The problem I have with this "safety" is that for both cybersecurity and biology, they are reducing defensive capabilities and creating further asymmetry as they've put some of the most dangerous parties on the allowlist: governments and spook corporations.

For cybersecurity, remember staxnet. For biologicals, remember covid. Imagine that the capability marketing wasn't a lie and we could all defend against it without relying on anyone.

If their model is a weapon, doesn't 2A apply in the US then?

@Scoresby, didn’t you post a flywheel infographic in the saloon yesterday describing how they’re weaseling around stuff like this? I can’t find it.

I guess technically that graphic is about private information collection instead of information gatekeeping, but the same principle applies.

I’m increasingly baffled by how unconcerned the general public is about this.

The general public's thoughts on this have been increasingly "govt do something" rather than "I can fix this" and Anthropic's narrative aligns with that perfectly. It consolidates more power though, and that power is guaranteed to be abused. It's not the question if this will ultimately cause people to wake up, but only how many more covids do we need for that to get critical mass.

Hopefully for advocates of "govt do something" they will still be alive when that happens.
