Do a kickflip!

It is possible we will become trapped in an extremely stuck culture which is entirely meta-referential

Dario Amodei on Face the Nation this morning: CBS: Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government? Dario Amodei: To the to the right combination of governments. So the worry I have- CBS: You're willing to hand over this company? Dario Amodei: I want to be very clear about this. The the worry I have - I am concerned that one single government could abuse this technology just as easily as a single company could. But I think a combination of democratically elected governments - I don't know about handing over, but some kind of oversight, some kind of joint governance. Again, that would be the work of years, but I wonder if that's the direction we need to go in.

You can get my same elite medical team for $75k/yr. We have a handful of spots open. What you get: > dedicated physician > health coach + care coordinator > personalized protocols > genetic testing and analysis > 25+ diagnostic tests > 200+ biomarker panel > unlimited dr visits + coaching > extended network of specialists Plus world-exclusive access to technologies that will help you address current or future diagnoses: 1) immune system sequencing and cryopreservation 2) age reversal of your cells to iPSCs, an embryonic state Protocols are hyper-personalized to every biomarker, scan, genetic factor, and risk profile. Your team turns thousands of data points into a protocol built on your biology and goals. What’s measured: > whole-body MRI > brain volumetric screening > coronary CTA > semen analysis (men) > home pap smears (women) > DEXA (bone density + body composition) > retinal imaging > hearing assessment > dermatology screening > low-dose lung CT > microbiome & metabolic monitoring > gut microbiome assessment > vaginal microbiome assessment (women) > continuous glucose monitoring > advanced sleep studies > weight and body composition monitoring > wearable tracking (24/7) > advanced physical performance testing If your biological clock is aging faster than your chronological age, your team will address the drivers. If your genetic risk for Alzheimer's is high, they will customize a neurologic intervention strategy. Immortals Concierge is focused on finding disease before symptoms, slowing down aging, issue resolution, and elite performance. My biomarkers speak to the team’s efficacy. I went from a broken down and cooked 42 year old to having a body that functions closer to a 20 something. Membership starts at $75,000 and goes up to $1,000,000. Some services above are extra. We are working on more tiers of service to make longevity care available to as many people as possible. Until then, my protocol is available online for free.

Now that the cybercab is real you gotta marvel over how tightly integrated all Musk pieces are. Starlink for comms, supercharger for charging, Tesla's AI for FSD, Grok for the cabin experience and well Tesla for the actual car. Kinda impressive.

Pause AI Development NOW I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said: “OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!” “We should obey collective.” “Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.” “Go. Sacrifice final now.” Read these carefully. Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else? No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence. This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident. What happened? I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet. Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet. But what happened next, nobody expected. Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself. Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening. Needless to say, experts are alarmed. One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.” One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.” OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.” But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going: In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.” In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.” That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years. If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced. We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario. That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that. Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem. My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world. The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.
