Yeah, the genie may be out of the bottle now. I wish we weren't in this situation and cooler heads had prevailed earlier on.
I have serious concerns about how quickly this is accelerating and don't trust any of the major players (including Anthropic) to handle these concerns properly.
China is 6 months behind because of distillation attacks, otherwise the gap would be larger
