We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

"we believe the world would benefit if the industry adopted a lawful, verifiable, effective mechanism for coordinated pacing as soon as possible."

Releasing a model this capable comes with risks. Without safeguards, Fable 5’s capabilities in areas like cybersecurity could be misused to cause serious damage.

Queries on a narrow range of topics will instead receive a response from our next-most-capable model, Opus 4.8.

“We dwell so often on what divides us, but humanity, full of dignity & conscience, has so much common ground. In conversations [we’ve] had with leaders across [faiths], we found one shared conviction: if this technology is coming, it must go well - for our common home & for the children to come.”

[Chris Olah @ch402]

The questions posed by AI are bigger than the AI community. We urgently need the world – religions, civil society, academics, governments – to participate in creating a positive outcome.

I'm glad the Catholic Church is engaging, and honored to speak at the presentation.

"No amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons. We will challenge any supply chain risk designation in court."

AI has the potential to compress a century of progress into a decade. To get there, we need to be thoughtful and pragmatic in managing a transition of that speed and magnitude.

Thanks to @andersoncooper @nicholemarks and the 60 Mins team for sharing Anthropic’s story.

@JasonKander Further—there was no pro Kerry IE to defend or counter attack. So while the campaign was right to be careful about spending its ~$80M in general election funds on this, the impact of the ad was brutal. We had volunteers who not only stopped volunteering but voted for Bush.

[Andrew Sullivan @SullivanAndrew]

@JasonKander Another factor was Kerry campaign spending—and timing. I was a field organizer in western WI in the summer of '04, so I felt this viscerally. Our general election public $ didn't kick in until August. The campaign was loath to spend big bucks responding to the attack.

This is great news...a reminder of the power of grassroots organizing—and the public officials who embrace grassroots efforts. @mayorcantrell and @otforus https://t.co/RWcQGhHZH2

@lulumeservey Far too soon to tell. The Reagan I’ve studied would have turned down the temperature, decried violence, brought the country together. Odds that happens here?

NEW: These are students at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Clare waiting in a long line to vote in the Supreme Court election right now. Young people are fire up and turning out — & they will save Wisconsin. This is absolutely huge.

What will happen to Texas oil and gas workers in the energy transition? @MitchFound wants to give them advanced skills and good jobs reducing emissions in their community. Fighting the #ClimateCrisis requires everyone. https://t.co/DMYgcPyKgi @HoustonChron #txlege
