Yep exactly!

You’re correct–you actually can’t improve the model in one area without changing the characteristics in every other area. It’s almost like the whole thing is just a lot of linear regression…

So then we should be calling Dario out every time he opens his mouth, right?

I want to point out that Zitron is _just a guy_. He’s not a billionaire CEO. He’s not a politician. He’s allowed to say what he wants whether it’s right or wrong, and _he’s just a guy_. He’s not swinging stock values for a group of insiders by tweeting. He’s not using pension funds to pay for a jacked-up IPO. He’s blogging and making a podcast, neither of which is compulsory for you to read.

You don’t have to spend effort proving him wrong. Just don’t read it and move on with your life. Regardless of which “side” of AI you’re on it’s kinda ridiculous how much effort gets spent on screaming gotcha at this one commentator.

It's so convenient that the US government already classified China as "authoritarian". If they hadn't, Dario would have to say “it’s a risk that other people build models more powerful than us”. I have to wonder what his response would be if for instance a lab in France or Germany came out with an open-weight model this good.

If only there was some kind of markup language for websites where different tags could have different meanings. If only.

Sure, right now it's only available to $200/mo subscribers. It won't stay like that forever...

I like this quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!
