1 replyHe recently got Daniel Gross, who co-founded Safe Super Intelligence with Ilya Sutskever and Daniel Levy. I wonder if AI safety and alignment is code for making sure these things don’t end up encouraging another Holocaust. We all saw what happened with Microsoft’s Tay and more recently xAI’s Grok.

Safety/Compliance/Governance will in the long term be the value-add for buying vs using an open model. Don’t get me wrong— there is a real, strong need for things like mechanistic introspection and interpretability, but the guaranteed/certified/indemnified/regulatory-compliant angle is also real, and where the steady revenue stream lives.

I feel like Meta is successful in spite of Zuckerberg. Every venture they attempt besides advertising seems to fall flat. Buying other companies seems to be the only thing they're good at.

Is there any actual journalism here or is it just 'Meta competitors make fun of Meta and I have nothing else to write about' ?
