"Dangers" may indeed be hyped up for marketing purposes or domestic regulatory-capture motives. But as Xi stated, they will become real.

It is just a question of being unaffected by the motives of the speakers, which is what adults learn to do.

replying the request for sources with "as xi stated" without bringing the sources again is quite misleading. It seems you have nothing to back what you are saying.

"google is your friend"

The person I am replying to actually believes that Xi actually spoke of "open weights", for example. This is the AI information space we live in.

> But as Xi stated, they will become real.

But the speech doesn't say that? I'm looking at the full text. For example:

> We should take seriously the various types of inherent and secondary risks that AI may trigger.

The risk portion of the speech is focused more on application-level risks than model capabilities. Which is a much more sensible regulatory framing than what Silicon Valley has proposed.

The claim that the speech was somehow supporting open weights was pure Western imposition. China does not support open weights generally, and Xi makes plain that some systems of weights - perhaps still future - would have inherent risks, same as Amodei says of Mythos, whether or not he is bull_ing about it.
