Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon says the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." He tells Anderson what he finds "most scary is if AI is used to make itself more intelligent" and warns these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology."
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.
Thousands of children in Kasur were raped & videotaped, blackmailed & are still without justice. Zainab, Uzma, Kamran, the little boys of Shahrag, the little bachabaazi victims at trucks stood, coal mines, the brothels with sex workers age 9 up. And now this child raped & found dead above a grocery store.
Yet none of this is really a priority is it?
The relentless news keeps building. But as long as the powerful keep getting richer & more powerful, it doesn’t really matter.
We have become ridiculously desensitised.
Yet most of the people turning a blind eye to the LACK of child protection in Pakistan are deeply religious.
Curious. How do you all think your silence on every platform will show up on judgment day?
Because it will.
I stopped believing in a fair world when I started working with children’s rights & children in shelters 35 years ago.
But I do believe in the justice of Allah.
And Alhamdolillah I still do believe in the compassion & kindness of the human race.
There are angels amongst us that keep my faith in humanity alive.
In the mean time…. I request today as I did during Kasur… as I did in 2011-2013-2017-2018- & every year since I’ve been active on social media…
Please speak up and demand child protection, awareness & safe guarding for children, campaigns all over Pakistan.
This pandemic of child sexual abuse needs to stop.
It’s beyond insane how society has allowed it and how complicit all of those who continue to be silent are.
Pakistan being only mildly insulted in the headline after halting WW3 by this imperialist rag is quite the achievement - what a canny troubled country Pakistan is! One might even call it uncanny in some ways!
This may be one of the most misinformed takes circulating online right now. In any ceasefire or de-escalation agreement, especially one involving multiple stakeholders, there is a well established diplomatic process to ensure absolute clarity and prevent misinterpretation.
Typically, a Joint Statement (if issued) is carefully negotiated, worded, and mutually approved by all participating parties, along with the agreed-upon statements of each country, tailored to its domestic audience while remaining consistent with the agreed framework.
This title 'Draft: Pakistan's PM message on X," shows coordinated communications. Three separate drafts were prepared: one for the United States, one for Iran and one for Pakistan within the bounds of diplomatic protocol. Once approved by all relevant parties, it was posted.
Suggesting otherwise ignores how international diplomacy actually functions and only creates unnecessary confusion about a non-issue.
Anyone more concerned about spelling or edits than about the lives of thousands which have been saved and the death and destruction that would be stopped, even if temporarily, is a non-serious person
Pakistan should seek a permanent waiver against sanctions by the United States for importing oil and gas from Iran. Diplomacy is great but I would like to see tangible benefits.
