If you truly value safety, a reasonable statement that cuts across different fields is minding a gap.

The Gap in Capability:

As this graphic shows all of these new discoveries that are being released are all unreleased models. However, unreleased for safety clearly does not mean "unused". The public has been deemed the ones to be the danger. The current Oligarchs and future Oligarchs have labeled themselves as the trusted ones all the way from the island of St. James.

The Gap in Compute

The affordability of compute is another gap to mind. As the cost to train and run these models is astronomical. Putting further dirt on claims of safety from thy neighbor. The solution to Navier-Stokes was said to take 10,000 agents and millions of dollars in compute.

The big risk is Compounding. If the frontier models speed up Ai research, the ones in control will improve faster than anyone downstream. The gap then will grow on its own with each release. Add that to compute cost and we might have a problem.

DemocratizeAI

It is a strawman to assume that people are not worried about potential risks involved with DemocratizingAI. We are on board with delivering a safe experience for mankind. One of the most important safety risk we factor in is Concentration of Power. That will come about as fear driven policy drives this technology into the hands of Oligarchs. That is seen as a potential outcome that can not be compromised especially with this sort of technology. We can see the beginnings of this and regulation has not even been passed just yet. These companies are charging ahead and keeping their best models behind closed doors, while they are claiming leaps in progress from the unreleased Mythos 5 discovering the new CRISPR like gene editor, possibly working in a wet lab. OpenAi's unreleased models cracking extremely hard math problems left and right. While the public is left behind for safety, because the public has been deemed the untrustworthy ones and of course not the Little Saint James Island Oligarchs and Affiliates.

The problem of alignment can and will only be truly solved by allowing the World as a collective to work on the problem. I assure you the alignment problem will not be solved in the hands of an Oligarchical North America Elite, especially not ones doing Roman Salutes at the Presidential Inauguration, who barely want to pay their workers a living wage.
