You miss spelled the word stupidity.

Anthropic is, in particular, bent about safety. The problem is they are concerned about yesterday's threats.

The models that are out, and can be run locally, already open a pandoras box of concerns that we will never be able to put back.

Maybe what they're actually worried about is liability, not safety?

Today this is buildable, many models will happily help you glue everything you need together to make swapping in a new version of YOLO to track humans viable.

AI researches are out there worrying about the paper clip problem, about the singularity, about cyber security, about bio weapons, and drug manufacturing.

None of them are thinking about forward looking threat actor models.

I don't know what "forward looking threat actor models" means, but there are entire companies built around AI killing machines. Everybody is not only thinking about it, but doing it.

If you talk about movies that tell about dangers of AI, you can start with Terminator 1 - from 1984.

And you probably could find some earlier sci-fi too.

Good one.

It's much easier to focus on yesterday's threats than tomorrow's. A drunk looking under a lampost because that's where the light is, even though the keys were lost somewhere else.

That said, the AI companies are one of the few places where they take future concerns so seriously, that they entertain concerns most people observing them think are head-in-the-clouds-sci-fi-levels-of-delusional, e.g. "what goes wrong if it works?"

This does not make them correct about the threats of tomorrow. Prediction is hard, especially about the future.
