The approach vector [green] and an approximate trajectory [blue] of an aircraft [the second one] that had been doing a bombing run at the time of the 2023-10-17 Al-Ahli hospital explosion. 3 red pins - geolocated explosions, green pins - candidates for other 11 airstrikes.

A collection of alarming comments made *in the last four days* by seven different people who are inside the AI world ⬇️ Jacob Coxon, former AI researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” xitter.cf/hilbertspaess/status/2… Samuel Marks, Scalable Oversight lead at Anthropic: "AI developers believe their technology could cause human extinction (or similarly bad outcomes). This could happen in the next few years.” xitter.cf/saprmarks/status/20975… Evan Hubinger, Alignment Science lead at Anthropic: "Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!” xitter.cf/EvanHub/status/2097497… Alex Turner, former Research Scientist at Google DeepMind: "I left Google DeepMind in June. Jacob is right: many researchers believe they are building something that could kill everyone on the planet. It was literally my day job to think about how to stop that." xitter.cf/Turn_Trout/status/2097… Jakub Pachocki, Chief Scientist at OpenAI: "This is a time that calls for extreme caution. I am concerned no one is prepared for the consequences of a continued rapid rise in machine intelligence.” openai.com/index/an-alien-mi… Jason Wolfe, Researcher at OpenAI: "I don't know what my probabilities are on literal extinction, but I think there are a number of ways AI could go poorly for humanity, and at the current frankly terrifying pace humanity will be quite lucky if we manage to find and stay on the narrow path between all the bad outcomes.” xitter.cf/w01fe/status/209754613… Jonathan Richard Schwarz, former Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind: "I left DeepMind after 7 years (and since rejected offers to join the other two) due to severe concerns about the concentration of power these labs represent. What is currently happening in this field is deeply unhealthy for society.” xitter.cf/schwarzjn_/status/2097… (I made this unimpressive screenshot montage but linked to their thoughts in full above)

In a new report. @hrw has documented 23 verified incidents of Israeli use of white phosphorus over southern lebanon, between March and May 2026. hrw.org/news/2026/09/09/whit…

New poll in Palestine by the Jerusalem Media & Communications Center (JMCC) and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung: - Only 13.3% of Palestinians support armed resistance (armed intifada), while 55.8% support peaceful negotiations with Israel. Another 17.8% support nonviolent resistance.

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.

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.

Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it. So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages. Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to." Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.

BREAKING: Twelve countries issued a joint statement announcing national bans on trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements: 🇫🇷 France 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 🇨🇦 Canada 🇩🇰 Denmark 🇪🇸 Spain 🇫🇮 Finland 🇮🇪 Ireland 🇮🇸 Iceland 🇳🇴 Norway 🇵🇱 Poland 🇵🇹 Portugal 🇸🇪 Sweden Macron, UK PM Burnham, and Canadian PM Carney agreed the situation is deteriorating with "unprecedented" settler violence and settlement expansion, specifically calling the E1 project "inadmissible." They salute measures already taken by Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium. The statement demands Israel immediately stop settlement expansion, hold violent settlers accountable, and investigate allegations against Israeli forces. They "firmly oppose any action resulting in the annexation of Palestinian lands or forced displacement."
