Coinbase’s CEO lays off a ton of employees and says:

“Non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI”

less than 24 hours later:

coinbase’s trading engine goes down and somehow even the status page breaks too

The CEO of Google DeepMind just admitted that if the decision had been his, we would've cured cancer before anyone ever used ChatGPT.

And that's not even the scariest thing he said on a recent interview.

Demis Hassabis is one of the most important people alive in AI.

He won the Nobel Prize last year for AlphaFold, the system that cracked the 50 year protein folding problem. 3 million scientists now use his tool. Almost every new drug being developed will touch it at some stage.

In a new interview, he was asked about the moment ChatGPT launched and Google went into "code red." His answer was one of the most revealing things any AI leader has ever said on the record:

"If I'd had my way, I would have left AI in the lab for longer. Done more things like AlphaFold. Maybe cured cancer or something like that."

Read that again.

The man running Google's entire AI division is publicly saying the commercial AI race we're all living through was a MISTAKE. That the industry got hijacked by a chatbot when it could have been solving the biggest problems in science and medicine.

His vision was simple:

Build AI slowly, carefully, like CERN. Use it to crack root node problems one at a time. Cancer. Energy. New materials.

Let humanity benefit from real breakthroughs while the foundational science was figured out over a decade or two.

Then ChatGPT dropped in November 2022 and everything changed.

Demis described what happened next as getting locked into a "ferocious commercial pressure race" that none of the labs can escape from. On top of that, the US vs China dynamic added geopolitical pressure.

The result is everyone sprinting toward products instead of breakthroughs, shipping chatbots while the scientific opportunity gets buried under marketing cycles and quarterly earnings.

But he's not saying progress isn't happening...

He's saying the progress got redirected away from the things that actually matter most.

And then it got even scarier:

Because when Demis was asked what he worries about with AI, he laid out two threats.

The first is what everyone talks about: Bad actors using AI for harm. Terrorist groups. Hostile nation states. Cyberattacks at scale.

But that's not the threat he's most worried about.

His second worry is AI itself going rogue. Not today's models. The models coming in the next two to four years as the industry enters what he calls "the agentic era."

Systems that can complete entire tasks autonomously. Systems that are increasingly capable and increasingly hard to control.

His exact words:

"How do we make sure the guardrails are put in place so they do exactly what they've been told to do, and there's no way of them circumventing that or accidentally breaching those guardrails? That's going to be an incredibly hard technical challenge if you think about how powerful and smart and capable these systems eventually get."

A Nobel Prize winner who runs one of the 3 most advanced AI labs on Earth just said publicly that within two to four years, we're entering a phase where AI alignment becomes a real problem, and the technical challenge of solving it is enormous.

And almost nobody is paying enough attention.

He called for international cooperation between labs, AI safety institutes, and academia to tackle the problem. He said this is the thing even the experts aren't thinking about enough.

He said the only way to get through the AGI moment safely is if everyone starts treating this with the seriousness it deserves.

Most AI CEOs give you careful PR answers about "responsible development" and move on.

Demis said something different...

He said the commercial race FORCED us into a premature deployment of a technology we barely understand, and the window to get alignment right before the next generation of agents shows up is two to four years.

If the man who built the system that might cure cancer is telling you he wishes it had happened first, maybe we should listen to what he says is coming next.

Thank you Jensen and NVIDIA! She’s a real beauty! I was told I’d be getting a secret gift, with a hint that it requires 20 amps. (So I knew it had to be good). She’ll make for a beautiful, spacious home for my Dobby the House Elf claw, among lots of other tinkering, thank you!!

Dario Amodei did what no one else would. He publicly called out the growing clash between Anthropic and the Department of War, laying bare just how intense the escalation has become and why his company is refusing to back down.

TLDR :
- Anthropic’s AI is already extensively deployed across the Department of War for operational military planning, cyber operations, and intelligence.
- The US government is pushing to use AI models for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.
- The Department of War is demanding that AI companies agree to any lawful use and explicitly remove their safety guardrails.
- Amodei warns that powerful AI now makes it possible to automatically build a comprehensive picture of any citizen’s life at massive scale without a warrant.
- He explicitly states that today’s frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power weapons that select and engage targets entirely without humans in the loop.
- Without proper guardrails, fully autonomous AI weapons cannot be relied upon to exercise the critical judgment of trained troops.
- Because Anthropic refused to remove its safety guardrails, the Department of War threatened to designate the company a supply chain risk.
- This is a severe label normally reserved for US adversaries and has never been applied to an American company before.
- The government is also threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act to legally force Anthropic to strip away its safety guardrails.
- Anthropic is refusing to comply, stating they cannot in good conscience provide a product that puts civilians at risk or enables mass domestic surveillance.
- If the government follows through on its threats, Anthropic is preparing to be completely offboarded from US military systems.
