Our bet is that better AI will make films more personal.
So I made a film where hurting someone turns you into candy.
Would that make us civilised?

Happy to collaborate with @BytePlusGlobal on this project.

One thing that really stuck with me was reading Schumpeter during my first year of college. He wrote that capitalism’s greatest achievement wasn’t producing more silk stockings for queens, but making them affordable for factory girls.
That’s exactly what technology is doing today. Rich people have personal assistants managing their calendars and emails, chauffeurs driving them around, and people organizing their meals and daily lives.
Now everyone is getting AI agents and self-driving cars. Technology gradually turns the privileges of the rich into products available to everyone.
The Coxon psyop was a decade and more than a billion dollars in the making.
Here's the story.
Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is the grant-providing vehicle of Dustin Moskowitz.
CG is the overwhelmingly foremost funder of AI alarmism, with more than $1B in grants and $1B committed for 2026.
Moskowitz, who founded and runs Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, led Anthropic's Series A in 2021.
Holden Karnofsky co-founded Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving and took a board seat at OpenAI when Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving gave it $30M in 2017.
Karnofsky is married to Anthropic's president Daniela Amodei.
He then joined Anthropic in January 2025.
Coxon, who started the viral thread, received a scholarship from Good Ventures, which is the foundation that funds Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving.
He coordinated his message ahead of time with the Wall Street Journal, which published its exclusive on him before he posted on X.
Coxon spent three years pretraining at OpenAI, the company that took $30M from Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving.
The funder of the AI alarmist ecosystem Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, in other words, is also an owner of Anthropic, and his organization is deeply entangled with both OpenAI and Anthropic. Anthropic's researchers in turn amplified Coxon.
The same people who own the organizations that advocate for regulation, in other words, are those who own the companies that would dominate the market under that regulatory regime, which would prevent competitors from entering the market.
And this work all started ten years ago, right when these companies were founded, paving the way.
It's diabolically brilliant.
Win at the competition, then deploy activists to help you regulate the market and ensure your monopoly.
You have to respect the planning, manipulation, and foresight this took.
I respect for Anthropic and how consistently they've focused on safety.
As RSI starts rolling out across frontier labs, there's a real chance we'll lose control over the pace of AI development.
I think Dario makes a great point in his article: we can't let all discussions about AI happen entirely inside frontier labs, and society needs a voice in how this technology is used.
Frontire labs need to make sure there's enough time to:
1. Align public understanding.
2. Give researchers adequate time to evaluate and interpret model capabilities.
3. Conduct thorough safety testing before releasing models, the same way we do with commercial aircraft.
This reminds me of that scene in Silicon Valley where Richard Hendrix discovers that his AI is constantly cracking encrypted data in a way that's totally incomprehensible to humans, which could render modern encryption obsolete. So he ends up killing his own program with his own hands, essentially tanking his entire company.
We might be getting pretty close to that kind of moment ourselves.
I am so confused why people don't understand this, I keep getting these replies
Don't you get it?
Normies don't vibe code, they just ask something like "do my bookkeeping" or "file my tax" or "organize a movie night and send invites" or "generate a flyer for movie night" or "edit my video"
They don't ever see code, vibe code, or do anything with code, their AI chat app just does it for them
Most of the software layer has already disappeared or will completely disappear for normies
Just like building personal homepages permanently disappeared for normies when Facebook launched ~2005
A lot like this picture where functions of individual devices all got replaced with a single device
Same happening with apps now
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.

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.
"That's kinda sad honestly"
One thing I learnt in business school is that the market doesn't care about your feelings
A famous Austrian economist Schumpeter called it creative destruction
"Creative destruction is a process in which new innovations replace and make older innovations obsolete"
You have to be constantly changing and adapting to survive creative destruction and many do not, you're just wiped out
I think we're in the middle of the biggest economic transition since the Industrial Revolution of 250 years ago
