better utilization ≠ fair allocation, fair pricing the only chance to recoup wasted dollars is to enforce a (soon unnecessary) middleman by monopolizing computation power. Out-pricing consumers is one way, pushing policy against open or local models is another

OpenAI's longtime safety lead David Robinson has quit Friday and now he wrote a strongly negative piece on The Atlantic. > "Companies do not have anything close to certainty that good scores on their alignment tests actually mean a good model" > "there is a meaningful risk that rapid acceleration in AI capabilities leads to catastrophic and irreversible loss of control in the very near term." > "Today and tomorrow’s AI systems are far more capable and dangerous than the systems we were building even six months ago."
