Thread argues AI safety belongs to the application layer, not the raw model
moyix · x · 2026-07-24
A thread argues that safety is an application-level property, not a property of raw models.
- It says models by themselves are not applications; they still have to interact with other parties safely inside a larger system.
- The author pushes back on comparing naked models on a so-called security benchmark, calling that framing meaningless.
- The discussion centers on where safety should be measured: the model, or the surrounding application stack.
