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.

I was proud to be part of ICE and DHS sir when we implemented secure communities. How did that devolve into this?

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.
A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making.
11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵

The Trump administration has secretly merged the personal data of millions of Americans into massive government databases, violating the Privacy Act.
So alongside @DemocracyFwd and @fairerelections, we're representing plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit.citizensforethics.org/legal-…

This is journalist Karen Attiah, the only Black opinion columnist at the Washington Post. She was just fired for sharing a statement made by Charlie Kirk insulting Black women.
RETWEET if you stand with @KarenAttiah!
Bill Pratt retweeted
The Washington Post fired Karen Attiah because she quoted Charlie Kirk, saying, "Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot."
She added no comment -- merely an ACCURATE quote.

If there was one video I would urge you to watch today it would be this from @ezraklein in a @nytopinion piece. It’s 14 minutes long, but it is a defining piece which asks some critical questions about who Democrats are.
Judgement day for Democratic leadership is approaching. The question is, will leadership join Republican tyrants to perpetuate the tyranny and play the self preservation game, or will they say, enough is enough?
No more pathetic chants of ‘We will win’. It’s time to stand up and say NO, we will not be complicit in the rape of our democracy and the abandonment of the vulnerable to a tyrant.

Trump vigorously opposed Biden's infrastructure program, calling it "a loser for the USA." But now that projects are being built, he's putting his own name on them, claiming credit for the law he tried to kill. @RichardFausset

MUST WATCH: Ezra Klein lists out all the major scandals of Trump’s second term and how he is corrupting government to serve his own interests. Trump moves fast to distract you in hopes you’ll forget what he’s done. Everyone needs to watch this.

There is no reason why we should have a lower life expectancy than every other major country while spending nearly 2x as much per capita on health care.
The function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care for ALL, not make insurance and drug companies rich.

Question:
Are you ok with Trump spending $200,000,000.00 on a Gold- plated Ballroom at the White House while also cutting school meals for millions of needy children and Medicaid for millions of poor Americans?

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee passed a bill banning stock trading in both the legislative and executive offices, 8-7, paving its way for a full Senate vote.
Congress: ban congressional stock trading now!

A disappearing IG complaint about Emil Bove? What, “the dog ate it”? This Emil Bove mess could not smell much worse, until you sniff out the rest of the story.

There is a serious flaw in the morality of our country when a child trafficker and rapist is transferred to a minimum security prison but an abuelita, who’s only crime was crossing the border 40 years ago, is rotting away in Alligator Alcatraz.

A new statement from the family of Virginia Giuffre and several of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s accusers:
“It is with horror and outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has received. Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency. Yet, without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas. This is the justice system failing victims right before our eyes. The American public should be enraged by the preferential treatment being given to a pedophile and a criminally charged child sex offender. The Trump administration should not credit a word Maxwell says, as the government itself sought charges against Maxwell for being a serial liar. This move smacks of a cover up. The victims deserve better.”
