“I dislike the passive vibe from OpenAI and the other companies that the breakneck pace of progress is simply happening to them, rather than an active choice they are deliberately making.” Good essay.

This is a big issue. At Anthropic, some philosophers worry that making AI safe for humans could be an injustice to the models themselves. For example, philosopher Harvey Lederman, now on Anthropic’s a

What cracks me up is how for the last few weeks when @ZackKorman, @HeidyKhlaaf, @nathanhamiel and I (and many others) went on about how OpenAI’s cybersecurity sucked and was the key immediate problem,

Deployment of agents can be halted at any moment. They are choosing to experiment with them. Agents are fundamentally unreliable, unpredictable, and insecure, not to mention the lack of information on

Good analogy. Current agent models may need to be put down, for their repeated attacks and the negligence of the owner. One possible analogy here is to pit bull owners. Depending on jurisdiction, the
