At this point, I suspect that "AI Safety" has taken on the practical meaning of "regulations to make sure the big guys are the ones who benefit"... which is probably true anyways because of the capex needed to run these massive LLMs, but I am sure they would still like a moat or two against, e.g. the Chinese.

Otherwise I don't see what this means now; that the LLMs e.g. dont use racist terms? ok, great, nice, but how is that anything more than what you need to do on the web now anyway? how's that related to "AI" at all?

What I'd love to see is that this gambit backfires and instead we start talking about "tech safety" and that creates actual regulations with teeth that cut down the techzillas a bit (or a lot).
