The canceled on us. Is that what happened?
Yeah. The SIOP canceled. He couldn't take the smoke. He did not wanna be cross examined by David Sachs. I haven't used my legal degree in twenty
five years. I was up all night doing research on this.
We can still talk about it.
I'm so ready. Yeah.
And let your winners ride. Rain man gave it time. And instead, we open sources to the fans, and they've just gone crazy with it. Love you, West. Of quinoa. Going all in. Facts. We have to talk about Anthropic. A researcher just quit over AI fears that he thinks could kill us all. Jacob Coxen worked as a researcher at OpenAI, then Anthropic over the past three years. Now he only started at Anthropic six weeks before resigning. After quitting, he posted the following to X. Quote, the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing
But, Jason, can you actually explain to me how does somebody who doesn't have any followers or an account show up on a Monday and get a 110,000,000 views on a Tuesday? How does that algorithmically happen?
That's a great question. We're gonna get into it. Evan Hubinger, who leads alignment science at Anthropic, responded to Jacob. Quote, Jacob is correct here. We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. Exclination point. I personally think it is over ten percent within the next decade. We do not yet have a plan to solve alignment. These two posts, 200,000,000 combined, and it immediately jumped. As I mentioned last week, these things are now jumping from x and the AI community to the nightly news in under twenty four hours. Bernie Sanders, never the one to waste a crisis, said post
No. I don't. And look, there's nothing new here. This is the same doomer histrionics that we've been hearing from this crowd for a long time. And, you know, the media is calling him a whistleblower, but what evidence has he brought forward that we didn't have? This is all just vibes from him. Show us the data. Show us the reports. Show us the leaked information that the public didn't already have. Show us the facts. Show us the evidence. We don't have any of that. In fact, as Chamath was alluding to, this appears to be an op. How do we know that? Well, first of all, this is an account that had
