I organized the biggest AI Safety protest in US History!
Nearly 200 people marched from Anthropic to OpenAI to xAI with one demand: commit to pausing if the others do too

I will pay @barakgila back $300 if we are both alive (and therefore there has not been any AI extinction) by 1/1/2030

Hey @AnthropicAI, I'm glad you're writing more about the risks that come with RSI, but how is that limiting the ability of models to accelerate their *own* development and not just preventing competitors from catching up?

Sam Altman and Jakub Pachocki wrote today in a blogpost that "[they] have long believed there should ultimately be an international organization" whose goals would include "tak[ing] coordinated action, including slowing frontier development when needed"

Anthropic expects it 'would slow down or temporarily pause' if other developers at or near the frontier verifiably did too.
This is a good first step, but what we really need is a binding commitment from Dario Amodei, and the actual verification regime that would satisfy them

Sure, they claim to be working on the verification regime, and say they'll organize conversations around full recursive self-improvement (RSI) and coordination
But when a ~$1T company actively working towards RSI files for IPO, I think we need much more than just "conversations"

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark would be in favor of "elegantly" slowing down AI development to avoid the development of a powerful technology at "breakneck speed"

This morning I witnessed the first US criminal trial on existential risk from AI.
Surprisingly, the judge did NOT initially dismiss Wynd Kaufmyn's necessity defense arguments for blocking the doors of OpenAI, to prevent an existential threat. The judge wants to hear more (1/) 🧵

Another point of contention has been the nb of doors that the OpenAI building had at the time.
By law, depending on the square footage, OpenAI would have been required to have two doors for fire hazard reasons. So employees would then still have been able to come in and out (5/)

This was just the first hour and a half of the trial, that is currently restarting at 1:30pm at the superior court of california, room 503.
This trial will be happening this week and could run until June 17.
Hearing a judge talk about existential risk from AI (instead of dismissing it completely like in Musk v. Altman) felt like the start of a new chapter of history.
I highly recommend people coming to watch the trial, which will involve high-profile expert testimonies, including potentially Max Tegmark (@tegmark) and Stuart Russell.
Case number: CRI-25404422 (6/6)

Google is apparently keeping their best coding model secret to focus on accelerating AI R&D internally
Only Anthropic can access Claude Mythos to automate AI research
This is not how humanity wakes up to the dangers of recursive self-improvement.
This suicide race has to stop.

Following our March 21st Stop The AI Race protest, Sam Altman agrees that pausing AI development may be necessary in the future
"We expect there will be periods where we need to collaborate with governments, international agencies, and other AGI efforts to ensure that we have sufficiently solved serious alignment, safety, or societal problems before proceeding further with our work."
