I think what is going on is that we no longer have any socially acceptable ways to deal with hooligans, so pretty much every behavioral risk group gets excluded in all circumstances, by any means.
Seniors in high school are no longer allowed to go to the State Fair without a “chaperone.” Then everyone will complain that they’d rather stay home and play video games

hot take but the safest thing for AI risk is Zuck, Jensen Huang and some Chinese labs leading the AI race
ASI would basically never happen if no one genuinely believes it could happen. the most unstable equilibrium is to have 3-5 ASI-pilled frontier labs gunning for the lightcone
Last month I wrote about how we can build a positive and safe future for everyone: meta.com/thefutureisforevery…
Every lab has the responsibility and incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and the ability to take its own actions to ensure that happens.
The reality is:
- People won't want to use agents that are misaligned with them and that don't do what they ask, so labs have a strong natural incentive to make their models more aligned.
There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is that trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities that will differentiate agents and models. Any lab that doesn't focus on alignment will fall behind.
- Labs face significant liability if their models cause harm, so they have a strong incentive to prevent this as well.
Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us. I'm proud of the security foundations we've built.
- Engaging independent evaluators and advisors is industry best practice. MSL already does this today in several areas because it helps produce better work. Other labs can just do this too. In general, it would be helpful for there to be a larger and more diverse ecosystem of evaluators.
- Committing the significant majority of compute towards serving people rather than racing towards recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to ensure we develop this technology safely. Meta has made this commitment and other labs can do this as well.
I believe the key to building a positive future for everyone is maintaining the right balance of power. This is within our power to do.

Why doesn't McDonald's have a Michelin star?
Breaking: Times critics think that shows enjoyed by college-educated Americans rock. Meanwhile, shows like NCIS, the Big Bang Theory, and Desparate Housewives drew over 20x as many viewers as an average Breaking Bad series. The Joe Millionaire finale drew 40x as many viewers.

Some observations around the interview
Q:Can be AI test environments be safe?
IMO: yes, but it needs effort in being built
Q: Can AI test environments be monitored safely?
IMO: yes, but it needs effort to be correctly setup and tested then it needs also a big chunk of compute to do the actual monitoring. And no, monitoring can't be none by another AI but deterministic software
Q: Can models be fully tested?
IMO: no, not in a practical way as deterministic software (classic/non AI) can (and yet it isn't)
@JensenHuang
Mr. Huang is correct in his evaluation but we need to realize what are we dealing with in this AI tech.
Investors push the labs for results fast and they will always do as they want that profit yesterday if possible.
Dario and Sam are probably begging for help (to be regulated exteranlly) precisely because they took too much debt and spending any of that money in "testing & security" related work that is invisible for anyone and most important to investors, is impossible.
I worked for more than 20 years in software development and I can assure you that even the non AI software is under tested because doing full testing is too expensive.
The fact that some bots were able to hack huggingface and orher systems means not only that the labs were sloppy with their own security but that the classic software they "cracked" wasn't tested sufficiently to clear out all the defects.
If a software has zero defects then it is unhackabke.
We were swimming before AI in an unsafe sea of classic software that could have been made safe and then we rushed to add even more unsafe software (AI) on top.
What can go wrong when our society is totally dependent on these systems?
Slowing down in AI and everything in software engineering doesn't mean to work less. It means to divert most if the investment funds in parts that aren't part of the product but of the tooling that produces the product.
You must convince all the investors that pushing for "fast mirackes" in AI is a very bad mistake and they need to allow the labs to spend most of their money in indirect costs for testing and monitoring.
That is what "AI slowdown" actually means.
My gut guess is that around 90% of the cost must go in testing and safety than in building the models themselves.
Last but not least.
The current agentic framework is fully unsafe and must be redesigned from scratch based on different fundamental principles.

New: Amazon wants former employees back — including some it laid off. In one email, a recruiter called the push the “Boomerang Reengagement Initiative.” In another, a recruiter asked whether Amazon’s RTO policy had driven the ex-employee away.

If youre wondering where the PM of Nepal 🇳🇵 gets his flow from, he used to be a rapper 👇🏼
"We have built a world with flawless logistics for war and broken logistics for food"
"This is not Nepal's private misfortune. Ask Bangladesh. Ask Bhutan. Ask India. Ask the Maldives. Ask Pakistan. Ask Sri Lanka"

The further to the Left you are, and the more radical your politics, the higher the chance that the Last Ditch story will resonate with you because some variant of it happened to you.

They’re paid.
Remember when all those conservative influencers also got paid to shill some random movie?
All with 0 disclaimer it was a paid advertisement.
We need genuine investigations whenever this many accounts coordinate on the exact same talking points

This is good advice that I should try harder to follow.
I do not engage seriously with or pay attention to low quality and/or bad faith disagreement/criticism.
A reason this has felt, instinctively, like a thing to avoid is I see many people who *do* pay attention to idiots who disagree start to cache all disagreement as idiotic.
A lot of people who have similar views to me seem to routinely underestimate the sophistication and rationality of, say, actually smart AI researchers who disagree with us, because they’re over indexing on Twitter reply guys.
