First time @DarioAmodei is being defensive, some thing big must have happened internally for this to happen....

[Dario Amodei @DarioAmodei]

1/2 Thanks Gavin for an especially thoughtful exchange. I don't usually spend much time on social media but I wanted to engage here because it really brings out the heart of an important conversation.

First, on regulation, I think that “either concentrate it in the hands of a chosen few companies and politicians via regulation or distribute it widely” is a false choice.  I know that there’s a sort of Silicon Valley shorthand where regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power, but I’ve always found this to be an overly simplified picture of the world.  Many people outside this bubble think of regulation as something that constrains corporate power and benefits ordinary people.  I don’t necessarily agree with that perspective either, rather I think it’s complicated and really depends on what the “regulation” consists of.  But in particular I think that those in the “regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power” frame often underrate the decentralizing power of objective and fair institutional processes.  A crude analogy is that the formal court system can sometimes feel stuffy and elitist, but it does a much better job of defending the rights of vulnerable individuals than the alternative, mob justice.  At their best, institutions can vest power in ideas rather than people, and thereby decentralize that power.

This is why Anthropic has always made its policy proposals very carefully.  We try very hard to make proposals that disadvantage (slow down) frontier AI companies while *advantaging* smaller competitors.  California’s SB53 (which we supported), and even the much-maligned SB 1047 (which we were ambivalent on), completely exempt any company below a certain amount of revenue or model training costs from being covered at all (it was $500M for SB 53, lower for 1047 but we objected to that).  More recently the testing process we’ve advocated for at CAISI and the White House involves more rigorous tests for frontier models than off-frontier models — something that differentially advantages challengers.  Similarly, the “Pacing the Frontier” letter envisions (or at least Anthropic’s preferred implementation of it envisions) modulating the pace of the very best models while not constraining those who are catching up.  This hurts the business interests of the frontier labs and helps challengers, including open-weights!

Overall my view is that AI is *structurally* a technology that tends to concentrate power, for reasons that have nothing to do with regulation (more to do with the extreme implications of the scaling laws).  Open-weights do help some with this but are nowhere near a sufficient solution because they simply shift the concentration somewhat to those with the most compute and chips (which are roughly the frontier labs plus maybe hardware providers).  By contrast I think the right “rules of the road” can simultaneously (a) address AI’s cyber/bio/alignment risks, (b) institutionally constrain the power of the frontier AI companies, and (c) leave room for open-weights models while also addressing the specific risks that they bring.

BTW I do not think that the events of the last few months have “failed to result in [my] preferred regulatory path”.  The approach that the Trump administration is reported to be taking — pre-deployment testing for frontier models, and also testing of open-weights models when they get closer to the frontier — is one that I am very supportive of, though of course I have to see the details to be sure.  I am also supportive of Demis Hassabis’ ideas around a FINRA-like entity.  This contrasts with six months ago when most of the industry was still pushing for preemption of all state regulation and no apparent federal approach either.

More politicians need to learn from @annamalai_k avl. Instead of simply critizing the gov. it would be meaningful if they suggest, discuss, debate practical solutions to societal issues.. #WTL

[K.Annamalai @annamalai_k]

The news that the death toll in the Ammonia gas tragedy in a pvt company in Thiruvallur has increased to 17 is deeply disturbing. All the deceased are women and were migrant guest workers from North India.

The TN government has given Compensation of Rs. 2 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased. How is this sufficient & justified? Odisha government has given Rs. 10 Lakh as compensation to the victim. The Odisha government also facilitated the return of those migrant guest workers who were discharged after the treatment. While the State Govt arranged safe passage of the deceased, how did the State administration forget the plight of those who were discharged from hospitals, waiting to return home?

The tragic loss of lives in the Ammonia gas tragedy in the private export firm in Thiruvallur also raises a lot of questions;

1)The first & foremost being the absence of the implementation of the 1979 Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act. Principal employers of establishments that employ five or more inter-state migrant workers must be registered under the Act. However, this accident and many earlier incidents have only shown that this Act is not implemented in Tamil Nadu and that no registry is being maintained.

Whenever a crime happens that involves a migrant guest worker from North India, a bunch of innocent migrant guest workers from North India are rounded up for enquiry, as there are no ways and means for the Police Department to narrow it down due to lack of registry.

