Let’s face it: after-the-fact API guardrails are not the right safety tool for frontier models.

They don’t make dangerous capabilities disappear. They just hide them behind a brittle interface that can be easily jailbroken.

A better safety agenda:

- don’t train models for very high-risk capabilities without strong evals, justification, and containment

- use staged release, as pioneered by @IreneSolaiman, from trusted testers to broader access, and open release for transparency and accountability

- massively support open-source AI so the gap between players does not become so large that a few closed labs and governments end up with overwhelming capabilities and power over everyone else

- enable independent evaluation instead of asking everyone to trust a black-box API

- give law enforcement, courts, regulators, auditors, journalists, and civil society strong AI tools to detect, investigate, and hold accountable unlawful uses of AI

Safety means transparency, staged deployment, distributed power, and making sure democratic institutions can actually enforce the law.

@marcgbellemare @reliant_ai @cohere Huge! Félicitations!!

@perreaux Most annoying is that noone is covering the accessibility angle, notably as the McGill/Maisonneuve one has the only elevator down to Green line. Signed, Dad with a stroller who wants fresh air and not the Centre Eaton

@KarineHains @TheHockeyNews Small typo for Bolduc!

@nectarios I recommend Raffi - at least a lot of songs have better instrumentation and drive someone a little less mad…

@jrodgers I wonder if it makes them forego/fasttrack IP assignments. Any cues? Or precedent in Waterloo?

@markmacleod_ That’s a good quote.

Energy is strategy.

Health is a competitive advantage.

Presence is a leadership skill.

Creativity is deceptively hard, because it’s our inexperienced reflex to want to be “great”, that in itself produces bad:

Wanting to create a magnum opus creates things that have too many elements and are overcooked. The first song I ever produced was the most complex I ever did. I thought it was epic at the time but it was terrible looking back.

Wanting to create something wildly original goes too far and loses subtlety and nuance. In my intermediate music production phase I made very strange and original music that had no hooks or real listening pleasure.

The thing that makes us junior, is striving for a caricature version of greatness. The sooner you can destroy that caricature, the sooner your taste and abilities can mature.

@scottastevenson Scott, i’ve been following a while. Love how you’re speaking up. Let me know when you’re in Mtl - would love to meet.

[PG @PeeGeeQc]

@scottastevenson This does not matter as much as people think, especially for big firms.

@mhashimjr Moe! I have a spare ticket in the reds for the jan20 game if you can make it down to mtl!

@nectarios You rocked it yesterday man. Rest this weekend - much deserved!

@lacker @AndrewArruda Should only do this on paid accounts with no reuse of prompts and inputs though!

@davidmanheim Which is why there’s the general purpose category of systems

@gregisenberg @sebpaquet Thanks for shining a light on this. The picture you paint mostly shows one thing - you haven’t found the right attorney for your mindset. The models are changing, and like any profession, where value is created is the only thing that matters.
