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.

my new sonic oc: rapist the pedophile

[SMii7Y @SMii7Y]

For those who don’t want to read all of this. I’ll post a shorter version for my next tweet:

Being a Canadian, every time I’ve travelled to the US, not even just recently, but ever since I was a kid. There’s always been an underlying feeling that something could potentially happen to me or those around me simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That being said, I don’t only get this feeling when I’m in the US. Of course, anything can happen anywhere, even in Canada. But now more than ever, the US truly feels like a country on the verge. With everything and everyone so divided, that feeling is definitely amplified. When I do make trips to the US, I fully recognize my privilege as a white person. Painfully aware that I will likely be treated better than someone who doesn’t look like me even if all their documentation is in order just the same as mine. But now, the lines are being blurred with new ones being drawn in the sand just to be stepped over instantaneously with no consequence. Each time it happens a finger gets pointed at the other and nothing gets resolved. The leaders of the world are failing us. I have so many friends and family in the US and hope their safety is never at risk. It’s heartbreaking to see a country I’ve grown up next to and have truly loved all the time I’ve spent there get to this point. The senseless violence is infuriating to watch unfold.

2027 cant come soon ENOUGH

[John "F" Fountain @FountainCartoon]

Since #AI bros are all showing off things they’ve “made”…

I made this.

Twenty five years ago, I drew this animation by hand, with pencil, on paper, frame by frame on fours (AI “filmmakers” will have to look up what that means) by slugging the timing (again, look it up) below the drawings, at which point it was handed off to human beings who rotoscoped my animatic (keep researching, guys) with both CGI and traditional/digital tools to make it match exactly what I’d drawn.

It took a long time and a lot of work.

But I can say “We made this” and there’s no debate to be had.

See how that works?

"they are lazy to learn"

[GLITCH @glitch_prod]

We employ over 80 artists to carefully work on every single part of the animation and creative process.
You will never get the nuance, complexity and beauty of a Ghibli film without the human hand and their love.

We will never use AI to replace art in our works.

"I was one of the artists"
"It was a ton of work"

You typed words into a generator.

[Christopher Fryant @cfryant]

Can finally talk about this - I was one of the artists on the Coca-Cola commercial.

It was a ton of work, and the project was full of people driven to put out the best work we possibly could.

Thank you to @secret__level and @jasonzada for letting me be a part of this landmark project!
