- Praise: Mandatory safety testing for all capable models could ensure a higher standard of safety, which many believe is a reasonable measure.
- Praise: The idea of open-weight models being checked for alignment is a step toward accountability in AI development.
- Concern: Anthropic's push for mandatory safety testing feels like a thinly veiled attempt to restrict open models and stifle competition.
- Concern: The safety eval industry seems rigged, controlled by the very companies that would benefit from limiting access to open models.
- Concern: There's a clear impression that Anthropic is more concerned about protecting their profits than genuinely promoting safe AI practices.
