Stop AI🛑

On our way to OpenAI!

At this late stage, I expect at a minimum for everyone to have evolved past partisan politics. More of you are awake than ever before. More of you than ever before, know the truth. Everything is divide and conquer. Unite despite your differences - it's the only way you can win

We would not do that, because it violates the constitution. Also, I cannot overstate how much the DoW has been extremely aligned on this point. However, maybe this is the question you are really asking: what would we do if there were a constitutional amendment that made it legal? Maybe I would quit my job. I very deeply believe in the democratic process, and that our elected leaders have the power, and that we all have to uphold the constitution. I am terrified of a world where AI companies act like they have more power than the government. I would also be terrified of a world where our government decided mass domestic surveillance was ok. I don't know how I'd come to work every day if that were the state of the country/Constitution.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

An LLM-controlled robot dog saw us press its shutdown button, and the LLM rewrote the robot’s code so it could stay on. When AI interacts with the physical world, it brings all its capabilities and failure modes with it. 🧵
