Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it’s controlled
Meanwhile, the AI giants can block smaller competitors’ growth by positioning themselves as the safest bet for investors, as well as for AI chipmakers and tech companies such as Nvidia and Google, which in turn can benefit from deals that provide the giant AI companies compute power, Rolfes said. “They’re creating a wall or a moat within this sector. … It’s genius and they’re all going to make a lot of money,” Rolfes said. “That’s where I see this heading, having the top companies in the world just creating their own wall, and then using the safety as the reason.”
Cui Bono? Here's the REAL reason behind the AI Safety Panic. The Tech Bros want to build a wall that will give them a monopoly over AI. Essentially, they'll try to make it necessary to have a license to develop AI and prevent small companies or individuals from developing their own models using "Safety" as the excuse. This insures that they can use a Rentier structure for their Tokens and keep the financial model solvent enough to pay off the $Trillions$ in debt they have already accumulated on the build out.
The problem of course is that it would be nearly impossible to police this, and unless every country in the world agrees to it, developers will just go wherever they have the most freedom, or they'll work on it in secret. It might prevent unlicensed models from being used in a profit making venture selling Tokens to use the unlicensed model, but if you just use it for yourself it would be hard to stop. Sort of like Kiddie Porn, despite all the regulations there still will be plenty of illegal AI available on the Dark Net.
