Seems like the maximal position he could take compatible with his expressed principles. There’s no way to allow for bioweapon and cyberweapon grade models being open weight if one doesn’t want widespread human damage.

So I cannot disagree with him on the idea. It’s only a matter of degree and whether we’re already there or not. I have $50k in GPUs that incentivizes me to believe we are not.

This is where I'm at, or rather, will be. I like open-weight models and I've done my part in facilitating them, but if you believe in the increasing capability of these systems - and I do, to some measured extent - it seems plausible to me that an incident will happen at some point in the future.

I don't agree with his argument as a whole, especially not on some of the specifics (it is not great that this technology is being developed under the current US government), but I am sympathetic to the idea that some bells can't be unrung, and thus we should proceed with caution.

The actual danger that AI poses is to the fabric of society, not any bioweapon scifi bullshit weirdo freak Dario dreamt up to support his regulatory capture.

And extolling on how much damage his product would do to society has literally been one of Anthropic's main marketing tools.
