1) The HuggingFace attack was a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. So were Anthropic’s Claude gaining “unauthorized access to the production infrastructure of three different organization(s)” 2) Frontier labs have models that they are unable to stop from committing felonies. They should figure this out. 3) In 12 months open weights models will be released of the same capability. They will commit felonies too. If the model you are using or a model running on your infra commits a felony, you should probably stop using it or running it on your infra. 4) The govt should prosecute organizations that are running models that commit felonies. 5) The govt should not offer safe harbor to organizations that run models that commit felonies, just because those organizations have “embedded evaluators”. 6) The real slippery slope is allowing frontier labs to commit felonies without punishment because “the model did it because we’re accelerating too quickly” 7) Prosecute. Keep prosecuting. This is how you do reinforcement learning on a corporation. Companies that serve products that are unsafe for public use should not serve them. Period. 8) I’m not sure the anti-trust waiver is really necessary. I don’t see why information sharing about how much crime you’re allowed to commit is wise. In regulatory situations you want the corporation to fear MORE than the average case. You don’t want to establish a worst case that can be priced. You want regulatory uncertainty that forces the corporation to err in favor of being over cautious. — The above is actually a fairly decelerationist viewpoint. I think Dario’s call for regulation actually accelerates things. The AI firms are getting away with things that Meta people would be going to prison for. Can you imagine what would happen if the New York Times had a front page news article “Meta AI breaks into competitors live systems, attempts to establish dominant position and steals secrets” There is a reason Meta and Google are running slower, and that’s because as mature organizations they have layers of checks and balances. I think the frontier labs are better off creating those checks and balances right now, regardless of the pace of what everyone else is doing. You don’t have to accept the frame that unsafe acceleration must happen.
