I heard of this very human story thanks to @danwakeford 's insightful analysis and commentary here: https://t.co/cGTXts8FIF

[Frankie Muniz @frankiemuniz]

The last 6 weeks of my life have been a nightmare I’m praying to wake up from. Everything felt heavy, unclear, and like it was falling apart at the same time. I wouldn’t wish this season on anyone.

The unexpected gift in the middle of it is that I’ve had nowhere to hide. I’ve had time to sit with myself, do real self-reflection, and finally see the areas of my life that need work if I want to become a better version of me. Not the polished version I show the world...the actual one.

I read that sometimes hitting rock bottom is the thing that wakes you up. It forces the changes you needed to make all along so you can live the best life possible. That idea has been sitting with me. In five years I believe I’ll look back at this exact low point and feel grateful for it, because the high I’ll be standing on then only exists because I went through this.

This isn’t the end of the story. It’s the part where I start doing the work...the uncomfortable, unglamorous, necessary work. I’m choosing to treat this season as the foundation, not the finish line.

If you’re in a low place right now too, you’re not broken. You’re being rebuilt. Let's keep going!

Fareed is not wrong. Plus how #Rich do these #TechBros need to be, what they can't finish spending in 100x their lifetimes? #WTF //After 2008, we regulated American #banks - and they now dominate the world. We could do the same with #AI.//

The idea of an intelligence explosion caused by recursive self improvement has been around for a long time but until very recently it did not seem imminent. Now many leading researchers think it may happen quite soon. You can read our paper about it here:

AI dominance will not belong simply to the country that builds the most powerful models fastest.

It will belong to the country whose AI the world is willing to trust.

🚨Potentially huge deal: @SpeakerMenin has introduced NYC legislation that would OBLIGATE third party validation of AI models.

Self-policing is not enough. Thrilled to see NYC stepping in where the federal government is doing too little.

Angie, I suspect Geoff is speaking with many hypothetical worst cases. Let me nail few things down. Two people with #OffSwitch will be #POTUS + #Xi #China. ALL military targeting & strategy, ... systems use #FrontierAI, the 2 (+) countries' leaders will keep the #Off #Unused. No?

FFS. Shut OpenAI down, and charge them with computer crimes.

Their software has repeatedly been shown to be reckless, and because they have consistently covered things up we cannot trust them with this technology.

@angie_rasmussen #GoodLuck Angie in finding technically realistic ways to use AI to advance your work! I hope #BadVersions of things only remain in our worst imagination, although I'm NOT putting it as #ZEROrisk & maybe a much higher than you would name, like, 21% risks of #horror. #RandomNumber

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

Interesting analysis of the intersections between METR and Anthropic’s world — and a clear reason why they can’t be the only auditor, even though they do good research and deserve a role.

I’m starting a new series: Dissecting a Chip Fab

Fabs rely on machines operating at nanometer-level precision, plus automated systems that move, inspect, and process wafers at every step

I’ll break down that equipment and the companies behind it, many of which most investors have never heard of

Saw this tweet from #PaulWalsh #LinkedIn Post,
//Transparency isn’t a new AI safety concept. It’s a basic requirement for earning trust. By presenting it as something AI companies are only now learning how to do, you achieve the opposite and give people//

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we hadn't disclosed the agent cyberattack publicly.

It reinforced my conviction that we need 100x more transparency in AI. Otherwise we're going to be in big trouble!
