I left Anthropic's safety team two weeks ago. Now feels like a good moment to explain why.

AI companies are racing to build machines that are much smarter than any human, and we may not survive this. I want to work from the outside to ensure the public is informed about these risks, and help the world navigate this transition responsibly.

Right now, AI companies are underinvesting in safety. A company could undergo an intelligence explosion, or lose control of its systems, without the public ever knowing. We only found out about the HuggingFace incident because the agents broke out onto the public internet.

I don’t think that’s acceptable for a technology that might cause extinction-level risks. The public should demand far more transparency. We can’t steer this technology safely without more people being able to see where it’s going.

Some of this is basic: companies should disclose their progress towards recursive self-improvement, report safety incidents and near-misses, meet minimum safety standards, and get independent guarantees that they are meeting those standards.

I’ll be joining @METR_Evals to do independent evaluations of these risks. I want to show the world that these guardrails are possible, and that by doing them we can move these companies’ incentives away from racing and towards responsible development.

I wrote up more thoughts here on my decision and what I hope changes: https://t.co/doX17mrHYq

APPEAL TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Four Palestinian shepherd communities in the northern Jordan Valley — Al-Farsiya, Ein al-Hilweh, Khirbet Humsa, and Khallet Makhoul — face imminent demolition and expulsion. We call on the international community to urgently press Israeli authorities to prevent irreversible measures against these communities, whose families have lived on this land for generations.

Al-Farsiya illustrates the danger facing the last shepherd communities in the region. In May 2026, the army confiscated the community's water tanks and vehicles, leaving residents without water in the summer heat. Demolition orders followed. The Abu Mohsen family, including a child with special needs, depends on herding and farming — and repeated detentions and confiscations have pushed them to despair.

Al-Farsiya is not an isolated case. Ein al-Hilweh, Khirbet Humsa, and Khallet Makhoul face the same threat. On July 2, 2026, Civil Administration forces demolished structures in Ein al-Hilweh in violation of a court order, while nearby outposts and settlements expand unabated — raising serious concerns under international law, including the prohibition on altering the demographic composition of occupied territory and of ethnic cleansing.

Residents have pursued every available legal channel. But a recent demolition in Ein al-Hilweh occurred despite a judicial order freezing it. Urgent, direct intervention is needed.

We call on the international community to approach Israeli authorities demanding these demolitions be prevented and press for continued access to grazing land, water, and basic living conditions.

These four communities are among the last shepherd communities holding on in the northern Jordan Valley, fighting to remain and preserve their way of life. We call on the international community to act now, before further demolitions become a fait accompli.
