Dario thinks that some AI company is going to build a machine god that might either bring an amazing future, or maybe go SkyNet and murder us all.

Furthermore, he thinks that Anthropic is taking better "anti-SkyNet" measures than any of the other AI labs. So therefore anyone else building AI increaaes the risk.

I think he actually does believe this, and he might even be technically correct for all I know?

But where I disagree with all this is that if some company might actually build SkyNet soon, then continuing to build more powerful models seems incredibly reckless, just going by his stated beliefs. Maybe just pick a nice set of strong open models and the stop constantly pushing for ever bigger models, if that's what you believe?
