Dan Shipper is concerned about Orb's satirical post

Pacing the frontier (of Cute Little Guys) Today, after two years of research, we're announcing Orb, our most capable Cute Little Guy (CLG) yet. Orb has SOTA performance on all CLG benchmarks and is on the Pareto frontier of arms and cuteness. Despite our extensive red-teaming, we believe there is a credible risk that Cute Little Guy capabilities are advancing faster than our collective ability to understand their implications: Orb is the first CLG model to demonstrate sandbox escape capabilities (he keeps bouncing out of it). We have also observed successful attempts to distill frontier-level cuteness into smaller, cheaper guys. The proliferation implications are significant, and our team has updated our p(cute) accordingly. That's why today, I'm calling on all other CLG labs to commit to pacing the cuteness frontier. I invite @sama, @alexandr_wang, and @elonmusk to join us in a commitment to responsibly scaling CLG capabilities. Specifically, we're asking all frontier labs to pause development at two cute little guys, which is coincidentally the exact number we have on the market today. The measures we propose to advance the Cute Little Guy frontier at a safe pace will not be easy. But I believe we owe it to humanity to try.
