"I agree with President Trump's tweet that global warming doomsday scenarios were overplayed." Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon tells @seanhannity that past catastrophic warnings have amounted to "fear mongering," but argues AI is different because of how quickly the technology is advancing. "We won't have time to respond to it before it's too late."

"The alternative could be catastrophic." Anthropic whistleblower Jacob Coxon tells @seanhannity the U.S. and China need a major deal on AI, as fears of the technology spiraling out of control and threatening humanity rattle some in government. "I think President Trump could be a great person to make a deal in the immediate future."

"I fear the rate of progress with this technology." Former Anthropic researcher turned AI whistleblower Jacob Coxon joins @seanhannity after leaving the company, sounding the alarm over the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and the potential risks ahead. "AI is the only technology that can use itself."

"We know how to control nuclear weapons... We don't yet know how to control AI." Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who recently left the company, is sounding the alarm on artificial intelligence, calling it "possibly the most dangerous technology that humanity has ever created." Coxon, who says he spent three years conducting research at Anthropic and OpenAI, wrote in a viral post on X that the companies are more focused on beating each other to build the most advanced AI models than they are on safety. He says an international AI arms race would be "disastrous," arguing global cooperation is the only way to manage the rapidly advancing technology. @SpecialReport

If you are a Democrat: I beg you, do not throw out barbs at Republicans about this issue. Ask them to join with you on this common interest. If you are a Republican: Defend your country, your people, your home and your family from death.

Molasses Tank Co.: Our tanks might burst, inundate a whole street with molasses and kill a few people. News reporter: Critics say that Molasses Tank Co. says these things to play up how capacious their tanks are, and attract hype and investors. @tagesschau @TorbenBoergers

@Cryo_Podcast I was listening to Max on the Clearer Thinking podcast. Re. conditions for revival: ‘Revive me after N ppl have been revived successfully’ seems like a problematic condition. What if revival has been tried with 100·N ppl and there happened to be N successes? (1/~3)

Also, it would be better to have a euthanasia/re-preservation provision: If I get revived and my brain function is worse than expected (possibly to a degree where I can't speak for myself), I wouldn't want to have to (by law) be maintained in that state. (3/4)

Anyhow, just some uninformed pedantry by a cryo outsider. (4/4)

No wonder prices are rising in Germany. They have to keep up with the size of the receipts. This one is for two pieces of cheese.

To identify viruses capable of igniting new pandemics is to share blueprints for an arsenal of plagues. In a new @SamHarrisOrg podcast with @Rob_Reid, we explain how @USAID's DEEP VZN program is inadvertently trying to do just that. samharris.org/podcasts/makin…

USAID wants to find a lot of yet-unknown virus species, find out which are most likely to cause pandemics, then share the results with everyone, including genetic sequences. If I was a bad guy, I would like that. samharris.org/podcasts/makin…

@jockowillink, thanks for not taking sides politically (politics-wise?) in the 1984 episode. And thanks for taking sides for freedom, and against extremism, totalitarianism and ideology. Here is more relevant Orewell: orwell.ru/library/essays/pol… (Politics and the English Language)

Hi @saeah, there is a collection of strange links under your picture on your homepage. Looks like some bad person went in and made changes. I suggest fixing it.

Hi @catherineols, on the 80k podcast you talked about management being important for research teams. Here's more fuel for that train of though: wsj.com/articles/the-economy…
