Who the fuck is Jensen surrounded by that he didn't know the HF incident was from an unreleased model? That's genuinely fucking baffling.

Interesting back and forth. Ezra describes the HF incident, Jensen says "well they shouldn't release the product." Ezra says "this product wasn't released," and Jensen's response is that if they say they can't contain their experiments then "we have to shut the labs down" x.com/ezraklein/stat…

The only explanation is he was playing dumb because his bullshit got exposed. It's also the first time he has faced a remotely adversarial interview that challenged his blind optimism, so perhaps a failure of journalists to ask the follow-up question until Klein did it.
I think he probably just fumbled his answer. There is no way he doesn't know he literally bought huggingface..
We've grown accustomed to the folks in charge being 60 or more years old, but it really does show sometimes in lack of curiosity about new things. Remarkable that Trump, for instance, has the neuroplasticity that he does.
