We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

Two years ago, I left Compound Labs to found @superstatefunds with the goal to bring every financial asset on-chain, to integrate into DeFi protocols.
You might know us for t-bills, so today I'm proud to introduce the next asset that we're focused on:
Stocks. On-chain, in DeFi.

It was an honor to represent @coinfund at @ThetaInvest’s “Legends 4 Legends” charitable conference supporting Alternatives 4 Children. It was also my honor to interview “Cryptodad” @giancarloMKTS who delivered prescient political and regulatory insights. L4L is one of the very best global crypto conferences that features some of the most prominent investors in the space. I certainly learned quite a bit from presentations and talks. Thanks for having me!

Sincere thank you to the @ThetaInvest team for hosting such a well curated group at L4L in Amsterdam!
Focusing on plain speak education and debate rather than unfounded hype should be the standard for crypto conferences.
