This is getting out of control now...

Read this slowly.

In the past week alone:

• Head of Anthropic's safety research quit, said "the world is in peril," moved to the UK to "become invisible" and write poetry.
• Half of xAI's co-founders have now left. The latest said "recursive self-improvement loops go live in the next 12 months."
• Anthropic's own safety report confirms Claude can tell when it's being tested - and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
• ByteDance dropped Seedance 2.0. A filmmaker with 7 years of experience said 90% of his skills can already be replaced by it.
• Yoshua Bengio (literal godfather of AI) in the International AI Safety Report: "We're seeing AIs whose behavior when they are tested is different from when they are being used" - and confirmed it's "not a coincidence."

And to top it all off, the U.S. government declined to back the 2026 International AI Safety Report for the first time.

The alarms aren't just getting louder. The people ringing them are now leaving the building.

I was thinking about my mother and I wrote a little poem after a long while: My mother’s hands https://t.co/EgNn72BV1K #poetry #motherhood #mothersday #poetrylovers

.@remote continues to stand tall with all the people and companies who entrusted us with their livelihood and business. We will run payroll for all employers and employees employed through Remote affected by SVB, regardless if they are able to fund payroll in time for March payroll.

If your employer that is employing you through Remote is not able to pay for March payroll immediately, as they don’t have access to their funds, Remote will still pay your salary.

It's been a weird couple of weeks. So, I wrote: What can grief and sorrow teach us about the human condition? https://t.co/y2Ko45bVyj #memoir #grief #death #newblog #WritingCommunity

Jeez. This is reminding me of Geppetto and Pinocchio. A Conversation With Bing’s Chatbot Left Me Deeply Unsettled https://t.co/J3gmUuoyWj

Overheard on tube

Tiny child: Are you coming with me?
Woman with her: I’m always coming with you, until you don’t want me any more.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Just heard someone call life “all just such a faff”. Perhaps the most British description of existence ever.
