Anthropic CEO: Open-Source AI is getting dangerous (2023)

unfixed

Dangerous for their business model I guess.

Disappointing behaviour from him. Glad someone was watching and clipped it.

Dangerous for them. Great for everyone else who want alternatives. That means open weight models are good enough to threaten Anthropic's bottom line so much that Dario needs to get governments to ban the release of open weight models.

Paraphrasing him, he says that open source software which tool tens or hundreds of millions to build should be classified as a different category. And the implication being they should be banned. Why?

Of course, we should only trust Anthropic on this matter.

They just want US authorities to ban big corporations from using models like GLM etc. so that they can keep selling their overpriced tokens. Funnily enough, a ban like this would close to impossible to enforce on individuals, so I guess their lobbying efforts will soon be met by lobbying efforts from big corporations that are losing from this.

dario is a faux leader, one of many in the us. western tech is decrepit. best content these days comes from juejin

The interesting thing here is that Amodei is implicitly admitting he foresees open-weight models (and not "open-source", please...) reaching Mythos-equivalent capability before much longer. Which, I mean, d'uh; if you've been paying attention it's not a wild forecast. But it's interesting that he's admitting it.

If they are getting regulated to death they may as well bring the rest of the industry down with them, probably

Creating AI monopolies is more dangerous. How much better would it be for environment and privacy if instead of concentrating AI power in few data centers it's distributed across all compute and memory devices? If just few players control the narrative and the infrastructure it's a single point of failure or worse a single point of control. Bad for democracy, society, pushes inequality.

Actually all the things he lists make it safer for world wide adaption. A closed AI model should be illegal worldwide or at least in no way or form used by the government or public institutions.

It’s no different than the “speech is dangerous” safetyism people who push social media moderation, age verification / identity checks, and so on. Ultimately these views that sacrifice rights for safety are from people that don’t really value either.

"Please clap" - Dario Amodei, probably.
