I am extremely excited to welcome @dylanscand to OpenAI as our Head of Preparedness.

Things are about to move quite fast and we will be working with extremely powerful models soon. This will require commensurate safeguards to ensure we can continue to deliver tremendous benefits.

Dylan will lead our efforts to prepare for and mitigate these severe risks. He is by far the best candidate I have met, anywhere, for this role. He has his work cut out for him for sure, but I will sleep better tonight. I am looking forward to working with him very closely to make the changes we will need across our entire company.

I’m joining OpenAI as Head of Preparedness. Deeply grateful for my time at Anthropic and the extraordinary people I worked alongside.

AI is advancing rapidly. The potential benefits are great—and so are the risks of extreme and even irrecoverable harm. There’s a lot of work to do, and not much time to do it!

@maxhodak_ @TangataNui does this actually work? 😮

No matter how often small businesses keep sounding the alarm, far too many San Franciscans chose to ignore it.

No hyperbole: Permitting and Zoning is killing urban life. We need to radically change. Remove discretionary applications, delete big chunks of zoning rules. DELETE IT!

@IanNappier Machines more capable than humans at every cognitive and physical task don’t seem particularly existentially risky to you?

@hausman_k What kind of representations would be good enough?

@maxhodak_ How are you using this at Science?