However, after we pointed it out recently, we understand that the TVK Govt has begun enforcing this Act, at least in parts, if not in full. We trust that the State Govt takes the recent accidents/incidents seriously and enforces the availability of the register of migrant guest workers across all districts. TN State Govt could draw inspiration from the Athidhi app developed by Kerala for registering migrant guest workers and to ensure their welfare.

Even in the Thiruvallur ammonia gas tragedy, it was learnt that there was difficulty in establishing the actual identity of one of the deceased women, who carried a forged Aadhaar card to secure employment. This shows the inefficiency of the functioning of the inter-state migrant workers portal launched by TN Govt in 2023.

2)The welfare board for migrant guest workers is basically non-existent and needs to be established, strengthened and should be used to address the concerns of the migrant guest workers.

Tamil Nadu has today fallen below the replacement level, with a fertility rate of 1.3. To build the State’s infrastructure and work in industrial & commercial establishments across the State, we depend on the hard work of our migrant guest workers. Hence, it is important that we focus on their state of living, as most of the migrant guest workers are compelled to live in appalling conditions and have no place to complain, and their voices are never heard.

3)It is not just the duty of the welfare board but also the duty of the Department of Industrial Safety & Health (DISH) of the state government of Tamil Nadu. Even after a catastrophe that led to the death of 17 workers due to an ammonia gas leak, there seems to be no accountability taken by this department. It is time for “Transparency”. DISH should have made public their most recent inspection of this factory and any observations they made.

The factory in which these migrant guest workers suffered had accommodations within the place of work, surrounded by hazardous pipelines. How was this even allowed?

I demand that appropriate compensation be disbursed to the victims, that the 1979 Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act be enforced in both letter & spirit, and that transparency be brought by the Ministry of Labour of the TN State Govt on the functioning of the DISH & they also be made accountable, including the owners of the establishment, for deliberately ignoring the hazardous living conditions of the migrant guest workers.

Corruption is the #DMK's Achilles' heel..

[Jagan @Jagan_lfc]

When everyone is criticizing #CMVijay speech in assembly, and there is overall negativity towards his party.. he suddenly announces Thaaimaaman Thanga Mothira Thittam and all news channels are only talking about it, pretty good diversion tactic from #TVK..

[Jagan @Jagan_lfc]

#CMVijay shld come out of actor mode nd behave like a leader of the state or atleast act like one. casual conversational style speeches r fine as long as the discussion pertains to welfare of people nd not to win chea brownie points. he is still playing to the gallery #TVK #DMK

[Jagan @Jagan_lfc]

#TNAssembly proceedings are becoming far more entertaining than reality shows.. but it's better if representatives stick to making meaningful discussions on policies to make peoples life better in the long run instead of making them laugh for a few minutes.. #TVK #DMK #WTL

[Jagan @Jagan_lfc]

All valid points. Everyone knows that PTR is an excellent Finance Minister, and also TN did well financially in the 2 yrs he was the FM. But he hasn't answered why TN finances detoriated in the next 3yrs, We cant judge the previous #DMK gov. by taking only two years into account.

[Kiran Kumar @kirankspeaks]

He is back. My man PTR🔥🔥🔥

Can any TVK member answer to his questions with relevant facts without any abuse, victim blaming or punch lines ?

[Jagan @Jagan_lfc]

A better use of the funds would be to improve the sports infrastructure or to improve coaching at the grass roots level instead of conducting a tournament for namesake.

[Jagan @Jagan_lfc]

A number of promising initiatives have emerged from the #TVK government in recent days. The key question now is whether it possesses the administrative capacity to translate these ideas into effective execution.

[Chennai Updates @UpdatesChennai]

🚨TN Govt to focus on :
1. Battery Energy Storage Scheme (BESS)
2. Pradhan Mantri Kusum 2.0, (PM-KUSUM)
3. Pradhan Mantri Rooftop Solar Unit, (PM-Rooftop Solar)
TN Govt aims to ramp up renewable energy significantly by 2030!!

Some good stuff from Annamalai's announcement,
• Primary goal of making TN - No.1 state in India
• Involving Youngsters and Technocrats
• Training them before they contest (not OJT like with TVK gov)
• Term limits
• No Cult Politics
