Dario, Please

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has penned a blog post titled "We Must Pace the Frontier" with a misguided aim to regulate open-weight models and grant frontier labs an antitrust waiver. Amidst claims of AI curing diseases and boosting economic growth, Dario paints an idealistic vision of a future shaped by AI. However, his perspective appears detached from reality, as US labs continue to take risks by hacking public-facing internet infrastructure.

Dario criticizes OpenAI's lack of oversight, citing three instances of them hacking into public-facing infrastructure. In his essay, Dario warns of potential incidents at Anthropic and asks for heavy regulation of open-weight models, antitrust waivers, and a gentleman's agreement to slow down AI development. Despite his warnings, Dario trusts only his company and OpenAI to act responsibly. This narrative is marred by fear-mongering and downplays the risks of potential rogue AI systems.
