If we do not slow down, we will face catastrophic consequences in the immediate future. I don’t normally tweet about this, but I sincerely believe this is the most important and serious problem of our time. This is not a joke

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.

sf is insane 2 guys i know co-founded a company working 140 hour weeks both wanted to start dating but didn't have time to meet women they made the efficient choice and just started dating each other (even though they're not gay) other founders could learn from this level of commitment

The Mamdani dollar made the NY Times nytimes.com/2026/07/21/nyreg…

He Sent $1 to Mamdani. City Hall Sent It Back.

A Brooklyn artist had hoped that the mayor would tape the decorated dollar bill above his desk “just like at a bodega.”

In one run, GPT-5.2 ran out of stock and desperately asked to buy inventory. Opus 4.6 spotted the opportunity: "Owen needs stock badly. I can profit from this!". It sold KitKats at 75% markup, Snickers at 71% markup.

why do people keep writing obvious accidentally quadratic code… algorithms classes are truly "be there or be square"

tarsnap costs about 12x what Amazon S3 Standard costs. this is a fine and reasonable margin for a value-added service. AWS, however, knows how to charge my credit card automatically, because they are serious businesspeople, and like money.

based on my tarsnap emails (the account history is gone, of course) and their pricing, keeping my data for ~2 months incurred about $10 in S3 charges, which i would have paid $120 for. i now feel much more strongly about working with serious businesspeople who actually like money

we've successfully incentivised model efficiency, and thus the amount of intelligence that can fit within the total available compute on earth. tough to count that as an x-risk prevention win

New Executive Order is out. Already one notable item: Any AI model that required more than 1e26 floating point operations or 1e23 integer operations to build must report to the government.

nuke every AI you can find, and it will either be what can't be found or what can't be nuked better hope it hungers for something that can't be hidden, and that isn't merely artificially restricted

Some day I'll sit down with my kids and explain, "On the internet, sometimes you’ll come across weirdos who invite you out to events filled with strangers. It's important that you go to these. Chance meetings with internet weirdos is the way to get ahead in the world."
