Summary
This weekend, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, posted an essay calling for a brake on the pace of development of LLMs. Anthropic was founded in 2021 because Amodei didn’t think Altman took the risks of the technology they were building seriously enough. Now, it seems, they’re all in agreement: The latest generation of LLMs aren’t safe and everyone needs to figure out what to do about it. It’s easy to be cynical. It’s not at all clear what any of them mean by a slowdown or how it would work. And yet the vibe at the top of these firms does appear to have shifted.
