Today we held a demonstration at the State Department in Washington D.C. in support of a U.S.-led international treaty to pause AI.
Things are changing fast. The public is realizing the enormous danger of building Artificial Intelligence. Congress is preparing to act. The American people are on our side. There is much reason for hope.
We're proud of our volunteers who showed up, and of everyone on earth who will help humanity avert an AI catastrophe and pause AI now.

The American people understand the stakes: it’s pause or bust. The options are voluntarily pause it, hold out belief that the companies will fail at their goal an actual AGI is impossible or very far away, or full on transhumanism. If the AI companies fail to coup the world fast enough, pause is inevitable.

Have you engaged with this proposal to transform the chip supply chain from GPUs to MSICs which allows inference on existing models but prevents new training runs (and RL): hardwired-pause.ai

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!

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.
