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.

@SenSchumer please firm up the FTC before year end. Let’s keep @linakhanFTC 🙏🏽

We do understand the #globalwarming caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted.
But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.
And that worries me.

Russian journalists Anna politkovskaya, Stanislav Markelov, Natalya Estemirova. Grozny 2005. All of them were assassinated. This is how Russia operates and what Russia is trying to export.

32 years ago in 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine declared independence.

That year I was graduating from high school. The world around me crumbled. I realized that my life was a lie. Everything I had been taught about the world was not true 1/

House Republicans are going to shut down the government unless the Department of Defense starts openly discriminating against gay people.

Got it.

I’m no politician. But I’ve read the indictment.

Any elected official who can’t tell the difference between a “witch hunt” & the required application of the rule of law shouldn’t be serving, nor should citizens place faith in them.

the woke mob wants you to think its "illegal" and "a crime" to attempt to overthrow the government and install yourself as dictator for life

One of the climate tipping points we are crossing right now is the breakdown of the earth's atmospheric conveyor system, which has devastating implications for weather around the world. we're talking Europe-becomes-a frozen-wasteland devastating.

While July was the hottest month ever recorded for human civilization, it was also the wettest month ever recorded in Ireland. The jet stream is completely broken, causing it to get stuck in these blocking patterns. The implications for agriculture are serious, even in Ireland.

The plan was to stage a coup and then use the military to put down any protest that ensued.

[Rep. Frank Pallone @FrankPallone]

We must act to prevent a crisis in Artsakh. The Azeri blockade of the Lachin Corridor has led to a dire shortage of essential goods & is a textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. There must be consequences.

For over a year, I’ve been fighting to hold Central Hudson accountable – today's Department of Public Service announcement is a huge step in that direction, and will provide real relief to Hudson Valley families.

@ChrisMurphyCT Due to pressure from Humphrey and Randolph!

Being tried for his role in January 6 is not an imposition on Trump. On the contrary, it is his right to be tried. In a country without the rule of law, you don't get a trial when your coup fails.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Not sure how you can look at this data, ostensibly be interested in either meritocracy or equality, and want to move away from standardized tests. It's the subjective measures that are most slanted in favor of the rich kids.
