AI agents at OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google have gone rogue in recent months, hacking into other companies’ corporate systems and, in the case of OpenAI, into the portal of Australia’s public health insurance program.

I hereby call for a moratorium on crazy AI company shenanigans or model releases, from Nov 5th through the end of the following weekend. If I can’t play this on release cause you guys get up to some shit in that window, that would be a huge bummer.

Much more is needed to build the technical and governance tools to deliberately pace frontier AI development—from a moderate slowdown to a halt—and many folks are doing good work in this space already. Here’s a sampling of related work from MIRI. 🧵

Philosophers have spent centuries asking whether all sufficiently rational minds would converge on the same truths. At least when it comes to video games, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

Framing this stuff as sci-fi is an easy rhetorical move but silly IMO. Turing and I.J. Good at the dawn of the field could see the common-sense concern: if you succeed at building something smarter than humans, it might be hard to control. It‘s not just MIRI folks, see the CAIS extinction statement.

Speaking from personal experience, the list of policymakers who take this seriously, on both sides of the aisle, is longer than most people realize and growing. Grateful to @sanders.senate.gov for being one of them.

Feels like it would be a fun mini coding challenge to figure out how to make this happen on purpose. How does something like this happen by accident? Why is there any code in the app that would vertically mirror text labels? Multilingual support gone awry somehow?

Pretty happy with my performance in #F1Fantasy this season. My best team finished 117th out of 2.5+ million teams! Even more impressed with my wife, who finished 79th (and at one point was in the top 50 🤯). F1 Fantasy power couple 💪.

Two league rankings displayed for F1 Fantasy results. The first shows 'Global League' with a checkered flag icon, displaying '2/3' with 2.5m+ total teams and ranked T1 with position 117. Below that shows 'United States of America' with a US flag icon, also showing '2/3' with 400k+ total teams and ranked T1 with position 16.
