In what sense is Ukraine our ally? And I actually like Ukraine.

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.

Today I’m stepping down from xAI. I’m tired of watching men confuse the power to build something with the right to turn it loose on the rest of us. The people behind ChatGPT and Anthropic are gambling with our children’s future. They call it progress. I’d like to know what good progress is when there’s nothing left worth handing down. Every lab says it has to get there before the other guy. That’s not responsibility. That’s two fools racing toward a cliff, each afraid the other will get there first. I believe in making damn good things and standing behind them. You put your name on something, you own what comes after. You don’t get to burn the place down and leave your children holding the deed. We were supposed to leave this world better than we found it. I won’t help them finish it off. just kidding, I make cowboy boots
