General partner at Benchmark Capital for over two decades; was the lead analyst on Amazon's IPO before moving into venture capital. Writes Above the Crowd on tech and marketplace economics.
Another great point from @jason. The large closed model corporations have publically admitted their products are defective & can be used to hack/cause cyber crimes. They should 1) fix these issues, & 2) disclose these large (seemingly likely) liabilities in their S-1. Quoting @Jason The frontier model companies are responsible for how their products perform in the real world, and their customers are responsible for how they use them. If a user of Claude runs a cyberattack — especially one at scale — both the customer and the platform will be sued. This should be enough of an i… Related

Machine-learning researcher on open language models; writes the Interconnects newsletter and the RLHF Book, after leading post-training at Ai2.
Their words
I put the probability of complete extinction as being so low it isn't worth discussing, but the probabilities of AI caused disasters - e.g. cyber attacks on critical infrastructure or bio-risks - as being worth debating.

x.com In my latest op-ed for @TIME, I discuss why the OpenAI Hugging Face cyber incident represents a turning point for AI safety. If we want to prevent more autonomous cyberattacks from threatening critical infrastructure, we urgently need stronger regulatory oversight and new approaches to model training to ensure robust safety assurances by design, which is what we are tackling at @LawZero_.

Ajeya Cotra – "This might be the clearest warning shot we ever get"
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
I do think I want to push back on the cyber on the brain hypothesis that you raised a couple of times. We didn't find like particular evidence for the cyber nature of the task making all the hacking and crimes that they did more likely versus the impossible nature of the task.

Their words
even in this incident we saw there was a lot of pressure um as a result of this incident to stop doing cyber security evaluations and I really don't think that stopping doing evaluations and like sort of blinding ourselves to the result of evaluations is the right reaction to this problem.

everyone should go read @dwarkesh_sp’s post - it does a great job of laying out the timeline and what we know ( and don’t know) I do have two issues with it A) the use of anthropomorphic language. These are not civilizations nor do they have desires just like a CPU thread or a bunch of programs don’t. this doesn’t mean we downplay the importance of this moment for cyber - but using human parallels for what I believe is code is dangerous territory. B) IMO it gets the impact of open source models wrong and is unreasonably dismissive for reasons that are not clear. As @ClementDelangue highlights… open source Related

Bluesky I agree with this take by @billgates.bsky.social, who also highlights several of the growing risks of AI systems, including cyber, bio and loss of control. We need to be far better prepared to address the risks of frontier models being developed by leading AI companies. English, from French Je suis d'accord avec ce point de vue de @billgates.bsky.social, qui souligne également plusieurs des risques croissants des systèmes d'IA, notamment cyber, bio et perte de contrôle. Nous devons être bien mieux préparés à faire face aux risques des modèles de pointe développés par les principales entreprises d'IA.

the challenge with a lot of these cyber capable models is the same model that is able to sort of do something nefarious is the same model that can be very valuable in hardening an existing system.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
