That post is really dishonest, which is expected from Anthropic's CEO talking about the competitors. Dario conveniently omits that R1's approach was validated months before o1-preview came out, and DeepSeek releases the weights and architecture unlike Anthropic and OAI which produce black box models in the name of "safety". Then he tries to diminish their innovation, dismissing it as a normal step they're also capable of, saying v3 and R1 are competing with models that are 9-10 months old. Which is not really true. And then there goes the usual techno-feudal interjection: >If China can't get millions of chips, we'll (at least temporarily) live in a unipolar world, where only the US and its allies have these models. It's unclear whether the unipolar world will last, but there's at least the possibility that, but there's at least the possibility that, because AI systems can eventually help make even smarter AI systems, a temporary lead could be parlayed into a durable advantage So Dario envisions a unipolar world where a black box corporation (his own one, of course) controls a perpetually self-improving machine god and distributes scraps to the masses that are too unwashed and dangerous to control it themselves, while at the same time preventing other countries from breaking out and making their own self-improving machine god because they're evil. A boot stomping on your face forever, regardless of who you are. That's coming from an "ethical, helpful, and honest" guy. >To be clear, the goal here is not to deny China or any other authoritarian country the immense benefits in science, medicine, quality of life, etc. that come from very powerful AI systems. Everyone should be able to benefit from AI. The goal is to prevent them from gaining military dominance. And of course he immediately tries to deny that thought. |
