Scenes of flotsam and jetsam in the Bay Area. Some of the dog and pony show happening, safety theater, is in response to the public refusal & tech company backlash. It wasn’t expected I think. Watch as responsibility trends again and AI ethicists get hired back at companies that fired whole teams.

Instagram post from Lukas Graham. White text on pure black background reads: "It's hard to watch families in other parts of the world burying the people they love.

We should be able to speak about war, about civilians being killed, about children who deserve to grow up. Wherever they live. Whatever flag flies over them.

I grew up in Christiania, a small community in Denmark where speaking your mind was part of everyday life. Having more money didn't make your opinion worth more than anyone else's.

Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation. Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge.

I love Ed, and i'm grateful for everything we've shared. That hasn't changed. But I can't put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We're withdrawing from the remaining dates.

I'm sorry we won't be there. This is a difficult decision, but it's one I need to stand by."

The statement ends with three emojis of watermelons.

False

1. I literally quit my Google DeepMind job & lost >>$300k to call out harms regarding autonomous weapons... and extinction risk is still more important, which is why I'm speaking out + working to solve it

2. GDM does NOT want to stoke fears about extinction risks lol
