Anything but releasing 6.2 models 😭
My patience is running so thin at this point.
Guys none of the labs are gonna release any models generally if they can't nail alignment on them. It would be a colossal own goal, shooting themselves in the face with a shotgun, if they released a model that some rando then used to seriously fuck something large scale up. Yeah, you and your boys just want cool apps, but there is that 0.001% that spend all day trying to figure out how to get the model to create chaos in society because it would be funny.
