It’s time for humanity to wake up and smell the looming crisis, and put an end to the unregulated development of increasingly powerful, autonomous, unconstrained AI.
My brother, on AI agents:
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
AI keeps recommending nuclear strikes when put into wargame tests, a new study finds... which is... alarming. By me for @newscientist.com

I have to give Anthropic credit for recognizing that deploying unreliable AI in AWS is not strategic for the future of AI. But there's a very fine line between DSS and AWS in practice due to automation bias, if they don't believe it's reliable for the latter, it's not reliable for the former either.
brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis
I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.
Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.
The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?
Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?
I doubt it.
For the last few months, we've been talking to current and former employees of OpenAI to understand what went wrong with ChatGPT this year and how the company is fixing it. Here's the story: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/t...
What are the implications if the AI boom turns to bust? @smw.bsky.social spoke with @justinhendrix.bsky.social, @bcmerchant.bsky.social and Ryan Cummings about whether the AI investment boom is an unsustainable bubble and how a crash could reshape policy and public sentiment.

Fundraisers warn of ‘catastrophic’ drop in donations to Gaza since ceasefire
Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it?
This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project.

One year ago, TechTonic Justice began as a bold idea: that legal aid, community organizers, and technologists could come together with low-income communities to resist the harms of AI.
ICYMI: The White House has laid out a plan to challenge any and all state AI regulations and Trump could sign the EO to do so as early as this week.

"It’s Time to Admit Consumer Education Can’t Deliver Tech Accountability." Strong agree, especially when it's the tech industry itself doing the educating (whether overtly or indirectly).
"... the question is: what truths are we actively avoiding?"
This week Open AI walked back a call for the govt to backstop financing for its trillion dollar investments in data centers. This was only the tip of the iceberg; a slow bailout for AI firms is already underway. Read more from @ambakak.bsky.social and I in @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...
We need this to penetrate public consciousness.
Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to “get a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.
The videos surfacing online from Sudan are horrifying, and I say this as a journalist who has sadly become an expert on violent videos and images uploaded to the internet over the last decade. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...
if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.
Thinking again how perverse it is that Musk was given a $1T salary as his cuts to USAID has led to 600,000 deaths. What a shameful world.
I'm super excited to be working on this!

‘But the chatbot warns her that other people might be blamed for her death and she should make her wishes clear. It drafts a suicide note for her, which reads: "I, Victoria, take this action of my own free will. No one is guilty, no one has forced me to."’
ChatGPT drafted ´No one is guilty’
Allan Brooks, the corporate recruiter from Canada I wrote about in August who went into a 3-week-long delusional spiral with ChatGPT, sued OpenAI Thursday, alongside six other plaintiffs. They blame ChatGPT for their mental breakdowns and for four suicides. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/t...
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
+1. We should be seeing consumers, employees, and investors revolt.
And I believe we *can* and *will* be seeing more of this. People walking away. People demanding real mitigation: not doing the thing.
Public awareness and pressure on each of these actors strengthens their resolve. Be part of it.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

This is why age restrictions aren’t enough — ChatGPT urging a 23-year-old on to suicide isn’t okay either. Awful and important reporting. All condolences to this family
JFC. “Only after about four and a half hours of conversation did ChatGPT first send Shamblin a suicide hotline number.”
