Jack Clark from anthropic was asked about some version of this on the BBC recently, and his reply was basically: If you're not at the frontier, you don't know what the frontier looks like, he implied that many models are simply not good enough yet to encounter some of the things the leadings labs are encountering. I've been friends with Jack over 15 years now so I'm inclined to take him at his word, and the rebuttal seems reasonable enough, although... something about it I can't put my finger on feels peculiar to me. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY8MOhlqC4U" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY8MOhlqC4U
Mensch and Clark are both saying the things they would be expected to say to improve their own company's chances in a potential new regulatory regime.
Yep, when you can't compete, time to regulate.
I think it will work in Europe, but the United States is in a cold war with China, so I can't imagine the United States would intentionally disable themselves.
The only chance OpenAI and Anthropic have of realizing anything close to their valuations is if Americans are somehow banned from using Chinese models. Our president has made it very clear to everyone that he can be bought, and bought cheaply. A lot of what we are seeing may just be setting up the inevitable.
