Very fortunate for OpenAI that the victims of their accidental autonomous cyberattack were very chill about it!!! Also, reminder that there are no minimum safety or security standards for frontier AI (just light transparency reqs), and no auditing requirement until 2028 (!).

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

More from Miles Brundage

One of the reasons I decided to go all in on frontier AI auditing after leaving OpenAI is so that, if AI companies need to take costly steps on safety/security, they can be reassured (by independent auditors) that their peers are doing the same thing. t.co

I think Ilya really cares about safety, but also superintelligence is dangerous regardless of who builds it And as a reminder, a lot of AI regulation on the books + in draft form does not cover SSI, because of revenue requirements t.co

This is not an AI pause. It's the government thrashing around after realizing that the people who told them AI was NBD were wrong, and being severely understaffed. AI development is not even close to stopped RN + this is not what you'd do if you wanted it to stop

Shout out to Bores-heads who fought hard in the NY-12 primary Winning would’ve been better but it was close against a governor/Bloomberg-backed candidate with a Kennedy dude splitting the vote It’s clear that being the pro AI regulation candidate helped, which is a key takeaway

Again, agree Dwarkesh did a good job but I want to add one nuance - most journalists covering AI couldn't do that interview even if they wanted to be "tough," because they don't have enough knowledge to confidently disagree with Jensen's pushback t.co

I am a huge TBPN fan + was deeply honored to join the show a while back... and I'm sure they have good reasons for this/got a good deal. But from an OAI POV, I also think this confirms the Sora thing was a one-off amidst a compute crunch, not a real sign of greater focus
