It is not even a good one. Is this really the most convincing argument the CTO of one of the most aggressive tech companies can come up with? Are these people just facades because with mental skills like this I don't think they can even run a lemonade stand. What even makes them useful, connections? Willingness to sacrifice their humanity for profit? A never ending obedience to shareholders?

    For a while I have been thinking that all this nonsense about AI world domination and lousy safe guards on grok enabling people to do indecent stuff is just a way for fastforwarding us into passing regulations for hardware gated LLMs so that people can't use open models too easily. After all, introducing bugs will shoot them in their own foot if open models surpass them.

    As for shitty code, I think the more unmaintainable it is the better for them because then you rely on their services to maintain the code and eventually they might quite substantially ramp up prices provided open LLMs remain underdeveloped or hard to access.

    Except small local LLMs probably aren't good enough to carry autonomous tasks correctly (even stuff like Haiku 4.8 from Anthropic makes mistakes quite often) and good luck getting something the size of Opus working in a soda machine. They may not even be able to lay low correctly. But then again these companies have internal models which are atleast couple generations ahead of what is publicly available so maybe they have more efficient smaller ones too? I somehow find it hard to believe but I guess we will see.

    Cutting edge open LLMs and applications like this is why they hastily signed that sloppy Unites States AI treaty. They will likely turn all their attention from hardware gated age verification to hardware gated LLM verification because suddenly shit became too real. All this talk about "AI is too dangerous, it can run rouge and hack stuff" is warming up to that.
