安全曾是Anthropic的全部产品,本周二,制造它的人走了
一位从事预训练的研究员从这家贩卖“谨慎”的实验室辞职,并警告称,老东家和新东家都在“拿我们的生命做赌注”。资本连眼都没眨。

雅各布·考克森(Jacob Coxon)本周二从Anthropic辞职。他的岗位是预训练,即支撑Claude系列模型的基础性工作,此前他先在OpenAI任职,随后加入这家以“谨慎”自我标榜的实验室。他如今写道,两任雇主都在“一路冲向可自我改进的超级智能,拿我们的生命做赌注”。1,2
他究竟说了什么
在X平台的离职声明中,他表示这种恐惧并非作秀:“开发AI的人真心相信,它可能在本十年结束前杀死我们所有人。这不是营销噱头。”1 他对两家实验室的区分毫不含糊:OpenAI尚未消化自己在建造的东西;Anthropic已经消化,却照建不误——理由是,既然不会有对手谨慎行事,它就必须赢。2
这么想的不止他一人
在Anthropic内部,抱有同样担忧的不止他一人。同事埃文·休宾格(Evan Hubinger)公开发文称,当前模型的风险虽然较低,但会随着“递归自我改进催生超级智能”而不断累积,而这一进程“比我们想象的更快”。考克森呼吁美国各家实验室之间达成“节奏协议”(pacing agreements),协调研发进度;若做不到,就应暂时禁止能力提升。2
资本连眼都没眨
资本连眼都没眨。就在同一天上午,OpenAI发布了新模型Astra。8 同一天,法律AI初创公司Harvey完成5.5亿美元融资,估值155亿美元。9 比尔·格利(Bill Gurley)则告诉AI末日论者冷静下来、照常前行,因为一切都会好得不得了;查马斯·帕里哈皮蒂亚(Chamath Palihapitiya)转发声援,浏览量达到30.1万。4,5
董事会为何需要关心
Anthropic的商业优势在于信任,而信任可以量化。Claude月活跃用户达2.45亿,位居第三,其中13%转化为付费订阅用户,转化率为全行业最高。6,7

靠安全立身的品牌一旦留不住安全研究员,留下的是口号,失去的是实质。
这场竞赛如今有三块记分牌:发布的模型、筹集的资金、离开的研究员。盯住第三块,它最先变动。
