This is the closest to my feelings about this entire situation I've ever seen written, covering a lot of the different facets of how stupid and painful it is (though it's been a good week for that kind of post.)

Since I have incredible respect for Armin and his work, this is very nice to see, and I hope it wakes some other folk up.

He really elides his thoughts on the "RSI business", wish he could have gone into a bit more depth there. Good post, though.

I’m not the biggest fan of Ed Zitron, but something he said that stuck with me is:

OpenAI and Anthropic spend much time warning us about “what if powerful AIs got into the wrong hands?”

But it’s already in the wrong hands.

wtf?? P(doom) relates to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_artifici... How would open source models bring about a MAD between humans and AI? By enabling us to wield aligned AI against nonaligned AI? If so, he should say so, and elaborate how open source models further that goal.
