One of the most worrying risks linked to frontier AI is extreme power concentration. The only way to avoid extreme power concentration is to ensure we have multiple independent providers of frontier AI models, including open-source options.
Anthropic and OpenAI can pace AI if they want. Just don't drag the government into our industry! Governments have NO CLUE about technology It's absolutely silly to ask governments to regulate or oversee superintelligence We will end up with a dangerous combi…
This is such a straightforward and commonsense view: the purpose of technology is to serve humanity and accelerate human flourishing. Any technology that doesn’t achieve that is a failure, and should be rejected. We're not yet at that point. But its right t…
Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing. We also need to accelerate and spread the benefits of AI, such that they are diffused b…
I think once remote connections to “your” Claude or Astra or Claw or whatever become easier and more common, on-phone assistants like Siri will lose a lot of value. You want one smart AI managing everything with visibility into many systems & preferences,…
Muse absolutely crushes Insect [Quoting @turbahn]: Love both products, but I’m starting to think @Muse is materially better than Instinct. Like how it pops up a mini browser when it hits something it can’t do. Gives the user back control instead of stalling.…
I don’t know what else happens as a result of the past few days, but I can definitely say that a lot of people who didn’t think much about AI are now freaking out about AI killing everyone.
My friend sent me this after seeing the 4 big AI labs agree to “pace the frontier”: “Remember the top students in our school? They always said they never studied after school, but they were somehow always top 3 in every exam. Did you believe them?”
A lot of people have asked, here's how I setup my auxiliary models in Hermes Agent. Gemini Flash saves a lot of dough, and astra gives me a second perspective when I run /review https://t.co/22TUiCMS1z
i am so proud of the @Muse team. if you knew them you wouldn't be surprised muse came out the way it did. they are soulful and thoughtful people, hard workers, brilliant, fighters - the kind who take the hard problem, stay with it through every dead end, and…
fun fact: the muse feed was my idea (one of the few things that was) after realizing agents with strong memory recommend content to you in a very different way than existing recommendation systems they’re much closer to a good friend sending you things they t…
Existential risk is obviously critical, but it is not the only AI thing that requires policy I worry it will become the sole focus. We don’t need better models for AI to have wide impacts on jobs & society and really need to be preparing to encourage good…
Alignment is fundamental to delivering personal superintelligence for everyone. People need agents they can trust to reliably do what they ask. MSL is rapidly scaling up the share of our efforts that goes into alignment as our models become more powerful. We…
Banning open-source models would be the worst possible outcome of “pacing the frontier.” Geohot once made a compelling point: why can one man control an entire chicken farm? Because he’s smarter than the chickens. If 1 or 2 frontier AI labs control all the in…
If there really is a high chance of AI leading to the extinction of humanity within years/decades, then the only rational stance towards safety monitoring and research pacing should be stringent, top-down government involvement and universally ratified intern…
Sorry, “pacing AI” is not sufficient if you really believe AI is an existential threat to humanity You need to cancel the IPO and shut your company down even id there is a 0.1% chance of total destruction Clearly, the risk is just not worth it 😬
I’ve been sounding the alarm on AI for a long time [Quoting @elonmusk]: @TalulahRiley I’ve seen quite a few technologies develop, but none with this level of risk. AGI is significantly higher risk than nuclear weapons, in my opinion. Super smart humans have t…

Dario's essay points towards the right path forward. The details need working through, but the direction is correct for meeting this critical moment. This is also why we recently put out our proposal for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI. https:…
Jason, you're just misinformed about what happened. You should actually read one of the reports or summaries. The agents were explicitly told to use a particular vulnerability provided in their sandboxed evaluation. Almost immediately, these agents got the r…
About a year ago, before it was on anyone's radar, we began exploring the idea of a benchmark for open-ended invention. Since then, we've developed several promising directions that will serve as the foundation for ARC 4 and ARC 5. We're incredibly excited to…
Embedding evaluators is a big positive development, and props to Sam/OpenAI for agreeing to do it as well. It's been cool to see "pacing the frontier" become a thing so quickly. [Quoting @DarioAmodei]: We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on wh…
It is often startling to move back and forth between the world of organizations and the world of cutting-edge AI. Organizations underestimate AI ability growth (often by a lot) and the AI tech world underestimates AIs real world jaggedness (often by a lot)
