> The alternative is Claude-style "safeguards" aka censorship
Another obvious alternative is to just have the model do what you tell it to do, and then arrest people who use generic tools for crime instead of trying to make a kitchen knife that can't be used for stabbing someone.
For a kitchen knife this was okay, but the AI firms think that they’ve built a drone that’s the size of a phone but can fly 100km and can hold a kitchen knife. It might be used to assassinate someone before others can react or even catch them.
Personally I've been amused (from a safe distance) by the amount of child porn on Twitter, created by Twitter, and the fact that nobody is going to jail for it. We're just doing pedophilia out in the open now, apparently. I suppose it's not surprising, since it's the same extremely powerful people who regularly visited child rape island.
