Don't worry about it, they're not well managed, you can see it from their ops, their products, etc, they won't stick around. They're going to get ground to dust by Google and OpenAI at the high end and the chinese models on the low end. They'll end up in Amazon's pocket, Jeff's catch-up play in the AI war after sitting out the bidding wars.

I can see disliking deals with the Pentagon, but where's the hypocrisy? Did they say that nobody should do deal with the Pentagon?

The hypocrisy is that they constantly doom about ai existential risks but theyre also constantly training stoa models.

That’s just politics: basically they’re saying “let us do our thing, otherwise China will win this race”.

And it’s also market segmentation: they need to separate themselves from the others, and want to be the de-facto standard when people are looking for “safe” AI.

Would you find it more agreeable for them to dismiss safety entirely?

I would expect people who doom about AI existential risks to not train cutting edge models and give them agentic freedom.
