We, meaning people who are informed to some reasonable minimum about this technology, are also aware that you can't just glance at some weights and be like "yep, looks safe". Nobody can claim to do that yet.

The US and Europe DO ban China-manufactured hardware that is detected to do illegal things, though.

We've entered a pretty adversarial era, and we know there are unexpected attack vectors available in frontier models. Just because you an inspect the weights doesn't mean you can derive the behavior.

I suspect the CCP would ban US models if they didn't need to distill them to make their own.

He also continuously claimed DOGE actually saved taxpayers money when it objectively did not.

Elon did some great things, like bringing EVs back into public consciousness, and SpaceX really did push the aerospace industry back into research/discovery mode. However, his behavior on social media and in the political sphere has been unfortunately quite, and I emphasize "quite" here, horrible.

The whole thing is getting ridiculous.

Everyone makes mistakes, especially with frontier models. The stuff with Grok shows that the person running the show has a pretty transparent agenda that the company isn't willing to push back on a bit for safety.

Besides, if Musk embeds his politics into everything he does, it's fair game to discuss his merits in that arena.

For those not aware, look for the green name highlight.

I don't know if humanity is what can do that, and likely nobody knows. But nature is not going to survive either once you broaden the time horizon a bit.

There's no anti-sun obsession, either. Sunscreen isn't anti-sun, and people are well aware that Vitamin D synthesis is an issue in farther northern/southern latitudes. There's definitely an increased recognition scientifically that excessive sun is extremely bad, though.
