When you say fear-mongering, do you mean reaching out to journalists in advance of publication, something wrong with the framing of the result in the blog post, or something wrong with the discussion of risks, all of the above, something else, etc.?
SotA LMs get published on a regular basis (with or w/o the model). Why did this one need an all-out PR assault? Whether releasing some models raises security issues is a legitimate debate (tho this model prolly doesn't). Is Bloomberg or the Guardian the right place to have it?
How is it not misrepresentation to take best-of-25 samples from cherrypicked prompts and tell the public, "the AI wrote this, this is what AI does now"? BTW I have a trading algo that does 12,000% per year* (*evaluated with best-of-25 daily trades)
How is it not needless fear mongering and hype to tell the journalists, "we'll keep the AI secret because releasing it would be too dangerous, trust us", when the actual model is an incrementally better LM? Where's the threat model? Etc. It's layer after layer of issues.
All good points. I think going forward we will be more transparent/proactive in our outreach to the rest of the AI community on this, and weight that more. At the time, it seemed like we had a few objectives to satisfy, inc. raising awareness of this broader class of systems...
...for which a wider set of stakeholders is needed than the AI community (a point made in the report on malicious uses of AI last year), though it does seem like we maybe got the balance/ordering wrong, and didn't articulate the GPT-2 vs GPT-2+/LMs distinction as well as possible
@jeremyphoward has a good discussion about this if you haven’t seen ithttps://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1097234160337412096?s=21 …
It's a good place to raise awareness, to ensure that discussion involves a broader community, and to ensure that people are aware what the technology is capable of
