    They’re clearly 2 wildly different things. This is more like a weapons manufacturer saying homemade explosives are dangerous.

    Open source AI has the potential to be very dangerous.

      I don’t see the difference, you can easily burn down your whole house with the stove, the fire can spread through the neighborhood. Yet, just about everyone has a stove. Local AI will be the same after a decade or so.

        Their point is the damage you can do with AI will be significantly worse than burning a couple buildings down.

      Everything has the potential to be very dangerous, your cleaning products in your home are potentially very dangerous… The only thing open source AI is a danger to is the owners of these AI companies who have pumped all their money into nvidias pockets and are now sad they won’t be able to recoup that monumental loss of profit.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we need to protect the power of the AI companies. But what they’re saying is factually not wrong. AI has the potential to be dangerous. Significantly more than household cleaning products.

      Knives are very dangerous, hence they are only alllowed in industrial kitchens.

            Their point is that it is no longer a “glorified autocomplete”. And that’s where you misunderstand the entire point.

                A human brain is a glorified auto correct.

                Fact is, the AI that is dangerous is not giving advice about how to get to a car wash. It’s building hacks and scams etc. At a level and scale we’ve never seen before.

                I think the lesson that should be taken from this is not that we need to prevent open source AI from coming out. We should recognize that Anthropic is in control of weapons that should be regulated by the government more heavily than it is. And society as a whole should be preparing for the “mythos” style AI to be open sourced. Which is inevitable from the sounds of it.

                  We’ve had hacks and scams before. AI is just another tool making it easier than before to do it. Doing criminal acts are already illegal. Both with and without the use of AI.

                  I’m not sure how it could even be regulated. In my view it’s probably too late for any societal regulation. AI is open source and anyone can host it at home. I wouldn’t mind some regulation for corporations though.

                    Yeah, Anthropic should be regulated. As well as all the others. They’re the ones building this mess.
