AI Safety Concerns and Competition

Reckless. I mean, and part of the issue is that you've got the two

leading labs or AI companies, as I call them.

I, I, I find the lab term to be funny since,

since they're actually for-profit

corporations. Um,

but, uh, the AI companies, uh, the, the two leading ones, you know,

in, in--

are Anthropic and OpenAI. Um, and, and they're quite-- their

models are quite close in capability.

Um, so it's, it's actually difficult for either one to

slow down without

essentially handing the lead to the other.

Um,

you know, on balance, I, I, I think Anthropic is, is-- you know,

puts more, more

care into their safety than, than OpenAI.

Um, but,

but, you know, even Anthropic would acknowledges

that they are worried about their

models.

Um, you know, many, many Anthropic, um, many people from Anthropic have

publicly voiced concern about it basically saying that their, their models

are, are scaring them. That they're getting scary smart.

Um,

so

I, I mean, I-- and like there's no perfect solution here.

Mm.

But, but it would be a better solution if instead of,

uh, OpenAI running their test,

uh, harness on, on their own models, if Anthropic was also running the test

harness

on OpenAI models and, you know,

SpaceX is running its test harness and, uh,

Google and Meta were doing that and also maybe some three or

four of the leading Chinese companies were all doing it.

The odds that you will find issues are dramatically greater
