After everything that’s happened over the last two weeks… do you all think @DarioAmodei is going on @theallinpod to meet his bestie @Jason?

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.

Yesterday, @hilbertspaess resigned from Anthropic and said Anthropic and OpenAI are racing toward self-improving super intelligence without acting responsibly enough for what comes next. Some agreed with him. Some stayed and defended the work. Some questioned the forecasts behind the fear. Others pointed out why nobody can afford to slow down first. Here are some of the takes worth reading ↓

I turn 50 today. This is a message to my kids but I offer it to you in case any of it rings useful. I was born in Sri Lanka in 1976 in a country that, at the time, was about to enter a decades long civil war. My father was able to get stationed at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canada for four years in the early 80s - when some of the fighting was most severe - and which from our vantage point in Canada gave us some respite from an otherwise omnipresent conflict. He came as a diplomat but then my father filed for refugee status after four years when his life was threatened by militants. We stayed in Canada as refugees. My dad never really landed on his feet and we grew up on welfare. My mom stepped up. She did an incredible thing and put our family on her back and kept marching forward. Sometimes the steps were very small but she always tried to keep moving forward. I worked at Burger King starting at 14, giving my paycheck to my mom and dad to support our family in the role that I was assigned - earn enough to pay for our bus passes because we couldn’t afford a car. I was a loser growing up. Some friends, some good memories but mostly forgettable and lonely. I wasn’t very studious but did get my act together in my final year and got into a great university. I immigrated to the US soon after graduating and found an opportunity. Things clicked and I have been traveling a path to find myself ever since. Only in America is this possible… I worked hard, followed the rules, paid my taxes and stayed in California out of loyalty for the opportunities it has given me despite its dysfunction. I found my wife here. Had my kids here. Found my tribe here. There have been some very hard times as well - deaths, divorce, financial pain, mistakes of omission and mistakes of commission. You can’t dwell on these things - they are weights that will pull you down if you’re not careful. Learn from them. Respect them. BUT MOVE ON. To think 50 years ago I could have ever gotten a chance to meet the people I’ve met and have had the experiences I’ve had would have been mind boggling to my parents. It’s mind boggling to me now. We forget often and try to convince others it’s not true but America truly is the best country in the world. Everything and anything is possible here. I can testify. Be grateful to be here. This is the only place that gives EVERYONE a chance to live a great adventure. The first 50 years have been that for me - an incredible adventure. Notice there is nothing here about accomplishments or money. Because it doesn’t matter and it won’t matter. You will be dust in less than 100 years from now and the decision to be remembered won’t be yours so stop sweating it. It’s not in your control. So what is in your control? Be kind. Have fun. Work on something meaningful to you. Find your tribe. Try to find perspective. Find an incredible partner. Have a bunch of kids. Live an adventure. Forgive your parents - they were doing the best they could even if that wasn’t what you deserved. I will do what I can to make my next 50 years a wild ride. You should too. I love you and thank you. ❤️ 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is exactly the kind of research I’d love to hear @DarioAmodei unpack on @theallinpod. Reward hacking. Monitoring. Alignment training. What holds up as models scale. What Anthropic is actually seeing at the frontier. There’s a genuinely interesting conversation to be had here. @jason’s been inviting @DarioAmodei for ages. He just hasn’t shown up yet. Maybe we can change that.. Vote for Dario to appear on All-in ↓ dlogos.xyz/d/jason-loves-dar…

All-In (@theallinpod) has spent months talking about Anthropic. - AI safety - open models - the Pentagon fight - jobs - regulation They have even publicly invited @DarioAmodei over 12 times. Instead of another episode about him, should Dario finally go on the All-In pod to answer the Besties' questions directly?

Here is where the money you pay Anthropic is going. Hope you agree!! via Politico: “ANTHROPIC’S ANTI-AI BLITZ: The political war over AI is spilling deeper into the midterms — with one of the industry’s biggest players spending millions to warn voters about the technology it helped create. Anthropic-backed Public First Action has launched a new $2.5 million broadcast buy boosting GOP Sen. Ashley Moody across Florida, its first big general-election push, Will reports. The new ad, funded by an AI company, opens with an ominous warning: “Artificial intelligence is transforming our lives. And it’s moving faster than anyone can control. Coming for our jobs,” before invoking cloned voices, stolen faces and warnings from AI’s own creators — then praising Moody for backing legislation targeting deepfakes. Watch the ad It’s the latest ad in Anthropic’s broader political strategy, spending millions to push for tougher AI regulations and counter rival political groups backed by OpenAI leaders and investors that favor a lighter regulatory approach.”

David Sacks Predicts the Regulatory Capture Playbook to Ban Open Source AI, Step by Step: @DavidSacks: “I got bad news for you, Chamath, an open source ban is coming. They're not going to call it that. They're going to say that we simply have to apply the same standards to open models that we apply to closed ones. Here's how they do it step by step, let me explain how regulatory capture actually works. So first of all, you have to get this regulatory apparatus. Dario wants an FDA for AI, but he doesn't have enough political support for that, so instead they do this Trojan horse of a FINRA for AI. They call it self-regulating, it's not really, but anyway, that gets them off the ground. Now they've created the standard-setting organization. Now they've got pre-release model testing. Then the pressure grows to codify that in law, so that happens next. And then what they do is they say, ‘Look, all these standards need to apply equally to all models.’ But here's the problem with that. Open models and closed models are technologically different. Once you release an open model into the world, you can't roll it back and you can't monitor exactly how people are using it because they run it on their own hardware. Dario says this is what makes open models dangerous. So what they're going to do is they're going to have the standard-setting body say, ‘Well, we have to set the standards for AI safety.’ By the way, Dario and OpenAI, they're going to fund the whole thing. They're going to contribute all the compute. They're going to be behind it. They're going to be the ones coordinating with the government officials because frankly, people in government have no idea how to monitor and control and set standards for AI safety. Technologically, this is way beyond them. So they're going to go to these companies and say, ‘Tell us how to do it.’ And so what will happen is the standards will get set, and then it'll be a very simple matter of fairness to say that the standards need to apply to open as well as closed models. The open models cannot comply in the same way, and gradually they will be shut out of the market.”
