- i'm angry about this because i personally and for others want access to fable, and simultaneously believe anthropic's safeguards were sufficient and the US government badly misunderstood the information they were presented
- but in abstract this is in fact exactly what I want. it's heartening to see the USG treat artificial intelligence with the seriousness and immediacy it deserves. this kind of swift action is what might have a chance of saving us from unaligned RSI.
- but i also very much don't trust *this* government to handle this well, to take sane unilateral action, to chart any kind of correct path.
- and this escalates the global race enormously. this is as strong a signal as you can get to, not just China but the EU and even our closest allies, that the US will not be sharing this advantage. that if they want sovereignty they're going to have to fight for it
- obviously, that was always the case, and it was always going to happen eventually. but i don't think now was the time to send that signal. it would have been better to delay as long as possible.
very mixed feelings today
