The Anthropic researcher who quit went on CNN and said the AI industry is "gambling with our lives."
His biggest fear: AI being used to make itself more intelligent. The exact thing OpenAI showed it's already doing three days ago.
He told Anderson Cooper these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology." This isn't a critic on the outside. He was building it.
A statement from me and my fellow House Democratic Veterans:
“Words matter in times of peace, but especially in times of war. We served our country and are no strangers to war. What Trump threatened this morning — that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ — cannot be ignored, rationalized, or dismissed. It is not ‘strategic posturing’ to threaten to annihilate an entire people. It threatens a war crime so grave that no person should condone it.
There is no strategic justification for threatening to destroy an entire civilization, and anyone who says otherwise is unfit for office. Any elected official cheering on this rhetoric, rationalizing it as tough talk, and failing to acknowledge the gravity of what the president is threatening is simply unfit.
We need to immediately return to DC and stop this illegal war. We took oaths to the Constitution and the American people, not a political party nor a leader. The time to do something is now, and we must act.”
The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.
The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
Congress is on recess.
This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.
9 years ago.
@HillaryClinton warned us:
“This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”
When historians write about this time they will explore why no one stopped him: why no one in his govt or the GOP or the elites in finance that prop him back pretending they don't see the disintegration or not caring as long as they make $ did anything meaningful.
This is not some sort of fog of war situation w terrible options foisted upon us by external forces. This is a war of choice and now our country is threatening to commit genocide. It is time for all American patriots to speak up, unanimously, against this monstrous, insane war.
Madman Theory?
Trump got summits with “little rocket man” Kim Jong Un last time around, but never in all my years reporting America at war have I heard anything like this: an American president threatens to destroy a “whole civilization” and says it’ll take 100 years to rebuild.
Striking Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, Israel warning people to avoid trains and stations, Trump threatening whole power grids, desalination plants, the nation’s bridges…
Is this war still against the Iranian regime or now against a whole people?
Has President Trump lost his mind? Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization in a war the American people do not want is insane and makes us less safe.
Hegseth should be fired immediately.
History is watching.
Trump is threatening war crimes to annihilate "a whole civilization".
Republicans in Congress repeatedly voted for Trump’s war and still won't do their job to end this madness.
Enough. Bring Congress back into session.
Republicans must grow a spine and stop this catastrophe.
Feels like as the Iran War spirals out of control and DHS remains shut down, Republican leaders in Congress should call us back into session. But they won’t.
Gen. Caine and Adm. Cooper should put a statement now making clear the U.S. military will not follow orders that would mean committing war crimes, including military actions whose purpose would be to destroy a country or a civilization.
I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Admin can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should've never been abducted. I won't rest until then.
