<p>Dario doesn’t realize that by not offering self-hosting of closed-weight models and fine-tuning, alongside overly strict refusals for legitimate needs, he ceded this corner of the market which grew into a flourishing Chinese open-weight model ecosystem.<p>If he had wanted a weak open-weight ecosystem, he should have had Anthropic cater better to those needs. And now he's trying to ban them.<p>The strong momentum behind open-weight models from Chinese labs is now an unstoppable force. Instead of trying to ban it, Dario should consider a different approach: here are our cyber and bio alignment datasets and here are our RL recipes for making that alignment training work well. By openly sharing its data and code, Anthropic could help influence and shape these models before they are released, rather than treating the entire ecosystem as an enemy.<p>Cyber and bio alignment aren't Anthropic's competitive advantage, they are forms of risk management. There should therefore be little reason to keep this work private. If Anthropic genuinely believes these capabilities pose serious global risks, the more productive approach would be to welcome collaboration and help the broader ecosystem manage those risks better.<p>On refusals, the irony is that a company like Hugging Face had to use a Chinese open-weight model to fend off an illegal hacking of its platform (done by no other than OpenAI). If a company like Hugging Face can't get past the refusal gates, then everyone else doesn't stand a chance.</p>

<p>Let’s say the cost is $1k per day. That’s say $50k over the 7 weeks.<p>A doctor probably ends up with a $10M or bigger nest egg in retirement. At 4% withdrawal rate, that’s $400k per year, or $33.33k.<p>Spread the $50k expense over say 30 years, that’s $140 less per month.<p>So that means the spend would be $33.2k instead. The difference here isn’t going to register for the household budget.<p>Obviously a lot of assumptions, but this is the pragmatic view.</p>

<p>What gets me is that they probably could afford it out of pocket but didn’t want to deplete savings.<p>For a clear case like this, an insurance denial shouldn’t even be shared with the suicidal patient, their spouse should shield them from that and just pay from their checking account. The life of your spouse is worth more than a few more dollars in retirement.</p>

<p>Unquestionably they did not.<p>Their listed pricing was up to $50k.<p><a href="https://cyber-peace.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/ZERODIUM-How-to-Sell-Your-0day-Exploit-to-ZERODIUM.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://cyber-peace.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/ZERODIUM-...</a><p>And that was before LLMs could produce these at volume.<p>The demand (dollars) does not go up commensurately with the supply. So today maybe $500 or a few thousand. Maybe not even that.</p>

<p>Pretty much the whole thing in a nutshell is the one chart showing the same student as Asian, 25%, White, 36%, Hispanic 77%, and Black 95%.<p>This is institutionalized racism. Perhaps Affirmative Action was needed in the past to kickstart the disproportionate enrollment demographics, but it was past due to get rid of it.<p>The most interesting part following SCOTUS' ruling is that Harvard said it wouldn't change their ways, and nobody enforced the ruling.</p>
