“I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing, uh, pre‑training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self‑improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”
“The company said that as models grow more powerful, lone individuals can now create threats impossible a year ago. In one instance, its system blocked a request for Claude's help authoring a grant application involving gain‑of‑function research on the Chikungunya virus aimed at transmissibility and immune evasion.”
“I think the $5,000 idea is a horrible, horrible, horrible idea, horrible, and I'm gonna show you a tweet from him from 14 years ago, on why he also believes it's a horrible idea.”
“We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains and progress is not slowing. The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt.”
“She doesn't want to say it. Yes. A black man is a holdout juror? Yes.”
“know, it's like indirectly, your parents will tell you, okay, if you go to school, you're gonna get a lot of propaganda, just ignore it.”
“and it's relatively less controversial, relatively, even for the American voters compared to like dropping bombs, because it's more visible, they're like, oh, the war's still ongoing, the oil's going out, we don't like it.”
