While AI leaders warn superintelligent AI could cause human extinction, governments are asleep at the wheel. The companies building superintelligence admit the danger, yet expect to create the tech wi

A year ago Gabe and I started Torchbearer because the gap I kept seeing was not 'people who get it' but 'people who get it and have somewhere to put their effort.' That is what this is. Substack just

alignment in 2016: obviously any real AI will be made inside a faraday cage magnetically suspended in a 10×10×10 cube of telekill alloy alignment in 2026: yeah we can not make it stop talking about go

To be a bit more clear for people who did not read the full article: A domestic data-center ban does not directly address the risks of extinction from ASI, and weakens the US. People may or may not al

We at @ControlAI are sometimes asked what we think of banning datacenter construction. At CAI, we focus on one issue: The risk of extinction from superintelligent AI. The only way to prevent this is t

On Star Price's new @hitpausepod podcast, ControlAI's US Director Connor Leahy (@NPCollapse) explains how AIs can already tell when they're being tested. Currently, we can still catch them cheating, b

The people building the most powerful technology in history cannot tell you what is happening inside their own systems. This is insane. We started the Torchbearer Community for exactly this reason. Re

I agree with Connor that most folks concerned about AI have been far too coy about extinction risk, and that ControlAI is one of few exceptions. The world needs more earnest communication efforts. We

If you are inclined to take @ohabryka on his word on issues like this, you may want to know some context... Oliver accuses me and ControlAI of telling people to be more coy about extinction risks. I h

We think ControlAI can turn $50M / year into a 10% chance of banning ASI. Most of the AI safety community has been far too coy about extinction risk. We're not. It's not that complicated: AI smarter t

The AI industry insists they can manage the risks of superintelligence, but there are in fact zero widely agreed on or accepted solutions to the problem of how one could even control something vastly

EVERYONE who heard about @SeismicOrg (Seismic Foundation)'s report that AI 'salience' is low NEEDS to hear about this! New research from data science wiz @davidshor shows AI is now ahead of ABORTION a

A 'race' implies that it is something that is worth 'winning', which is not the case for superintelligence. Whoever finished first is just the first to trigger irrecoverable catastrophe. 'There is no

' If a superintelligence is built, humanity will lose control over its future.' Before Canadian Senators, ControlAI's US Director Connor Leahy (@NPCollapse) explains why superintelligence could lead t

Open secret that the big AI labs see themselves as emergent state-like entities in the vein of the distributed polities in “Diamond Age” or “Terra Ignota”, which is pretty funny bc staff at said labs

'There is no advantage from being first. If you get first to a superintelligence you don't control, the superintelligence wins. Not the USA. Not China. Not the UK.' @andreamiotti of @ControlAI & TBC o

Want more proof that Anthropic's PR has no idea what it's talking about? The talk of Mythos being 'their most aligned model ever'. They could perhaps truthfully speak about 'new high scores on our ali
