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.
I like you guys and I think you do good research. Please be more careful next time.
For sure!
100% agree more transparency was needed around the threat model, and "trust us" is not a winning perspective.
Will also reiterate that we did say we were not sure it was the right decision, but there is an important asymmetry here as Amanda points out, and I'm glad the conversation is happening now vs. later:https://twitter.com/AmandaAskell/status/1097366100025589760 …
The main threat model is greatly scaled up disinformation campaigns.
Are state-sponsored APTs (advanced persistent threats) just going to give up because the whole model wasn't provided? Will this really make a difference 12 months from now? Who's to say they don't already have even better corpora they can use?
One difficulty is that the point at which you should switch to a partial release is likely to be a point of incremental improvement (if progress is fairly continuous) but it's hard to make that switch without implying that your model is different in kind from what's come before.
Very few people I talked to had any issues with not releasing the trained model, per se. It's the way this was handled, the ridiculous hype, and the negative impact on public perception that resulted from it, that are making everyone shake their head in disappointment.
