Because the risk here is that permanent military superiority may be achievable without your adversaries having a chance to react, which is not the case with atomic weapons.

> Any cooperation we are able to achieve with China will extend the amount of time we have to spend on pacing the frontier within the democratic nations.

Any cooperation we are able to achieve with China will extend the amount of time we have to secretly establish permanent AI (i.e. military) superiority.

China knows this, so the suggestion that they will play ball is absurd.

The other labs already censor their models. Everyone is trying to find the sweet spot where performance and ‘alignment’ are both maximized. This seems no different

Totally agree, it’s an uncomfortable compromise.

They are not unique in this. Apple and Tesla have similar programs. More nuance is warranted here. They are trying to balance the need to enable external research with the need to protect users from arbitrary 3rd parties having special capabilities that could be used maliciously

You could say this about coordinated disclosure of any widespread 0-day or new bug class, though

Yes, and that's normal. Coordinated disclosure is standard practice when the risk of public disclosure is unacceptable.

In this case there is almost no distinction. Assuming the model is as powerful as claimed, someone with access to the weights could do immense damage without additional significant R&D.

> Steve would roll in his grave.

Steve understood better than anyone that having a finite amount of time to build means you can't please everyone. The vast majority of Apple's customers just do not care about the Keyboard settings UI or the clarity of unusual error messages.

Now we have strong sandboxing by default and many other platform security advances to mitigate that risk. You can download any software off the Internet on macOS, so why not on iOS?

Predictable own goal. If a lot of UK users end up routing their traffic through a foreign VPN then GCHQ's backbone taps become far less useful.
