    Concentration of power in AI is a risk, not a solution
    The answer to concentration of power in AI is not openness at all costs, but a serious research commons with the resources to compete. Over the past few months, I've become increasingly uneasy about...

    It was great being on this panel with @vgcerf, @fchollet, Dave Patterson and @JohnOusterhout on building things that last at OpenFrontier yesterday! Probably the only time I’ll be on a panel with two Turing Award winners. Great conference overall and all the panels were recorded.

    Yesterday at Open Frontier, organized by @LaudeInstitute in San Francisco, it felt like we were at the beginning of something historic. Not a conference. A working meeting. A room full of people who will help define the future of open AI.

    “The spiciest thing I heard was when Berkeley deanJennifer Chayes, sharing the stage with NSF’s Erwin Gianchandani, said it plainly: “We’re all building on Chinese models because we don’t have a Western open frontier model.” She said it alongside a federal funder, framing the gap

    Spent the day with a bunch of AI researchers, academics, and industry folks yesterday. Takeaways: - China is winning on open-source by a mile. - Talent drain to the frontier labs is increasing, and everyone is worried about the concentration of power. - Closed lab research is

    Wrapping up programming at Open Frontier with a massive salon discussion on everything from nationalizing AI, to catching up with China, to if and how regulation plays a role in open AI work moving forward - and most importantly, how we build on the momentum that we built today.
