In redder-than-red Idaho, this is a great sign that people are concerned and don't see AI risks primarily as a partisan issue. Well done everyone!
Proud of our volunteers in Boise who organized Idaho's first AI Safety protest last weekend! PauseAI NOW!
The world is listening, and our government is listening to our concerns about the dangers of AI. Anyone can help, and if you want to help, join us this December as we go to meet with our elected representatives in your home district!
We will train you, book your meetings, and connect you with other local volunteers. Apply for PauseCon Home here: pauseai-us.org/pausecon

So, any former Anthropic stans want to apologize? You really did a bad thing supporting them all this time bc it protected them from resistance. It was not costless or safe to take the position of trusting Anthropic and a good person who realizes this will feel remorse.

Mechanistic interpretability is not going to make anything safer if people are still able to apply their goals of taking dangerous risks to the AI system. Knowing more about AI is fundamentally dual use and could make it MORE dangerous. What makes AI safe (or keeps it paused forever, if necessary) is proper governance to keep it in line with the interests of the people it affects.
There was a time when it seemed like the problem would be the alienness of the AI itself. But even if AI were fully predictable and under our control we have no solved the problem of how some people want to use that power. Interpretability is not just a knowledge for safety— it could be the biggest capabilities unlock we’ve ever seen. The AI companies getting it is not something to celebrate.

Yeah I don’t really trust @OpenAI saying “🤩 get ready to stop worrying and trust OpenAI again 🤩”

A major project during a slowdown (a pause) is transforming the chip supply chain from a general-purpose chip that can do training and inference, to model-specific chips that can only do inference for a specific model. That way we can use existing capabilities, but can’t seamlessly keep escalating intelligence. This would also prevent reckless U.S.-China competition.

Big Tech oligarchs are secretly preparing for a “catastrophic AI event” that could threaten our banking, healthcare, internet, electricity and water systems.
They’re racing to build a technology they can’t control and that threatens humanity.
CONGRESS MUST PAUSE ADVANCED AI DEVELOPMENT NOW.

You should quit, @tszzl. This is wild cope— reading this, it sounds like you have to tell yourself this to be okay with what’s happening. Do not be part of this.

Scoop: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event…They assume one in ‘27…

Overton window goes FOOM. It was seen as wrong or too much to ask people to quit their jobs. It’s not their fault, we need a “good guy” on the inside.
Let’s be clear: If you’re on the inside, you’re not a good guy. There is no excuse that government is not listening, they are. There is no excuse that the public doesn’t get it, they do. There is no excuse that you can’t work on safety outside the labs, you can.
Staying is choosing to contribute to an easily foreseeable catastrophe, and it is morally wrong.
You have to toot your own horn or else people forget about you and don’t fund you. So, notice how people are getting famous for quitting their AI company jobs and everyone left is being told to quit?
I started that.
You cannot believe how much the so-called “AI Safety community” hated this at the time.

I believe that @OpenAI just committed perjury.
They were sworn in, under oath, and repeatedly said they supported the RAISE Act.
I guess they assume that no court will ever hold them accountable?
