评论员称 OpenAI 2019 年暂缓发布 GPT-2-XL 属于过度安全主义

Why we picked it

有人复盘 OpenAI 当年扣着 GPT-2-XL 不发的老账了,理由是模型其实只会发垃圾信息,可以看看这波争议。

评论员 tszzl 在 X 上重提 OpenAI 2019 年分阶段发布 GPT-2-XL 的决定,认为这一选择属于安全主义过度。他指出该模型当时并不构成实际危险,连 OpenAI 援引的威胁也主要集中在垃圾信息滥用层面。这条推文将发布决策的是非与当事人是否相信 AGI 划分开来讨论。

seems reasonable to call the decision to not release GPT-2-XL safetyist slop separate from whether it made you an AGI-believer-elect or not in 2019. It was obviously true that the model wasn’t dangerous in any way; even the threats cited at the time were about spam
