    Meaning they realized they hit a wall. The next new model isn't that much better than the last in quality.

      They can get a "government mandated freeze" on the grounds that "ASI is at hand" then they IPO promising to deliver right after the freeze ends and you, lucky investor, will be able to take advantage of the pause to get in right before this thing roars past Pluto!

    Those regulated models aren't just going to capture themselves!

    Yes. We must always trust these ass hats because they have our well-being at heart.

    Everyone, collectively, stop thinking about neural networks too 'hard'. Whilst you're at it stop doing maths too!

      Math is tough! Let's go use open weight models!

    Meaning: slow his competitors; mainly because anthropic stopped focusing on product and quality. Instead their big push right now is preventing others from catching up.

    Is this to strengthen financials? Less burn on training?

    Recalling their recent misuse report [0], I kind of agree with them. And performance/intelligence wise I think we are already at quite a nice local optima.

    Sounds like they hit a wall and are looking to score points for it.

    If they do this, it will just give China time to catch up.

      China will also slow down. They are catching up with SOTA models due to distillation https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa...

      lol. Every time one of these ppl says something like that, it's because he just came out of a meeting where he learned that his direct US rival is beating him... So he is suddenly interested in regulation. We've been there with Altman, Musk, etc already. But at the time Anthropic was ahead :-)

    I was prompted to accept binding arbitration in order to read this, so I didn't. Feel free to summarize.

    Good.

    It will take decades of economic and social innovation to catch up with current model capabilities.

    No upside is worth the potential downsides of getting this wrong, even if you set aside all the x-risk stuff.

    Why makes no sense at all unless you are very naive trusting they would not jump straight to the endgame if it was possible with the technology available.
