This apocalyptic warning is repeated over and over by people at the heart of the AI rush- owners, founders, developers. Governments interfere in areas of our lives they do not belong, but there are risks that ONLY governments - working together- can tackle, and this is right up

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.

Antisemitism is essentially a religion – albeit a very dark one. It has its invisible power, its articles of faith and its devil. Whatever the grievance, no matter how tenuous or implausible, ‘the Zionists’ invariably did it. There’s no requirement for evidence, and any and all

Why should there be a state only for one religion ?? That’s apartheid. Go live like everybody else does in modern society.

Very powerful and timely intervention by Hank Paulson and Robert Rubin, both US treasury secretaries from 2006 to 2009 and 1995 to 1999 respectively. A warning about the immense risks associated with AI - and a path forward I pray our leaders pay attention 🙏
