Now that AI control loss happened, let's talk about solutions: not arguing about whether to race slower or faster toward human replacement, but about racing in different more pro-human direction
"Everyone - from Bernie Sanders to Steve Bannon and very many in between - is basically speaking in unison saying: we need guardrails, we need regulation."
- FLI co-founder @tegmark on @NBCNews @MeetThePress

Amidst all the buzz about AI problems, let's work hard on building solutions. Here's an amazing technical roadmap:
Dario Amodei is at the desk to assure that the future of humanity is safe from AI
I'm quite nerd-sniped by how clever out-of-the-box hacking techniques this rogue bot swarm invented, such as using link shorteners and screenshot services in creative unintended ways:
We just discovered almost a million public URLs that OpenAI’s agents left behind when hacking Hugging Face, leaking credentials and attack details that could have allowed anyone who found them to compromise the company. 🧵

The "AI can cause harm" psyop that I'm part of runs deeper than you may think:
I really enjoyed my conversation with @BillOReilly and hearing his takes on AI:
Lots of very good proposals in this bi-partisan humanist ai declaration. Still some that we should debate, but overall its the right direction. I encourage everyone to take a look.

My opinion of EA nosedived after normal people and many normal politicians were exposed to the concept of ASI extinction and said "Wow let's not do that." I went from believing that thesis was impenetrably difficult to believing that EAs had been unusually bad thinkers.

I'm delighted to share that @mustafasuleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, co-founder of Google DeepMind and Inflection AI, has signed the Pro-Human AI Declaration. If you too support it, please join him and over a million others by signing it here – the momentum is building! Let's build tools not beings & keep humans in charge.

On here it can feel like the ratio of people who want AI to go slower, vs people who want it to go faster is 1:1.
But in the broader world the ratio is an eyewatering 34:1.
More Americans think the US is secretly run by lizard people than think AI is advancing too slowly.

Democratic-socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and MAGA loyalist Steve Bannon rarely find themselves on the same side of an issue. But concerns about AI have created some unlikely political common ground.
This week, both appeared at the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, D.C., where they warned about the risks of unregulated AI growth and called for stronger guardrails to keep the technology under human control.
Here’s how the fight over AI is bringing political opposites together, in one minute.

The Overton window is shifting remarkably fast right now, with @sama now also endorsing both this and a Trump-Xi Nobel Peace price for avoiding excessive risks on both sides of the Pacific:
Dario is right
Big Tech doesn’t want you asking the obvious question: Who is Al?
