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

      Very probably. I really don't buy their "AI is going to kill us" claims. If you can release something better than your competition you wouldn't want to slow down that.

      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!

      You are completely out of touch with the situation if you think this is the reason.

    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.

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

    Is this to strengthen financials? Less burn on training?

      Have you considered that he might actually just mean what he's saying?
      • ehwa373 minutes ago
        He certainly has many financial reasons to mean what he says. Neither here nor there.

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

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

    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.

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

    If they do this, it will just give China time to catch up.
    • achow30 minutes ago
      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.

    this is the wholly wrong approach. We need to advance as fast as possible, and harden our systems as much as possible. That's the only way to prevent another actor from "taking over the internet".

    Good luck convincing the chinese labs.
  • winstonwinston27 minutes ago
    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.
  • s1artibartfast25 minutes ago
    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.
