Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

Today on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we honor the legacy of Black communities and HBCUs that sparked the fight for environmental justice. The Bullard Center continues that work, grounded in resistance, research, and community power. #BullardCenter #EnvironmentalJustice

Zip code shouldn’t determine health—but in the U.S., it still does.

Went old school in my Humans & Nature class @RooseveltU with a real chestnut: Blue Book exam, sans notes or books or devices. Felt refreshing. Students really cranked into it, or so it seemed. @SUSTatRU #BlueBookingIt

This by performance by Steve Goodman at Austin City Limits 1978 is just phenomenal. Acoustic guitar + voice + lyrics that range from hilarious to poignant to lovely. An absolute clinic in how to spellbind an audience. youtu.be/uqb1yn8kt00 via @YouTube

#GreenNewDeal for Chicago: no better time, no better place for #UrbanSustainability innovation and #EnvironmentalJustice #SUST340Policy #SUST310Energy
We must act boldly and quickly to move Chicago away from our reliance on fossil fuels, and ensure that everyone has access to clean energy alternatives. A #GreenNewDeal for Chicago means that we leave no one behind in the transition to a clean energy future.
