If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because “it’s happening anyway” - or take this moment to call for different conditions?

I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.

Accepting this race and entering the “endgame” is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company’s Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available.

A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

THE BODY MANUAL NOBODY HANDED YOU: 1. Can't fall asleep ⟶ Blink rapidly for 60 seconds. Eyes tire, brain follows. 2. Back pain from sitting ⟶ Squeeze your glutes for 30 seconds. Spine realigns itself. 3. Eyes tired from screens ⟶ Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Tension releases immediately. 4. Hands shaking from anxiety ⟶ Press your fingertips together hard. Nervous system calms down. 5. Headache behind your eyes ⟶ Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Jaw releases, pain fades. 6. Feeling nauseous ⟶ Press firmly on the inside of your wrist. Nausea signal to the brain cuts off. 7. Hiccups won't stop ⟶ Hold breath, swallow twice, exhale slowly. Diaphragm resets. 8. Mind goes blank mid-sentence ⟶ Look up and to the left. Memory retrieval speeds up instantly. 9. Ears ringing after loud noise ⟶ Cup your palms over your ears, tap the back of your skull. Ringing fades in seconds. 10. Jaw clenching from stress ⟶ Tongue flat to the roof of your mouth. Jaw cannot stay tight. 11. Lightheaded standing up ⟶ Clench your thighs before you rise. Blood pressure holds before it drops. 12. Can't stop coughing ⟶ Press your thumb on your wrist pulse point. Cough reflex weakens fast. 13. Knees aching after sitting ⟶ Walk backwards for 30 seconds. Knee compression releases in reverse. 14. Eyes twitching ⟶ Press gently on the closed eyelid for 10 seconds. Almost always stress or magnesium deficiency. 15. Waking up at 3am every night ⟶ Your liver is overloaded. Cut sugar, alcohol, late meals. It's not insomnia. It's your body asking for help.

Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail. She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage. Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists. She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment. This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action. Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call. - @multiplanet1

Thank you for the gift

Dilip Kumar Singh bought a ₹50 lakh life insurance policy from HDFC Life in June 2015. Two months later, on August 16, 2015, he was returning from Omkareshwar to Ujjain at night. His vehicle met with an accident. He died at the scene. Severe head injury. His wife, Neeta Singh, filed the death claim. HDFC Life rejected it. Their reason: Dilip had not disclosed that he had diabetes, coronary artery disease, triple vessel disease, and had previously undergone angioplasty. He died in a road accident. His heart had nothing to do with it. The State Commission dismissed Neeta's claim. She appealed to NCDRC. In November 2024, NCDRC reversed the decision. The bench said: "The DLI died from a road accident, which is entirely independent of his undisclosed ailments. The insurance company's repudiation of the claim is untenable." HDFC Life was ordered to pay ₹50 lakh with 9% interest from the date of complaint. He had heart disease. He died in a car accident. HDFC Life used his heart to deny his wife's claim for a death caused by a road. Save this — if your insured family member dies in an accident, the insurer cannot reject the claim citing unrelated health conditions. The cause of death is what matters. Not the medical history.
