Apparently, for @AnthropicAI, 50 deaths and a billion dollars are simply a cost of doing business. This is unacceptable.

man, I'm really not a fan of this tbh. It seems kind but I really don't want unelected technocrats to possess so much power that they're literally going to distribute capital. end result is simple: Anthropic PBC will give out more $$ than entire governments. So citizens of smaller countries will be at the mercy of Anthropic PBC. horrible outcome.

Anthropic's proposed AI safety bill sets "killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people" as the risk threshold for blocking the release of an AI model In contrast, when a single patient (Jesse Gelsinger) died in a gene therapy clinical trial in 1999: - The institute that ran the trial was dissolved - The senior scientist running the trial was banned from clinical work for 5 years - Gene therapy saw deep cuts in funding and research activity for a decade Tech and biotech have just profoundly different cultures of risk. As AI companies increasingly engage with biomedical research, a culture clash is inevitable politico.com/news/2026/10/16/anthropic-ai-safety-01124654

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

Elon Musk just confirmed that its the beginning of Universal High income. Enjoy your last months before the abundance begins and we enter the golden era.

Dario Amodei: We may be only two or three years away from AI systems being better than humans at almost all tasks. “I call it a country of geniuses in a data center.” “Imagine tens of thousands of geniuses, smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across many fields.” “They could cure diseases and extend the human lifespan.” “I wouldn’t be surprised if we were able to double the human lifespan.” “They may even build robots for themselves and project themselves into the physical world.” “There are all kinds of questions around the balance of power.”

OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.

when did you first realize that Elon was a grifter? for me, it was the “verbal government approval” of a hyperloop back in 2017

You’ve put 20% of your equity in an LLC. Whether it serves the public good remains to be seen.

At @AnthropicAI this is like a koan to them and they love making a big show of grappling with it. Of course what they’ve already decided to actually do is try to take over the world as fast as they can regardless.

Agentic AI requires us to trust our emails and other messages and we really shouldn't. There is too much hidden content and AI models can’t tell the difference between text it’s supposed to read and instructions it’s supposed to follow. futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-agent-sucker-phishing-emails

BREAKING: Anthropic says "AI could push US GDP to $44 trillion by 2030" 70% chance of IPO this year

The biggest, most persistent lie here on X is that I am always wrong. I literally get attacked like (sample) below multiple times a day—but never with any concrete data. At most these accounts (some may be bots) point to one or two predictions that were wrong. And, you know what, some actually were, including one about the timing of the genAI bubble, another, though still arguable, about math) out of the hundreds I have made. Whereas @aipredictionx actually did the analysis – and found me to be the “the most accurate big name we track: 11 resolved AI predictions, 11 scored correct, including the million dollar bet that AI would not be smarter than any single human by the end of 2025” Either people like the guy below are lying about me, or they are really bad at data analysis. (Or both.) Ask yourself why so many people are motivated to lie about me.
