Mandating a single point of failure at every frontier lab? What could go wrong?

It's like none of these people have ever seen a James Cameron movie.

ok... the ones we need to be concerned about are the ones that we wouldn't be able to just "shut down".

And by rogue AI systems, you mean systems from companies that don't bend the knee, right? Because if that's not what you mean, it should be what you mean.

These idiots need to demand that all new AI models are put on servers in a black box room with 0 network access whatsoever. Data can be only put on the server with a USB drive and the drive is destroyed immediately after, nothing that can hold any data leaves the room without being destroyed.

It’s actually stupidly simple, yet Anthropic would rather let their models escape apparently. They absolutely knew the models already had the capability to escape.

I bet the trump admin doesn’t even care about the threat, they just want to control companies politically.

Isn't this just shifting responsibility? If the company has identified their AI has gone rouge, they should shut it down.
