Fair point indeed from @naval :
If AI companies (Anthropic/OpenAI) train on the open web, perhaps they should be required to open their models after a certain period.
“And Anthropic, you’re the one talking doom and gloom, and you’re building God, but you’re not going to keep God on a leash for yourself, Dario.”
“If the government were to do it, is to say, “Hey, if you trained on the open web and open data, you have to open your model after after 12 months or something.”
That seems like a pretty fair thing to say.
We don’t want, like, a priest controlling God for the rest of us and interpreting the Bible for the rest of time.“

Should public be barred from accessing extremely powerful models for fear of bad actors? Is open source reckless?
The article discusses the dilemma of whether to restrict access to powerful AI models to prevent misuse by bad actors or to open-source them for equitable access, weighing the risks of power consolidation vs. societal harm. It suggests a middle ground, citing Anthropic's approach with guardrails, but acknowledges the limitations and trade-offs.
