Yeah, thank god those models have arrived. No thanks to Anthropic and their obnoxious gatekeeping, of course. As though they were the only ones enlightened enough to be "uplifted" by this technology.
Now we can actually use this stuff to improve our own security. Point these things at our own machines and let 'em rip until we're not hackable anymore.
I wanted to pay Anthropic to do this but I couldn't. I wasn't in the super special corporation list. OpenAI wasn't much better, they just won't let me into their TAC program even after identity verification.
Thank god the chinese are out there undermining these US companies.
The only people who seem to think that a world where only Anthropic and OpenAI can act as anointed gatekeepers to the most powerful models as the only rational path forward happen to work for these companies.
The entire world should not allow them to entrench themselves and build a business strategy around this and if open weight models and democratized access to the computing power to run them means these companies can’t exist then so be it.
I would rather watch the economy fall into a deep recession and hurt everyone to spare the entire world from this dystopian future.
Sorry Dario. You and your ilk don’t speak for humanity. Go cry on LessWrong if you feel so inclined, but people like these are the last people I would want yielding this power.
The best situation for us is the one where they exhaust themselves in unending competition. Neither the US nor China should ever be allowed to win, nor should OpenAI or Anthropic or any other individual corporation.
The second any one of them wins, oppression the likes of which we cannot even imagine will follow.
This is why this tech should not be left to the mercy of only a handful of labs. The only reasonable path forward is to leave it to the FOSS community. There will be big players of course, but the idea of locking this technology behind IP law and structural monopolies is untenable.
This also has the added benefit of the community pushing towards optimizations that increase efficiency and reduces the need for dedicated datacenters tasked with performing operations that doesn’t require it.
