As someone who works professionally in AI, let me just say a few things: 1) I, much moreso than most everyone else, am hyperaware of just how dangerous these models can be. In fact, I'm giving a presentation on exactly that to a federal entity in a few weeks. 2) I have a 40+ year career in cybersecurity, doing such since long before there was such a term. Hell, I was doing it before firewalls existed. 3) As much as I loathe and despise the frontier model companies (so much so, my family has several pending individual -- not class-action -- lawsuits against a few of them), I recognize this as an international arms race. As such, "punishing" tech firms, particularly AI firms, is so shortsighted as to be suicidal. I can tell you with certitude that human defenders absolutely cannot keep pace with this new era of AI-assisted, or full AI exploitation of assets. If we pause AI development in this country, it's a crapshoot which will destroy this country first, a hostile foreign power, or the foreigners who're busy destroying this country from within.
