We’d love to hear more about this and see a deeper discussion here. https://github.com/orgs/openapi/discussions/categories/open-...

> Read what follows as a map: where open AI is winning — some numbers surprised even us — and where it is exposed. A case that hides its weak points is an advertisement. In the six weeks since our first draft, a major US lab returned to open weights and Washington debated a ban and declined it. The map moved while we drew it. Some interesting numbers throughout, but I'd love to read the presentation without the obvious Claudeisms.

ctrl+f for "distill" is pretty enlightening as to the bent of this publication, for better or worse. They do cover the idea to some extent, but mostly to dismiss threats from DC. If the creator wanders through here: this is a fantastic presentation from a dataviz perspective, but next time it'd very much be worth the money to pay someone to rewrite 100% of the copy. The Claudisms are just impossible to ignore, and makes you constantly wonder "is this sentence hallucinated, or real?" I originall clicked this to see discussion of safety, but I guess I'm not sure what I was expecting. Not sure what to say, either. I guess I just hope the mass casualty event that changes everyone's minds on this topic is in the thousands or tens of thousands instead of the millions or billions :(

Why is this so cryptic to read?
