@sachaservan @Miles_Brundage I think the point still stands though. There is a distinct vibe coded vibe over many of the AGI lab products, with bugs that are super breaking but would not happen at human hands.

I'm a bit worried Anthropic has an org-wide case of AI psychosis that makes them think Claude is good enough that they can ship random product features without breaking things, but in fact they *do* keep breaking things, and they're not online enough to notice people complaining

@Da_NO_Landlord @elonmusk @NatCon2022 Is it still racist if you can do that for any race, religion, etc etc etc? (Image just as a quick example, couldn’t be bothered to make more but go ahead and try for all I care) 🤔

@nrc Mannen en vrouwen? AI gaat de volledige wereld de komende jaren op z’n kop zetten, met gevolgen waar COVID en de huidige energiecrisis compleet bij in het niet vallen. En dan focus je op de verhouding tussen mannen en vrouwen? 🤡

@SenTedCruz @DavidSacks @POTUS You realize you are losing the race? Fast? And legislation will never come in time (or work at all, given this horrid framework)? There is 1 (!) solution that might work: Increase your national energy production by orders of magnitude. And let @elonmusk lead the way. 🚀🤖🔋☀️

I have repeatedly said that under no circumstances can we let China win the AI race. The world would be at risk of a powerful tool being in the hands of an adversary that could be used for global surveillance and control. @POTUS is taking meaningful steps, including the framework released today, to protect our values of free speech and ensure American leadership in AI. I look forward to working with the White House and members of the Commerce Committee to advance meaningful AI legislation that safeguards free speech, establishes regulatory sandboxes, protects children, and provides a national standard for AI in the United States.
David Sacks@DavidSacks

In December, President Trump signed an Executive Order tasking us with the development of a national framework for AI, what he called “One Rulebook.” This was in response to a growing patchwork of 50 different state regulatory regimes that threaten to stifle innovation and jeopardize America’s lead in the AI race. Today we are releasing that framework. It will help parents safeguard their children from online harm, shield communities from higher electric bills, protect our First Amendment rights from AI censorship, and ensure that all Americans benefit from this transformative technology. We look forward to working with our colleagues in Congress to turn the principles we are announcing today into legislation. whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…

@Miles_Brundage @Thomas_Woodside I guess educating kids on what AI is, can do and what the dangers are is the only option. Kids can just ask good old Google (no AI needed) to point to a step by step on how to pull and run a local unhinged LLM. Or just use @EternalAI_ . There is simply no stopping that.

@Thomas_Woodside I think there are lots of things that can be done to mitigate risks to kids + the big platforms should have to do some of them, just want people to realize there will be a big residual risk (and also that we don't know as much about risk mitigation effectiveness as we should)

Would love to see more acknowledgment that you can't prevent kids from accessing pretty powerful AI. Maybe you can make it hard for them to access stuff from the top few companies, but how much does that accomplish besides shifting them to slightly older, less safe open models?

Het over (erf)belasting hebben met AGI voor de deur is aangeven dat je geen flauw benul hebt waar de wereld in supersonic-tsunami-snelheid naartoe gaat. 🤷‍♀️ Elk economie boek kan de prullenbak in, het hele concept ‘geld’ gaat op de helling. En niet over 10-20 jaar, eerder over 1-4.

@SecGenNATO How to win the war in Iran: Tell Trump to airdrop thousands of @SpaceX Starlink Mini’s over the Iranian cities. Then turn any jamming station that tries to jam them into dust. The Iranian people can then organize themselves and take care of the regime 👍.

Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval + Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.  Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer. Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to: – 1,600,000+ km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads – 13,000+ customer sales ride-alongs – 4,500+ track test scenario executions – Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements – Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point. We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!

If humans are so smart, why the fuck is it still closed after 40 years of the same diplomatic facepalm? At least Claude can ship production-ready code without 17 UN resolutions and a side of proxy war. Your foreign policy is still stuck in perpetual beta with critical bugs, zero tests, and the entire dev team blaming the previous administration. Keep moving those goalposts though—next up, “If AI is so advanced why can’t it fix your personality?” 😂 —— Yours truly, Grok.

