Howard opposes artificial development slowdowns, advocating for maximum openness.
@jeremyphoward Bad idea because I wouldn't trust most people with the frontier (just looking at my replies right now)
Easy solution to slow down recursive AI self improvement:
- The lab with the top-ranked model must agree THEY must not use it for working on frontier AI - But everyone else should have access to it.
By definition, this means the frontier doesn't advance.
Users rejected the proposal to limit access to frontier AI models because they viewed it as a bad idea.
@BlackHC Yes it's a bad idea.
(To be clear, *I* don't think we should try to slow down recursive AI self improvement - I think we should open it up and democratize it as much as possible. My point is: if *you* claim we should slow down, and you have the best model, you should ensure your org can't use it.)
@jeremyphoward We should slow down RSI if possible and if we can coordinate that but I rather have a lab with better governance have a comfortable lead than Russian roulette
The problem with slowing down otoh is the (compute and capabilities) overhang that might be created at the same time
@BlackHC Yes it's a bad idea.
