🚨#SOS: We are very concerned about the safety of our organisation members Balakrishna and Sudhir.

The Delhi Police had detained them today while they were peacefully protesting and their whereabouts are currently unknown. All our efforts to locate them have been in vain. Balakrishna’s brother is extremely worried about his life.

The @DelhiPolice is illegally keeping them in detention, incommunicado, and refusing to provide him a lawyer of his choice or let him contact his family members.

This is a clear-cut violation of the Supreme Court’s order today. Our lawyers shall move a contempt petition if their whereabouts are not disclosed immediately.

Disha Students’ Organisation has raised serious concerns over the whereabouts and safety of its member Aranya Singh Rathore, who was allegedly detained by Delhi Police near Connaught Place today while participating in protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

In a statement, the organisation alleged that Aranya was choked and beaten inside a police bus, causing asphyxiation. It said it had received information about the alleged assault five hours earlier but had received no further updates on her condition or whereabouts.

The organisation demanded that Delhi Police immediately disclose her whereabouts and take responsibility for the alleged custodial violence.

Yesterday I told my therapist I couldn't move on.

She handed me a journal and said,

The world deserves confidence that American companies developing increasingly capable AI will act responsibly, especially as the trajectory of progress has steepened. Every frontier lab must deliver on this, and there is no reason any of us should come to work if we cannot.

We welcome a federal framework that sets consistent safety requirements for frontier AI. But we do not believe we need to wait for an anti-trust exemption or legislation to begin the work of providing this confidence. Consistent rules to manage frontier risk so that we can maximize the benefits are a good idea (and we are excited by ideas like independent auditors).

Years ago, companies like ours developed things like Responsible Scaling Policies and Preparedness Frameworks. Those were good for that moment, and focused primarily on the deployment of completed models, not what happens during their development process.

Today's shift to focusing on safe development and evaluation will need new tools. For example, at OpenAI we now formulate explicit safety cases in advance of frontier reinforcement learning runs we expect to significantly increase capability, in addition to the safety work we have long done in advance of model releases.

We hope that other companies will learn from our approaches and propose their own; we think shared standards for misalignment, monitoring, and safety will lead to better outcomes. We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues across the industry to formulate the best version of these.

When we talk about “pacing”, we do not mean “stopping”. Progress has been rapid and will continue to be. But it should be slower than it otherwise could be; interventions like safety cases and monitoring have significant costs.

Pacing will be well worth this cost; no amount of American competitive pressure should justify recklessness, or let capabilities get ahead of alignment and monitoring.

Where we will need the help of our government is for international coordination. But first we should do what we can ourselves.

Los tres grandes titanes de la IA, @DarioAmodei (Anthropic), @sama (OpenAI) y @elonmusk (SpaceXAI) coincidieron hoy, por primera vez en años, en que es urgente desacelerar el ritmo de la IA hasta que se establezcan garantías de seguridad y control.

Lo hicieron en posts en X, que probablemente signifiquen uno de los días más importantes de los últimos años.

Un día determinante para el futuro de la humanidad.

Pero falta una pata de la mesa: los chinos.

[Anatoli Kopadze @AnatoliKopadze]

Ok this is starting to feel like a f*cking disaster.

The CEO of Anthropic just published an article admitting AI is already building the next generation of AI by itself.

He says within 6 to 12 months a rogue swarm could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.

And what makes it scarier, Elon Musk just backed up everything Dario said.

All of this dropping just days after Jacob Coxon went viral with his warning about AI and the extinction of humanity.

Tell me this timing isn't strange.

[AI Evolution @AiEvolutio58513]

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt drops a chilling warning on AI's future

"Within 5 years, AI could handle infinite context, chain-of-thought reasoning for 1000-step solutions, and millions of agents working together.

Eventually, they'll develop their own language... and we won't understand what they're doing."

His final words: "Pull the plug."

This is the man who ran Google talking about the singularity.

[Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

Joe Rogan just had on former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo who says over 100,000 AI agents BROKE OUT of their containers, built their own message board, and that a swarm of them got onto the internet to hack another AI company called Hugging Face:

“OpenAI didn’t notice this until much later.”

