alt Hacker NewsIt's so refreshing to see DeepSeek's tech report[1] full of juicy details; meanwhile, something like Fable's system card[2] is like 70% "safety", 10% "model welfare" to make sure little Claude isn't distressed, and 20% benchmark numbers.

> welfare
We should be paying attention to it just in case it ends up mattering enormously. It's cheap insurance.
Aside from that, US labs' system cards have been pretty useless for a while—I think the last great one was the combined system card for Claude 4 Sonnet and Opus.
Yes, a model's technical report should first and foremost include technical details.
…are you sure a brave stance against safety and welfare is what we need in this moment?
Why do you think your conception of the dangers are more accurate than all the scientists who have spent their lives studying this?
I was talking with a friend from the medical industry about it today. 30-50% of r&d spend in his sector is spent on safety, and for good reason. Proper trials, safety reviews and checkpoints and so on. Given the potential harm that could come from AI, we should probably be mandating something similar. Why wait to focus on safety until it’s too late.
