My interpretation for you: OpenAI will now break the law by default in video, too, and make it as hard as possible to stop it. “OpenAI doesn’t plan to accept a blanket opt-out across all of an artist or studio’s work, the people familiar with the new Sora tool said.” 1/2

OpenAI says it will use copyrighted characters in Sora videos unless the IP owner opts out. If they get away with this, what is the point of copyright law? It will have been utterly broken by AI lobbying. Creative community must unite against this. wsj.com/tech/ai/openai…

Everyone ‘knows’ AGI will either make us all unemployed or fabulously wealthy. Except, a rather brilliant (and chilling) paper from a Yale economist suggests it's neither. It says the economy will boom, and our wages... won't. A bit awkward. I've been digging into this 2025…

BREAKING NEWS: New @betterup/Stanford study on absolutely nails part of why the ROI on GenAI has been so poor: “Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers. On social media, which is increasingly…

I think my favorite interview @ESYudkowsky and @So8res have done so far for the book has been for the Making Sense podcast with Sam Harris. Unfortunately the full episode is for subscribers only. Fortunately, as a subscriber, I can share the full thing :)👇

UNACCEPTABLE. This is absolutely unacceptable from a leading figure in the AGI race: he's telling you, in public, while being recorded, that there's a 25% chance he might kill you and your family. You don't need to believe him to find this utterly, profoundly unacceptable.

I really don't understand the people who cheer on the march towards such a joyless manufacturing of artifacts when we can all learn the joy of art instead. We're not only harming artists but making it such that we will get sold so much more joyless soulless stuff.

Comically long thread of incredibly random people recommending "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" starting with Yoshua Bengio, the most cited living scientist and one of the inventors of deep learning

Google DeepMind just dropped a paper on Virtual Agent Economies 👀 We are living in amazing, crazy times. A new economic layer is quietly coming online, a 'sandbox economy' where autonomous AI agents trade, negotiate, and build value with little to no human intervention.…

"We shouldn't allow companies, just because they have tremendous resources, to perform uncontrolled experiments on kids when the implications for their development can be so vast and far-reaching."

"If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" is now out. Read it today if you want to see with fresh eyes what's truly there, before others try to prime your brain to see something else instead!

Really important thread - please read. AI lobbying is stepping up a gear, announcing >$100M spending on pro-AI candidates. Politicians are quietly asking how to be ‘pro-AI’ as a result.

Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares' new book, IF ANYONE BUILDS IT, EVERYONE DIES, is out today. Here's what a few people have said about it:
