TLDR: 1. Declare AI too dangerous for ordinary competition so you propose a regulatory regime where only the largest incumbents can survive 2. Warn about labor displacement while selling the product to executives as a labor-displacement tool 3. Warn about state overreach while asking the state to license and gatekeep frontier models 4. Warn about corporate power while sketching a corporate-state cartel over compute, release, security, export controls, and deployment

@DarioAmodei Do you even see the contradictions here? Did you even ask your own models?

@jconorgrogan @DarioAmodei Same exact playbook that @SBF_FTX tried to run with FTX

@DarioAmodei "Apply Hayek to the agency that slows my customers, suspend Hayek for the agency that gates my competitors"

@jconorgrogan @DarioAmodei He doesn't feel, see, think, or hear like the rest of us. Refer to the detached, soulless lack of empathy depicted in the demons in Frieren. Words are only a tool for him.

@jconorgrogan @banteg @DarioAmodei Sounds very much like what ftx attempted to do. Regulatory capture -> moat -> monopoly

@jconorgrogan Do you have ANY concerns about runaway AI ?

@jconorgrogan @DarioAmodei Also, our neutral caring stewardship policy comes with a $350m carrot, something I'm sure makes no difference compared to others who have proposed ai policies before this

@jross7878 @jconorgrogan @DarioAmodei @SBF_FTX guess who invested in Anthropic in the past. Mr Fried. They are part of the same EA community

@GeeCee802 @jconorgrogan I think what concerns him most is probably runaway AI, and the biggest risk to causing runaway AI is centralization.

If ASI is inevitable, and I think it is very clear that it is, then decentralized, democratized, and diverse AI is the ONLY answer to containing it.
