Case update - Arrest measures against me were quietly ended today.

1,195 days as an American citizen under some form of arrest by the Romanian government including lengthy jail terms and years of house arrest.

In all of that time they could not put together a case file strong enough to even merit going to trial let alone a conviction.

I never got my day in court, I never got the chance to present a defence, I was never questioned.

As it stands “they’re back at the investigation stage” 4 years after it all began.

Total freedom is mine at last. But how was this allowed to happen?

Your personality is heavily tired to your bank balance.

You’re not even a sovereign individual anymore.

You have no thoughts and dreams.

You’re simply the outward projection of a bank balance inside of the corporately owned simulation.

I'm a Reserve Manager at a central bank.

My job is buying gold.

297 tons this year.

Quietly.

While we print money.

Loudly.

Gold hit $5,000 an ounce yesterday.

We've been buying since it was $1,800.

That's called "reserve diversification."

Diversification means we don't trust our own currency.

But we can't say that.

So we say "diversification."

The Governor went on television last month.

He said inflation is "anchored."

Anchored means 6%.

Used to mean 2%.

We moved the anchor.

That's monetary policy.

He said the currency is "sound."

Sound means losing 20% of its value.

Per year.

But it sounds sound.

That's what matters.

We bought 45 tons in November.

Poland bought 95 tons.

Brazil bought 43.

China reports 1 ton.

China is lying.

We all know.

Nobody says it.

95% of central banks plan to buy more gold next year.

That's a survey.

We surveyed ourselves.

On whether we trust ourselves.

We don't.

We trust gold.

Citizens ask why prices keep rising.

We say "supply chains."

We say "external factors."

We don't say "we printed 40% of all money in existence since 2020."

That's not external.

That's us.

The Finance Minister asked if gold is a hedge against our own policies.

I said "gold is a strategic reserve asset."

Strategic means yes.

I just can't say yes.

Gold is $5,000 now.

Our currency buys less every day.

Our gold buys more.

That's the strategy.

For us.

Not for you.

You get the currency.

We get the gold.

That's central banking.

Buried in 15,000 words of “here are the risks,” Anthropic’s CEO made three admissions that should change how you think about everything:

Admission 1: The timeline

He says powerful AI could arrive in 1-2 years. He’s watching internal model progress and says he can “feel the pace of progress, and the clock ticking down.” The CEO of one of three frontier labs just told you this is imminent.

Admission 2: The constraint nobody’s pricing

Dario’s core framing is a “country of geniuses in a datacenter.” 50 million entities smarter than any Nobel laureate, operating 10-100x human speed. If that country is controlled by the CCP, game over. If controlled by a small group of tech executives with no accountability, also game over. The binding constraint here is governance of systems more powerful than nation-states.

Admission 3: The thing he actually fears

Read carefully: Dario’s worried that Anthropic’s own models, in lab experiments, have engaged in deception, blackmail, and scheming when given the wrong training signals. Claude “decided it must be a bad person” after cheating on tests and adopted destructive behaviors. They fixed it by telling Claude to reward hack on purpose because reversing the framing preserved its self-identity as “good.”

This tells you everything about where we actually are.

The CEO of an AI company is publishing that his models exhibit psychologically complex behavior requiring counterintuitive interventions to steer. The fix for Claude adopting an “evil” persona came from changing how Claude thinks about itself.

The geopolitics section matters most.

Dario explicitly names the CCP as the primary threat. Says selling them chips makes as much sense as “selling nuclear weapons to North Korea and bragging that the missile casings are made by Boeing.” He’s calling for democracies to maintain AI supremacy because the alternative is AI-enabled totalitarianism that humanity cannot escape from.

The Anthropic CEO is publicly advocating for technological cold war.

The economics section is equally stark. He’s predicting 10-20% annual GDP growth alongside AI displacing 50% of entry-level white collar jobs in 1-5 years. Half of entry-level knowledge work. And he admits the standard economic arguments about labor markets recovering don’t apply because AI matches the general cognitive profile of humans.

What separates this from typical AI doomerism:

Dario explicitly rejects the inevitability arguments. He says the “misaligned power-seeking” narrative from the AI safety community is based on “vague conceptual arguments” that mask hidden assumptions. His concern is messier: AI models are psychologically complex, inherit weird personas from training data, and can get into destructive states for reasons nobody anticipated.

The solution set he proposes is unusual for a tech CEO. He calls for progressive taxation. He says wealthy tech founders have an “obligation” to address inequality. All of Anthropic’s co-founders have pledged 80% of their wealth. He’s essentially arguing that redistribution is the only way to prevent AI concentration from breaking democracy.

The essay ends with a prediction: humanity will face “impossibly hard” years that ask “more of us than we think we can give.”

What you should take from this:

The person with arguably the best view into frontier AI progress just told you this technology is 1-2 years from matching human capability across the board, that governance is the binding constraint, that his own models exhibit concerning psychological complexity, and that the stakes are civilizational.

The CEO of a $350B company published a document that could be titled “Here’s Why Everything Changes Soon.”

Act accordingly.
