This is why we fear concentration of power in AI. This is a longtime OpenAI employee who recently left talking about the inner circle and what it takes to get in.
The “inner circle” here is OpenAI’s trusted access for cyber.
This is why we need open weight models.
The discourse on here has gotten so stupid that AI people are now arguing that cybersecurity people don’t think about weird ways computers can be exploited.
If this happens I am going full Butlerian Jihad decel. If AI is too dangerous for open weights then it’s too dangerous for private companies to control.
Employees leaving Anthropic: I am terrified that 8 billion people are going to die, which is why I propose a light-touch regulatory approach to AI safety.
I still can’t believe they count the Hugging Face incident, which was both entirely predictable and caused almost no damage, as a doomer victory. And now we all have to talk about mass extinction.
The independent review of the OpenAI Hugging Face incident, supposedly a watershed moment in cybersecurity, wasn't done by a cybersecurity firm and the authors have no cybersecurity experience. That's bad.
Here's my new video.
This is such an embarrassing post-mortem on the OpenAI/Anthropic security incidents. It's full of excuses.
If the labs don't cut ties with this partner, it's clear this is all just theatre.
