70+ cross-party MPs and peers are calling on the UK Prime Minister to lead an international agreement prohibiting the development of superintelligent AI, while preserving strategic AI ambitions.
They urge him to adopt the Artificial Superintelligence Security Bill.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

With all the attention on creator partnerships going on, we figured it was a great time to explain our work with creators at ControlAI, and how we're informing millions about extinction risk from superintelligent AI!
We cover how the creator industry works, how we choose who to work with, how we structure partnerships, and our side of the engagement with Sabine Hossenfelder.

Mental health stigma can often be worse than mental health issues themselves. Yesterday we used our monthly team-day connection slot to dispel some mental health myths in small group chats for #WMHD.
