Didn't tweet any PR for him after Week 1 and won't again after Week 2. There were some brutal drops in this game specifically, but Herbert's last three games (playoffs v NE) is the worst stretch I've ever seen from him. https://t.co/VG0iRNqEH1
I worked at Google DeepMind and now at Anthropic. This is a common sentiment amongst my peers.
(I write this in personal capacity.)
There is not yet a viable scientific plan to solve risks from recursively self-improving AI. Please look up!
@ParkerThayer Why do mfs turn everything into a conspiracy theory. How about this: We're about to create something more more dangerous than nukes and it needs to be regulated asap
An AI researcher leaves his job and raises a warning.
If nobody listens, it disappears.
If millions listen, it becomes suspicious. If journalists knew beforehand, it must have been planned. If others support him, they must be part of it.
Soon, everyone is discussing how the warning spread. Hardly anyone is asking whether it is right.
Even a planned warning can be true.
Even a sincere resignation can be mistaken.
Investigate the campaign.
But don’t mistake that for answering the warning.
I left Google DeepMind in June. Jacob is right: many researchers believe they are building something that could kill everyone on the planet. It was literally my day job to think about how to stop that.
@AOregino shutting it all down is a form of coordination -- and one I would prefer to just letting things rip. but I think there are better options that involve proceeding cautiously in a coordinated fashion (where less safety conscious actors are prevented from racing ahead).
I don't know what my probabilities are on literal extinction, but I think there are a number of ways AI could go poorly for humanity, and at the current frankly terrifying pace humanity will be quite lucky if we manage to find and stay on the narrow path between all the bad outcomes.
I am heartened by the many costly actions OpenAI has taken recently (detailed in several recent posts), but regardless of what you think of OpenAI, this is not a problem that can be solved by any one company (or country) in isolation. We need coordination to be able to approach future capability increases with an appropriate degree of caution and humility, and we need it yesterday.
Accountability for the wealthiest people on Earth is hard to come by.
Thank you for believing in the power of independent journalism to accomplish it.
(And, yes, more to come.)

NEW: NC State QB CJ Bailey tells @walexander he "talked to a ton" of schools during transfer portal season:
"I heard a couple of schools out, and it just didn’t feel the same. I wanted to be here."
Story: https://t.co/6BZFUeVY0P
Someone who nobody has ever heard of, declined 8 debates, and took $20 million in donations from Israel “won” a primary from an 8 year constituent.
We’re cooked.
NC State QB CJ Bailey on why he returned for his junior season: “In my heart, I knew I wanted to be at NC State.”
“I’m here now and I’m staying here. Y’all believed in me and I believe in y’all.”
