<p>Greg KH said this week in his talk at Kernel Recipes: yes CVEs are increasing, no reason to panic, a lot of the LLM CVE fear mongering is overstated [1].<p>This is a more valuable insight/signal than a CVE enumeration, especially given that Linux CVEs are literally assigned to any bugfix (as others explained as well).<p>[1] <a href="https://youtu.be/NnV_cWeoo5Q" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/NnV_cWeoo5Q</a></p>

<p>It’s not the argument he’s making.<p>Firearms are an application of more general techniques like combustion, which your car is (probably) using too.<p>We could definitely draw lines at points where it makes most sense.<p>AI to detect melanomas is a completely different application than AI for autonomous warfare.</p>

<p>Exactly, this is correct.<p>People often assume they are not because they can ask the same query to the same model and get differences in output, but wrongly conclude that this is some inherent LLM trait, instead of non-determinism added on top of it because of implementational choices that were made.</p>

<p>Hm, yeah, depends who you’re marketing this to.<p>Also, the “0 ports opened” marketing is misleading. It still binds to a port and then also lets people access your resources over it.<p>I dislike that Cloudflare Engineering has become more… marketingy as of late. Also with their Cloudflare OS misnomer. Their products used to make more sense, what happened?</p>

<p>I think both presented plans are suboptimal.<p>However, Dario’s plan is BY FAR the least compelling and non-sensical. I think a constructive discussion should identify issues with current proposals so that we can instead develop something valuable.<p>Dario’s plan is bad because:<p>1. It’s blatant window-dressing to monopolize and concentrate power in a field in which, currently, no company has established moat and there is no practical path to create that. Anthropic knows that and doesn’t like that. That is exactly what his incentives are and proposals from him should be viewed through this lens. Just like how SHELL has a clear conflict of interest with progressive proposals on CLIMATE POLICY.<p>2. It clearly is ineffective in achieving the presented goal of ‘moral alignment’. Chinese labs are open weighting and are 3-6 months behind US labs. What levers does the US currently have to align on this? The answer should be in international diplomacy, but given that Jared Kushner was the US delegate sent to talk about NUCLEAR issues in Iran, one should draw the conclusion that this lever is broken. Any meaningful repair work (which is non-trivial and will take a long time anyway), cannot even start within 2 years.<p>3. Anthropic is and has long been working with the Department of War on killing machines. Their machines were and are being used in the US war with Iran. This is only shocking to people that read about their news stunt that made Anthropic seem so distinguished. This is what exalted Dario to become the pop-posterboy of an “ethical AI” company. Objectively, guidance based on his moral compass should be challenged and this media campaign should not cloud that. Again, this relates to the earlier point I made that Dario’s for-profit company incentives being fundamentally misaligned with the public interest.<p>4. Your government, the United States, is authoritarian and that is the biggest threat to any altruistic “moral alignment” endeavours happening there.<p>Yet, Dario misidentified the state of the system that his company exists and operates within when he wrote:<p>> “The US and other democratic governments attempt to coordinate with authoritarian governments”<p>A valuable discussion can start when “the US and other” is moved to the part after “coordinate with”.</p>

<p>Yawn, you gave a lot of praise but said a whole bunch of nothing substantively.<p>I work with LLMs daily and recognize the value (for me, it’s speeding up SW development) but I’ve heard the same old song for the past 3 years.

<p>These resets also reset your weekly timer right. So it’s like, you may have 30% left for 1 days that you want to use. They reset it, and that means you your “new week” timer starts today.<p>That sucks, because it doesn’t always work in your favour if you plan your weekly spend.<p>I think a real reset shouldn’t also reset your week timer.</p>
