Last week I submitted github.com/rust-lang/rfcs… (a "strict" Future contract) and github.com/rust-lang/rfcs… (AsyncIterator::poll_progress) to fix Futurelock and related deadlocks at the source. Comments needed.

My favorite XKCD 690 compromise theory is that some but not all of the moon landings were fake.

OpenAI fired me last week, along with two of my safety colleagues. I was given one reason: that I accessed an executive's email. I want to say this plainly, because too many of OpenAI’s history is smoke and mirrors when people disappear:
Two other safety researchers and I were fired from OpenAI last week. We wrote this letter to leadership.

I believe we were fired for prioritizing safety over the near-term interests of OpenAI as a corporation.

Dario's essay points towards the right path forward. The details need working through, but the direction is correct for meeting this critical moment.

This is also why we recently put out our proposal for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI. x.com/demishassabis/…
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks.

Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.

Yesterday, my OpenAI collaborator and I gave a detailed talk on the Huggingface incident, our models creating "the message board", model misalignment, and more.

I hope it can answer a lot of the questions folks have, and we will release a full detailed postmortem at a later time!

At the core of our mission is working through how to ensure increasingly powerful AI benefits everyone.

We believe that, at some point in the future, AI acceleration for frontier model development may be so high that the world will need to pace the rate of AI advancement.

We hope to contribute to work led by the U.S. government, alongside other labs and the open-source community, to develop the tools and mechanisms that could make that possible.
