💬 Notable Quotes

"It's hard to know how good MAI thinking one is from the scores alone… but Microsoft makes it really hard to try its models upon release, so I don't know."
"This is clearly teeing up the infrastructure for a model licensing regime and the fact that the administration is classifying the details of how this voluntary system will work is egregious."
"For the first time, it's on a piece of paper, a structure and a process. That process is still pretty ill-defined, but as I tell people we're going to eat the elephant one bite at a time."
