Was at the WH Correspondents dinner last night, a rare DC trip for me without a subpoena. On the positive side—was exciting, no one was killed, and ended early. I noted a new litmus for status among the gov’t elite—whether you were whisked away by secret service, or left to fend.

What's the most underrated/underhyped AI tool in your stack right now?

@sama Sam, you need to turn this over to someone the World can trust. Building on a foundation of shifting sands that have terrible things buried in them is not going to be sustainable. The more OpenAI grows in capability the more the lack of trust will scale.

This is an important one, I think. AI progress and recommendations: openai.com/index/ai-progr…

Are you feeling the safety yet? Renting your AI from members of a human depopulation movement is probably a bad idea.

@wolflovesmelon What a cult sounds like 👆

Hi, it’s Guido on hunger strike Day 23 outside the offices of Anthropic, going strong. There is a great and profound evil in this place. Each day, I sit and watch at lunch time and dinner time as delivery drivers on scooters and bikes stop at the curb and bring packages of food into the lobby of the unmarked building at 500 Howard street which houses offices the offices of the superintelligence development company Anthropic, ignorant of what is being created beyond the doors of the security desk. It is sickening to know that the same developers these delivery drivers are feeding are knowingly racing towards superhumanly capable general AI systems they have no credible plan to control and which threaten to destroy those same delivery drivers, their children, their families and their entire communities. These developers and the company they work for seem content to be served by these delivery drivers while endangering their lives and families, seem content for this curtain of ignorance to shield them and their comfortable and well-paid careers from the faces and the judgement of those who feed them and whose lives they have unilaterally undertaken on themselves to put at risk with neither consultation nor consent. They feel no need, it appears, to warn these people of danger to their lives which they are preparing, no need to call for an end to this global race they are driving forward which threatens to destroy you and me. How can such human beings ask and receive the dutiful service of another, even receive the very food needed to sustain their life and so casually and cynically and secretly gamble with the destruction of their lives and loved ones? Has the light of humanity and decency burned out in them completely? Have they no shame? Each day for the past 23 days I sit in front of the offices of the extinction-machinery manufacturing company Anthropic and I speak with passers-by from the street who are surprised to learn that the unmarked offices behind me house an AI company whose CEO, Dario Amodei, believes the race he is participating in runs a 1 in 4 risk of destroying their civillization itself. This CEO it seems is content to let this curtain of ignorance intervene between himself and his work and the people on the street who do not know he is recklessly and knowingly gambling with their lives- the lives of his very neighbors and his nation. He apparently feels no responsibility to call for immediate and effective government action to end this global race of which he is one of the principle architects and beneficiaries, no duty to ensure his country understands the urgent and grave danger it is in. Every day I wake up in a world in which Anthropic manufactures and re-manufactures the lie by which society is prevented from gaining the understanding necessary for responding appropriately to the danger that they have imposed on it- the lie that the race to superintelligence can be done “safely” or “responsibly.” The lie that everything is normal -that there is no emergency- a lie reinforced by each of Anthropic’s banally disarming subway ads and airport billboards. A lie reinforced by the blank silence of their unmarked offices, a lie that is amplified to deafening proportions by the public silence of their employees- those who know the incredible danger this race poses to the existence of all of us and who have chosen thus far to betray their transcendant responsibility to humanity to do everything in their power to ensure that we are alerted to the danger and enabled to to respond to end it. Every day I wake up in a world in which the future of every child and every mother is clouded by the shadow of death raised by Anthropic and its competitors racing to ever more dangerous systems, a race which neither Anthropic nor any of the others have made any attempt to stop, and for which they all bear collective responsibility. There is a deep betrayal here. There is a turning away from the most fundamental obligations of community. There is a severing of the bonds of our common humanity. There is a wounding of the conscience and the soul. There is a dark crime against the children of this world, against generations yet unborn. I beg you who are reading this- do not remain silent in the face of this evil. Do not join in complicity in this crime by your inaction. Each person who understands the immense danger this project poses to everyone we love must choose- we cannot escape this choice- either to fulfill our responsibility to our loved ones to end this danger, or to betray our our responsibility, and with it them as well, and ourselves. I pray you are granted the strength and the grace to fulfill it

I know it sounds bad that the unemployment rate for 16-24-year-olds is more than 10% but it's...normal The average since 1948 is 11.6% x.com/NewsWire_US/st…

1/ @Stripe just pulled back the curtain on @tempo, its corporate blockchain, and the pitch is a classic. You get an all-star team, state-of-the-art tech, an impressive roster of partners—including one of the card networks the whole thing is designed to replace—and "neutrality."

This pastor is telling parents to leave California if AB 495 passes. The bill is so crazy, even I didn’t believe the 1st reports. Here’s the shocking details every parent should be concerned about. A non-parent adult (such as a friend, teacher, mentor, neighbor, or coach) can self-declare they have a "family-like or mentoring relationship" with the child or child’s family. That person can then sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury stating the child lives with them and they are acting as the caregiver. The affidavit does not require a parent’s signature or court approval. It grants that person legal authority to: Enroll the child in school Consent to medical, dental, and mental health treatment Providers (schools, doctors, etc.) who rely on the affidavit are protected from liability, even if the parent later objects — unless the provider had actual knowledge the affidavit was invalid. x.com/WallStreetApes…

The root of Communism is always jealousy.

@burntheretro @GaryMarcus @sama They are clearly poorly informed, he continues to be wrong and also seems to just have an axe to grind because of the dead end research he worked on.

@vitrupo It helps with the ladies to tell them you are building dangerous weapons.

Demis Hassabis looks to history to steer the future. Oppenheimer and von Neumann warned of technologies that outpaced our ability to govern them. Now he's calling for new institutions: > A new kind of CERN > An IAEA for AI - to monitor rogue development > A “technical UN” - a wise council that represents the world

@ZohranKMamdani Communist. Never works, just leads to destruction and death.

The SF parties I attend now are a whole level of exclusive. They don't just admit every Tom, Dick and Stanley. You have to be a billionaire, or a political powerbroker, or on the bleeding edge of AI research, or a woman.

@eshear Didn’t you let Sam back in?

Please stop making superhuman optimizing problem solvers constrained only by avoiding getting caught. Seriously, stop. The problem solving isn’t the problem, the adversarial control system is. There is another way: grow an AI that knows itself as part of our world.

@svpino @KindoAI

What's the best AI orchestration tool out there? If you had to start a project from scratch, which one would you use?

@ARGleave Nothing concerning about these results except that an authoritarian is trying to convince people there is.

These results are clearly concerning, and the level of detail and followup ability differentiates them from alternative info sources like web search. They also pass sanity checks of dangerous validity such as checking information against cited sources.

My colleague @irobotmckenzie spent six hours red-teaming Claude 4 Opus, and easily bypassed safeguards designed to block WMD development. Claude gave >15 pages of non-redundant instructions for sarin gas, describing all key steps in the manufacturing process.
