š All this Doom talk is a distraction from the fact that the big frontier AI companies (especially OpenAI) arenāt doing security competently. As an email I just got from longtime security engineer @NielsProvos put it, consistent with what @ZackKorman and I wrote a few weeks ago, āRegarding existential risk, proper infrastructure controls matter for the broader loss-of-control argument. An intelligent model does not have authority over inference, networks, credentials, or physical infrastructure. Those stay external control points even as models become more capable. We know the labs are good at detecting distillation attacks but they don't seem to have the same incentives for preventing their own agents from misbehaving.ā
