My rule that any statement which is followed by “Just saying” can be safely ignored remains almost entirely undefeated.

The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

I was happy to take the stage today at ALL IN for a keynote on Engineering honesty and reliability for safer AI to discuss our research agenda and recent funding 🇨🇦🇩🇪. As frontier models become more capable, we urgently need both societal governance and robust technical guardrails. At @LawZero_, we are actively working on solutions to ensure AI systems remain safely aligned with human interests. Thank you to @LarissaHolzki for a great conversation. Related

Last call! Enrollment for Cohort 2 of The AI Second Brain closes tonight at midnight PT Our next (and last) cohort this year starts Thursday Here's what you'll walk away with: • Stop re-explaining yourself to every new AI chat. Build one document it reads first, so it already knows you • Connect AI to your notes and files safely, so its answers come from your real situation, not a guess • Get every file and note organized once, synced everywhere, so you stop hunting for the right document • Capture your best ideas the moment they happen, so nothing gets buried in your inbox or forgotten by Fr… Related

Hey everyone, how do we feel about portents and omens? They're not real, right? Like they can be safely ignored, even hubristically scoffed at and mocked, yeah? Related

I hear roughly 3 reasons people keep working at AI labs despite believing in ~10% extinction risk: 1) Techno-determinism: Someone will build ASI no matter what, and I can do it better & more safely than China/OpenAI/etc 2) Consequentialism: ASI might kill us, but it also might produce utopia/immortality/superabundance, so it's a +EV bet 3) Self-interest: I am personally having fun & getting rich working on cool tech with friends. I don't think about the macro stuff. Notably, none of this is "I'm hyping up the risk for marketing reasons." People believe what they say, while being capable of a… Quoting @EvanHub Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Today, we're putting the cowboys out of business. Most builders in this country are decent people who take pride in their work and charge a fair price for it. But the small number who don’t follow the same pattern: take a big deposit, do half a job, then disappear with your hard-earned money. That's got to change. So we're backing a new system that gives you the option to have your money held safely and released bit by bit as the work is completed. Do the work, get paid. It's as simple as that. And we'll help our good builders stand out from the cowboys too. Tradespeople who meet our new set… Related

Waymo Co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov: The Demo Is Only 1% Of The Work
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
in Silicon Valley, there's a common mantra to move fast and break things. However, when you're dealing with atoms instead of bits, breaking things is not really okay. So, the thing you have to do is to move fast and ship safely.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
