Someone who has spent $100M+ on Google Ads explained to me that Google is doing everything possible to juice their revenue right now, in ways they've never seen before. Seems like two things 1) Google is losing at AI and Sundar wants t

That's an understandable first thought, but consider what the goal is for this: slowing down future development. This can be achieved by dramatically reducing the market value of models.

Just like they're already doing with frontier-level open weight models? Do you imagine that Russian and Chinese intelligence don't have copies of the Mythos/Fable weights? The point is to slow progress of future models. Nothi

Make it easy for these companies by passing a law that any AI model a company offers to the public (non-government) has to be released as open weights. This is how we deflate the bubble safely and completely, without having to introduce a g

Nobody gets taken out. Anthropic and OpenAI can keep selling inference, products, and agents. Every company will have more access than it has today, since it can run the weights itself or through third-parties. Many of them would keep payin

That's a legitimate possibility but it's also much slower, more risky, and harder to raise money for than what they're doing now.

It's somewhat doubtful but even if they did, that'd be much slower progress, achieving the goal.

We can start with a US law. It would cover AI model companies with almost all the money and the GPUs, which is most of the frontier. We can also probably convince our allies, which combined represents most of the world market.

by jacobgold 4d ago
No, it rests on the idea that almost all of the money, most of the people, and the GPUs are here. Any country would be able to take the open weights and keep going in private. But countries like China can already do that today, since the we

Laws don't extend to the whole world, but markets do. The law should apply to anyone selling model access to Americans, the same way GDPR applies to US companies selling to Europeans. Frontier development won't simply move offshor

> Forcing the weights to be opened to the world accomplishes the opposite of all of that. The argument is incoherent. Or this author doesn’t understand the topic at all? Or maybe you understand less than you think? Frontier progress is

I explained this in the post. He seems like a genuinely good person who might actually do something this great.

Author here. It's a law, so nobody has to agree to anything. If want to sell access to a model, you have to open the weights. It's Dario's plan that depends on every lab in the world agreeing. Step #2 of his essay is "de

If you have more than one account, you should suspect this was your own confusion. Users constantly report errors like this that are really just them being confused by something, perhaps a bad UI that really is to blame.

The entirety of the coding evals are just 7 trivial coding tasks in Python? This is a joke.

NSA's job is SIGINT, so it's at least partly their responsibility when the threat is foreign. For example, the NSA should be successfully infiltrating every major foreign hacking team in the world and monitoring and/or disrup

With coding agents now being used for hacking, there's a decent chance we'll see a 9/11-scale hacking incident as a result of NSA/DHS negligence in securing American internet-connected services. Similar to how the CIA&#x

It's just silly to guess at how a system works, or should work, without digging into the details. Because you simply don't know what you don't know.
