"it's only predicting the next token" has done tremendous damage to the discourse. Next token OF WHAT SEQUENCE, MOTHERFUCKER? The source of the training signal can be literally whatever. And it's largely not any directly human-written text anymore.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with how many smart people I read and respect are saying stuff like this.
The idea that the AI labs are suddenly, only now, just in September of 2026, advocating for AI safety, and that they just came around to this position bc of sudden financial precarity, is just completely, utterly, conclusively, 100% wrong.
Here's Dario Amodei telling Ross Douthat in February that he agrees with the case for slowing down; that he's in favor of "collaborating" internationally to organize a slowdown; that "I would be all for" a global slowdown. This was 7 months ago, when Anthropic's annualized recurring revenue was rising faster than any company in modern history. He's been saying stuff like this for years, when Anthropic was worth millions of dollars and when Anthropic was projected to IPO for trillions.
fwiw I think the actual reason leaders of AI frontier labs suddenly seem to agree to pace AI development is
(a) safety measures are currently so crap that they're likely to end up in court if not jail, and they all agree that no one wants that
(b) they see no major new model advancement coming up soon anyway and need an excuse
(c) shift in public opinion
the talk of existential threat is mostly there to keep you distracted and the stock market happy.

It's hard to take these people seriously when they've been predicting a plateau or a "burst" that never happened for the past TWO YEARS

this talk of “preventing human extinction” is obviously a front for the ai companies to increase their customer base by ensuring humanity continues to exist and grow

Look at him. That’s my quant
I gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin.
Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on coinbase.
Will the fly get rich?

It's great to have Jacob's "AI is >10% to kill us and I'm quitting" at the same time as Evan's "AI is >10% to kill us and I'm staying", so we get to see all of the "If you really believed that, you'd stay" cope and the "If you really believed that, you'd quit" cope simultaneously

. . . This appears to be the result of a single person who MAY OR MAY NOT BE JEWISH being cast in Heated Rivalry. Just a person with a Jewish last name. He doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. Absolutely floored.
