Surprisingly incoherent for Anthropic and Dario (cue peanut gallery — “always has been!” No, I don’t think so. I think this is new).
It seems to me like there is just no good answer to how one could possibly stop open weight models from being used for nefarious purposes. How are you going to enforce guardrails on open source? The only way is to turn the USA into a 1984-type totalitarian surveillance state (even more so than it is). Unable to say that, we just get this floundering instead. How long is not giving them chips going to slow them down? Until we RSI? Then what? Just because RSI runs off the exponential doesn’t mean that the eventual open-weight Moonshot Mythos won’t be able to make bioweapons. Genuinely what is the endgame.
