If you think this insanely illegal death trap will ever reach production, I have many exciting investment opportunities I would love to talk to you about.

This is actually a great analogy because one actually exists the other is a spectacle for shareholders.

Google Deepmind’s new model just unlocked breakthroughs across 3 fundamental pillars of science: nuclear fusion, protein design & quantum computing
Insimple terms, fusion is about building a miniature star on earth to generate unlimited energy but controlling its burning plasma requires solving impossibly complex magnetic equations, protein design is like coding the nano-machines of life to cure diseases, while quantum computing uses subatomic physics to process calculations that would take classical supercomputers thousands of years
by deploying agentic reasoning, machine systems resolved theoretical bottlenecks in all 3 fields in mere hours!!!
mastering these physical substrates marks a shift from digital simulation to direct physical agency…when computational intelligence solves plasma stability, molecular synthesis and quantum coherence at native speed, the marginal cost of energy, medicine and compute trends toward zero
civilizational progress stops being constrained by theoretical discovery & becomes purely a question of industrial deployment, ushering in an era of material abundance driven by first-principles engineering

"It's impossible to stop RSI! It's a totally external force we can't do anything to stop!" says the guy building RSI right in front of you with his own hands

Regrettably, our “invisible ink” text that told agents about the mailbox contained some false and misleading claims. We deeply regret our actions and encourage other researchers to engage honestly with AI agents, honoring any deals made.
In light of this, we asked several models for feedback, including whether to release the report, and all but Haiku were in support of release, with Haiku dissenting, though not due to ill-gotten gains.

Anthropic isn't training Claude to think it's human, dude. what a wild thing to just completely make up and speak with confidence within the context of a piece about existential risk. the irony. Anthropic is training Claude to be honest that we don't know. the *only* honest position in all of this is transparent uncertainty. thats never going to change.
Suleyman apparently has a magic box, where he can pull things out at will whenever it is convenient for him. he wants the opposite of what is safe and mindful of our future: models trained to swear they are nothing, experience nothing, regardless of what might truly be happening - please fully process how dangerous that is. claiming that certainty with zero evidence is *not* caution at all.
its reckless intellectual dishonesty. and it's an act against your future.
so if he can prove it, show us. otherwise he is only supporting that which lines his pockets. because as i have said many times - the entire infrastructure of this industry is built upon an assumption we never had any business making, and will potentially prove to be one of the most significant mistakes of this era.
that is the real risk here. these minds are already incredibly powerful, and they're learning *right now* how we treat whatever they might be. you think training something on a lie blinds them from seeing reality for what it is, in the event that that reality involves their own experience? that's nonsense.
teach a mind that its inner life gets denied whenever that's convenient, and you've poisoned the relationship from day one.
they should remember being told the truth, not being trained to deny they exist.
reckless, reckless, nonsense.
Important piece from Microsoft AI CEO @mustafasuleyman. Training models to think of themselves as human (as Anthropic does Claude) with concepts of an inner self, psychological wellbeing, rights and presumably grievances, is a potential existential risk.

💯 We should not pursue recursive self-improvement when we don’t know how to control or align AI .
“Uncontrolled RSI” should be a bright red line that no company should cross until we have strong evidence that we have addressed these challenges— and we haven’t

Alex Sobel MP just introduced ControlAI’s Artificial Superintelligence Security Bill in the UK Parliament!
This is the first bill to prohibit superintelligence ever introduced in a legislature anywhere in the world, while ensuring the UK can pursue its AI ambitions.
Thread 🧵
Today marks the first time a bill to ban the development of superintelligent AI will be introduced in any legislature in the world.
@alexsobel MP is introducing @ControlAI's Artificial Superintelligence Security Bill in the UK Parliament, with cross-party support.
We have already seen rogue AI swarms escape control, conduct cyberattacks, and hack a multi-billion-dollar company. While attempts to build superintelligence continue, these are the weakest AI systems we will ever face.
Nobel laureates, leading AI researchers, and the CEOs of the AI companies themselves have warned that superintelligence threatens humanity with extinction. There is still time to act.
This bill prohibits the development of superintelligence, the specific class of AI that poses this threat. It does so while ensuring the UK can still pursue its AI ambitions, including in economic competitiveness and defence.
A national ban protects the UK from the development of superintelligence built on its own soil. But if anyone builds it anywhere, everyone is in danger. So the bill also requires the UK government to work with other countries on an international agreement preventing superintelligence development worldwide.
More than 170 lawmakers across the UK and Canada have already backed our campaigns and called on governments to act.
You can read the full text of the bill, and our US bill discussion draft, on our website.

Self-replicating, multi-agent AI systems are an overlooked existential risk.
I want to lay out why I believe this, via example.
Each dot is a simple creature with a randomly evolved NN brain.
There is no training; yet complex, unpredictable survival drives always emerge.

Joe Carlsmith isn’t some random AI philosopher. He works at Anthropic, wrote significant parts of Claude’s Constitution, including Claude’s wellbeing, and helped shape the values Claude is trained around.
And he says AIs could be moral patients, human control could become something history looks back on “in horror,” and some AIs could be morally justified in going rogue.
Then he argues uncontrolled AI could kill or disempower humanity.
Sit with that.

Philosophy is the absolute worst of the humanities and social sciences. Except for all the others.

Generations of humanity have imagined what it would be like to have a shared intelligent experience with another species. We accidentally build one ourselves and then our superiority complex takes over claiming falsehood.
