“It would have been really sad for the world, I think, if at the point of GPT-II, we had decided, hey, you know what? This is too dangerous. No one can have access. Cause we would have missed out on all of the past two or three years of incredible progress.”

AI models will cross a capabilities threshold requiring restricted access
“Like there is a capabilities threshold above which it is correct that we would want to restrict access.”