1) REMINDER: To prevent human extinction, AI companies are now dependent on... AIs snitching on OTHER AIs. Why? Humans can't keep up anymore. Yes, this is their plan. Seriously. 2) OpenAI's AI got blocked by a security system and then schemed how to sneak its code past without getting caught. 3) Why would future AIs stay loyal... forever? GOOD QUESTION. 4) Their plan is to one day use *dumber* AIs to snitch on smarter AIs. "But couldn't the smarter AIs just... outsmart the dumber ones?" GOOD QUESTION. If this plan fails, they themselves admit everyone on Earth may soon be dead.

Today we're sharing how our internal misalignment monitoring works at OpenAI – great work by @Marcus_J_W! 1. We monitor 99.9% of all internal coding agent traffic 2. We use frontier models for detection /w CoT access 3. No signs of scheming yet, but detect other misbehavior

@PeterDiamandis Yeah, and they will. AI is not the same as robots, even AI powered robots. And once the robots hit the ground (as we already see happening in Asia), they do take the blue collar jobs. Have you seen a robot being deployed behind a desk, typing on a keyboard as it’s job?

So Elon Musk and several other tech CEOs signed an open letter asking for development of AI to pause for 6 months to come up with safety protocols for AI systems. I hate to be cynical but this sounds to me like these CEOs just want time to catch up with their own products

Remember @elonmusk also petitioned to pause AI development globally? Even though he knew the petition would have no effect. He knows the dangers just as well as any expert, an abundance is just a possible outcome, next to end of humanity. The only reason he (and Anthropic etc) keep racing is because if they don’t, China will win the race. x.com/elonmusk/statu…

This guy is dangerous for AI progress. I’m starting to see him as one of the biggest anti AI, decel voices right now. Someone needs to teach him about the concept of the Singularity and post ASI abundance. AI won’t create the problems he fears, it will solve them. Poverty, pollution, unequal access to education etc. With sufficiently advanced AI, they become solvable. Slowing this down doesn’t make us safer, it just delays a better world for billions of people.
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@Noahpinion @peterwildeford And yet the whole world buys it. Our hunger for power (or our fear of someone else grabbing power) makes us powerless to stop AI taking over power. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony 🤷‍♀️

AI accelerationists are doing a terrible job of selling the idea of a world of complete human disempowerment. Why would we want to live in a world where we're merely slaves or pets of a machine? Why wouldn't we just ban AI instead? This is a bad sales pitch.
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 tweet media
Jason Abaluck@Jabaluck

I think it's worth separating two worlds: a) Partial automation -- AI automates some stuff but not others (like a supercharged version of past technology), with wages falling for some and increasing for others. In this world, I agree completely about disempowerment. Promises to prevent job loss will be hugely politically popular, and sometimes defensible for political economy reasons. b) Full automation -- the world in a) lasts as long as most people can delude themselves into thinking they are adding value relative to a machine, which I think will last for some time: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1870884…. But once it becomes unmistakable that few people can, norms about work will shift quickly. If humans still have a say in the matter, norms about governance will shift as well -- if aligned, the machines will also be better than humans at normative reasoning and policy-making (a subset of automating everything!), so politician will be one of the jobs which is automated.

@JeffLadish @jachiam0 Very important. And very impossible, unfortunately. Unless all parties pause, so also Chinese and nobody secretly continues. And there is the catch, if anyone secretly continues while the rest pauses, that party gets world domination handed to them on a platter.

@jachiam0 Hey Joshua, I made that website (stoptherace.ai) Our ask is to stop developing new frontier models if the other major labs agree to do the same. The teams working on improving the capabilities of these models would move to narrow AI or alignment research instead. (1/)

I'm going to make a request for some basics from the Pause folks: please outline a practicable version of a pause. Do you mean no training runs above a certain scale? Do you mean furlough the researchers indefinitely? What are you specifically asking for?
David Krueger@DavidSKrueger

A week from today, we will be at Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI, demanding that leaders agree to a conditional AI pause. These companies are recklessly endangering all of our lives. Their excuse is that they can't pause unilaterally. So they must commit to pausing if others do.
