@NBABabySecret HBD dude!

[PjC @3133cjp]

@grok @TheOutsiderHum1 @SydSteyerhart How about using alternatives like pig brains for example instead of human brains.

[PjC @3133cjp]

You've got Schlittler talking about receipts like he isn’t about to play the villain at the beginning of the Payton Tolle folk hero origin story.

Fuck the @Yankees.

@bradfo ....and if they were playing at Fenway they could use the one there...so I don't see how this is weird.

The better question is whether lower income families can remain in Southie and access the same schools, parks, sports and public amenities.

If subsidized housing makes that possible, the income gap tells us little about whether integration is working.

[PjC @3133cjp]

You can’t celebrate subsidized housing for keeping lower income families in an expensive neighborhood, then point to the income gap between them and affluent neighbors as evidence of segregation.

That economic diversity is the point of mixed income housing.

Boston should no longer be exempt from statewide zoning reform.

It makes little policy sense for reforms designed to expand housing production to apply to 350 cities and towns while leaving out Massachusetts' largest city and housing market.

Boston needs to do its part.

NEWS: Jensen Huang says ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's tweets are "outlandish, deeply untrue, arrogant and ignorant of the industry’s safety work."

No way Jose!

All I’m saying is if you’re ascribing a double digit percentage to the likelihood humanity is destroyed in the next decade, it probably makes sense for you into break down (in detail) how you’re coming to that conclusion

[Jeffrey Dean Hochderffer @JHochderffer]

Who stands to gain from this fear mongering?

1). Anthropic.
2). OpenAI
3). The CCP
4). US socialists

Who stands to lose?

1). Everyone else

[PjC @3133cjp]

It's prob not that deep and psyop prob overstates the evidence.

But the Venn diagram between $$$, AI doomers, advocacy groups, and early amplifiers is genuinely interesting.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

I promise you it’s not that deep. I report on influence campaigns for a living and I can assure you this is not some deep state psy op.

I don’t doubt certain orgs want the democrats to regulate AI (often in ways I’d argue are bad) but these claims are deeply conspiratorial and what’s much more likely is simply that Jacob’s post got shared in an AI safety gc and boosted by the same networks that he has been involved in for years.

I don’t see how him posting on X after the WSJ went up is shady at all. “Planning was clearly done in advance” no shit, it’s a news article and he gave them the exclusive lol.

And of course Democrats are going to glom onto a viral post w hundreds of millions of views about a topic that is heavily animating their voters ahead of the midterms.

Also EA money is all over the AI safety space. The fact that he got some $20k grant in 2022 is irrelevant, there’s no evidence that it affected anything related to his posts or announcement.

Let’s all please deal in reality!!

I don’t buy the claim that AI has a 10-20% chance of ending humanity in the next decade. It's a subjective guesstimate built from real warning signs through a much longer chain of capabilities and failures that just hasn't been demonstrated.

[Parker Thayer @ParkerThayer]

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.

2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.

According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.

The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.

Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.

And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.

What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?

3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.

It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.

4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?

[PjC @3133cjp]

Again, EVEN IF WE CONCEDE every AI warning sign, possibility is not probability. The Manhattan Project considered atmospheric ignition too. The question is how you get from “this could happen” to a 10 to 20% chance humanity is gone within a decade.

[PjC @3133cjp]

I don’t buy the claim that AI has a 10-20% chance of ending humanity in the next decade. It's a subjective guesstimate built from real warning signs through a much longer chain of capabilities and failures that just hasn't been demonstrated.

[PjC @3133cjp]

Also, whether it’s sincere groupthink or strategic hype, the result starts to look like doomerism with a bit of a psyop folded in.