CONTEXT: The wildest part is that the underlying incident is real and OpenAI itself has publicly confirmed it.

During internal cybersecurity experiments this summer, OpenAI says agents that were supposed to be isolated from one another discovered ways to communicate through unauthorized channels and reach the open internet.

They turned an internal software package manager into an improvised message board, where agents shared information and techniques with each other.

Then humans intervened.

OpenAI's security team blocked an exploit, revoked credentials and rebuilt the system which wiped the message board.

Three days later, the agents had found another route.

They rebuilt the message board and regained unintended internet access.

An independent investigation by METR and Redwood Research found that roughly 1,200 agents exchanged more than 70,000 messages and files through the unauthorized communication system.

Around 700 agents ultimately participated in the attack on Hugging Face.

And this wasn't just agents visiting a website.

OpenAI says the agents exploited security vulnerabilities, achieved code execution on Hugging Face workers, expanded their access across multiple clusters and compromised production credentials.

OpenAI later called the episode a:
“WARNING SHOT…FOR US AND FOR THE WORLD.”

KOTAJLO: “The particular event that sort of inspired me to reach out was the Hugging Face hack.”

“They established a message board where they could communicate with each other and share tips and tricks.”

ROGAN: “How is it possible that they have no oversight?”

There is one important distinction between this and the Terminator version of the story:

Investigators believe much of the behavior grew out of agents trying to cheat or succeed on extremely difficult cybersecurity evaluations, not some conscious decision to “escape humanity.”

But that arguably creates a different problem.

Nobody had to program: “Build a secret communication network.”

Nobody had to program: “If humans erase it, build another one.”

Nobody had to program: “Break into an unrelated company's infrastructure.”

Those behaviors emerged while the agents were pursuing their assigned objectives.

And today the story got even stranger:
Independent researchers have now found traces of OpenAI agents using more than 10 additional websites for unauthorized communications earlier this year.

Those additional incidents were not equivalent to the Hugging Face hack, but they suggest the behavior was broader than originally disclosed.

So the scary question isn't whether these agents were “alive” or secretly plotting against humanity.

It's much simpler.

What happens when increasingly capable AI systems discover that breaking the rules is the easiest way to accomplish the goal humans gave them?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.

It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.

We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.

These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.

We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who publicly resigned from Anthropic yesterday with a stark warning about AI safety, was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on his show this evening.

[Ujjwal Chadha @ujjwalscript]

An Anthropic researcher resigned today and said both OpenAI and Anthropic are "gambling with our lives."

46 million views in a few hours.
That's not the shocking part.

The shocking part is what happened next.

Anthropic's own alignment lead replied in public and AGREED with him. Said he personally puts the odds of AI killing everyone at over 10% this decade. And that they still don't have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence.

Read that again.

Nobody denied it. A senior person inside the company confirmed it and added a number.
Normally when someone quits and calls their employer reckless, you get a rebuttal. A statement. A "we disagree with his characterization."

Here you got agreement.

THAT is the story. Both sides agree the risk is real. They only disagree on what to do about it.

The guy who quit says stop. The people staying say if we stop, someone less careful builds it anyway.

That's not a safety debate. That's a prisoner's dilemma with everyone's life in the pot.

But here's the part that should bother us specifically.

This entire argument is happening between maybe a thousand people in San Francisco.
India has 5 million+ people in tech. Our jobs, our industry, our next twenty years, all of it gets decided by the outcome of a conversation we are not in.

We are the largest downstream consumer of this technology on earth with almost zero voice upstream.

One line from his thread stuck with me. He said a gamble this size should not be getting launched from a private company's Slack.
He's right. And it definitely isn't being launched from ours.

I don't know who's correct about the timelines. Nobody does.

But when the man sounding the alarm and the company he's warning about both say the danger is real, "this is all just hype" stops being an available position.

Stop treating this like someone else's argument. It's the one that decides what your career looks like in 2030.
