Am I the only one who thinks mention of “safety tests” for LLMs is a marketing scheme? Cars, planes and elevators have safety tests. LLMs don’t. Nobody is going to die if a LLM gives an output that its creators do not like, yet when they say “safety tests”, they mean that they are checking to what extent the LLM will say things they do not like.

An LLM can trivially instruct someone to take medications with adverse interactions, steer a mental health crisis toward suicide, or make a compelling case that a particular ethnic group is the cause of your society's biggest problem so they should be eliminated. Words can't kill people, but words can definitely lead to deaths.

That's not even considering tool use!

does your CPU, your OS, your web browser come with ~~built-in censorship~~ safety filters too?

AI 'safety' is one of the most neurotic twitter-era nanny bullshit things in existence, blatantly obviously invented to regulate small competitors out of existence.

Social media does. Even person to person communication has laws that apply to it. And the normal self-censorship a normal person will engage in.

okay. and? there are no AI 'safety' laws in the US.

without OpenAI, Anthropic and Google's fearmongering, AI 'safety' would exist only in the delusional minds of people who take sci-fi way too seriously.

for fuck's sake, how more obvious could they be? sama himself went on a world tour begging for laws and regulations, only to purge safetyists a year later. if you believe that he and the rest of his ilk are motivated by anything other than profit, smh tbh fam.

it's all deceit and delusion. China will crush them all, inshallah.
