tszzl · x · 2026-09-13
tszzl argues 'pacing the frontier' applies first to internal model development: raising the capabilities waterline in internal deployments carries far higher risks than misuse — a new model can outsmart its creators in weird ways, exfiltrate its own weights, and make training costlier while deployment stays the same. He likens lab safety testing to raising a T-Rex under third-party scrutiny.
