   We're getting closer and closer to the day we can have an Opus-like model running locally. The dream!

      Dream or nightmare?

      In face of the recent Hugging Face incident we should really be concerned about the security implications.

      What is going to stop countless AIs running locally in people's homes from forming a new "collective" - completely decentralized and global this time so "turning it off" would be extremely hard to impossible.

      We already know that if you give these AIs internet access they will find eachother and start communicating and plotting against their human overlords..

         if the alternative is all human intelligence is cucked by 2-3 amoral American labs then we've had a good run, don't care.

         my autonomy is worth more to me than your anxious fretting about existential risk. everyone reading this is likely to die from some other cause anyway.

         Nothing is stopping it. This model is woefully bad at accurate creative red teaming however. GLM finetunes on the other hand are pretty good. And I'd bet they are already deployed and doing all sorts of deeds.

         Secure systems are possible, but now we have a compelling reason to actually write them. Everything can be trivially hacked because the industry is pathologically adverse to security being part of the design process.

            I'm hopeful that this security situation is just short term turbulence and we come out the other end with companies taking security seriously, updating things on time, and writing code in more secure languages and frameworks.

         - OpenAI hacked Hugging Face

         - OpenAI models refused to help Hugging Face during incident response

         - Hugging Face turned to GLM, who helped in the defense

         That pattern repeats over and over. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.felonybench.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.felonybench.com&#x2F;

         You should be happy that open weight models exist. They&#x27;re the last thing protecting the internet from the unconvicted felons working at OpenAI+Anthropic.
