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.
JUST IN: Femi Gbajabiamila reportedly forged a law, used it to collect ₦54bilion from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), claiming it was an order from Pres. Tinubu. Bayo Onanuga backs him.
He allegedly demanded 4% of NUPRC’s revenue, to be split into two. 2.5% and 1.5%, the latter will be for “upgrading of crude oil and gas metering and transparency systems” — this doesn’t exist in this context. It was his way of illegally collecting the money to himself.
Gbaja assumed office as Chief of Staff in June 2023. The incident occurred in July 2023, just weeks after Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in.
Bayo Onanuga insists the money was not illegal and that it was released under a lawful order from the President. Which is concerning, because the President does not have the legal authority to issue such orders.
Apparently, the Presidential Chief of Staff also reached out to FIRS, NIMASA and Nigerian Customs with similar tactics.

Your husband never respected these rights as governor.
He violated mine for 162 days without trial. He is lucky that he even goes to court, some of us were abducted and kept without any form of trial until he was satisfied to let us free.
While I am against any form of persecution regardless of who it is being done to, I thought I should remind you ma'am that your husband was a dictator who never obeyed court orders that went against him and his ego.
RIVERS YOUTH FOUND 18 YEARS AFTER DISAPPEARANCE
Gospel Kinanee, at 14 years old, left home one night and never returned. His family says their search for him took them to police stations, but to no avail.
His brother says the correctional centre where he has now been found was visited twice during the search.
With no formal trial or access to legal representation, the young Ogoni man, who went missing in 2007, was one of 21 inmates released from the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre when the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon Amadi, flagged off the Rivers State Jail Delivery Exercise.
His family named him Gospel Kinanee, but the correctional centre has him in its records as Baridi Sunday.
Gospel Kinanee's mental health is now the subject of litigation.
This situation is quite concerning.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, claims that the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) does not exist within the structure of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
However, this very council is listed in the budget of the Presidency, not in some distant ministry or agency; it's allocated within the budget of the Presidency itself.
This raises two possibilities: either the Presidency is unaware of its own budget, which is meant for its own operations, or the Secretary to the Federal Government is being dishonest.
What surprises me is that the Secretary is making a definitive statement on an issue that can be easily verified. I've attached a screenshot from the Federal Budget Office, which shows what the National Assembly voted on and what the President approved.
The amount in question is N1.3 billion.
We will be closely observing how the President responds to this situation.
BRUHHHHH!!! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IN THIS STORY THAT AREN’T BEING TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH!!!
The middle man of the arrangement died a day after Prince Adeniyi sent a petition to the Nigerian police. The petition would have made them call the man to tell his side of the story.
Prince Adeyemi said the police should investigate the man’s mysterious death.
And that they should investigate the multiple assasinanation attempts on his life.
AND IN ONE OF THOSE ATTEMPTS, HIS PHONES THAT HAD EVIDENCE WAS STOLEN. HE ASKED THE POLICE TO HELP HIM TRACK IT BUT SOMEONE TOLD HIM THAT ORDER CAM FROM ABOVE FOR THEM TO NOT TRACK IT!!!
