      Everyday the Torment Nexus becomes less of a meme and more an accurate description.

      It really is amazing that more people aren’t simply kicking back to enjoy the time remaining. He’s dismayed because of egocentric drift (something humans fiercely police) in the study linked, how populating your social interactions with AI slowly convinces you of your exceptional… whatever. But the problem is so much bigger.

    3. The research said he “May pursue a poetry degree”

      Sounds like he is going to leave the world behind and live on a mountain top far from technology.

      I like him

      Seems like every week we hear about a fired AI safety whistleblower. Ohhh! Maybe they’re being replaced with AI AI safety experts, that’s fine then.

    5. Good thing he is a quitter and wont contribute to making it better or slowing down the perils.

    6. Before you assume it’s some warning against AI from a researcher fed up with Anthropic and concerned about its trajectory towards AI growth above all else, [read the resignation letter](https://x.com/MrinankSharma/status/2020881722003583421/photo/1). It’s clearly not only about AI, or only about Anthropic, it’s lots of things. The guy doesn’t appear to be enjoying what he’s doing and has some particular beliefs that he wants to explore.

      The headline is deliberately misleading. The quote is „*The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons […]*“.

      In the first footnote he cites a book by the author David J. Temple, where Google Books has this to say: *“David J. Temple is a pseudonym created for enabling ongoing collaborative authorship at the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, a leading international think tank whose mission is to address existential risk by articulating a shared universal story of value for global intimacy and global coordination. The Center focuses its work on a world philosophy, CosmoErotic Humanism, as the ground for a global vision of value, economics, politics, and spiritual coherence.“*

      I don’t usually trust when someone who is being paid for saving the world from dangers via political means claims that the world needs saving via political means.

      How do we know they aren’t self-serving?

      An engineer can demonstrate their value.

      But regulators?

      Every bureaucrat will tell you that you need an army of bureaucrats.

      The world will do just fine for billions of years to come. Humans on the other hand might not fair so well to the benefit of all other life on this world.

      Yo, every time AI doesn’t deliver ROI, this kind of shit pops up to distract the investors and postpone the inevitable bubble burst.

      Advancement in technology when in wrong hands could be a destructive force for the world.

      We have only a myopic understanding of the consequences caused by what we have created.

      This cycle too shall pass, however everything will get redefined. There is no safety when the top 1% leaches the rest.

    11. I dunno, it feels like every time some researcher quits from an ai company that is what they say. Its like, ruuun, the ai will eat your fucking children. Meanwhile I can’t get claude to reliably create a plantuml diagram.

      The billionaires are pushing this because they believe this will be needed so they can live without the rest of us.

      I have been saying for 3 years now – all of these AI companies have these doom warnings in the requirements for exit bonuses. OpenAI leavers have been warning about this for 3 years when leaving.

    14. talkstomuch on

      A person who was hired specifically to expect the worst outcome of AI, is expecting the worst outcome from AI.

      Everyone is shocked!

    15. Maybe I’m in a bad mood but like when one of very few people are even remotely in a position to influence the trajectory of a Very Bad Thing decide to piss off after having made what is certainly a phenomenal amount of money after working for a grueling… 2 years… does not leave me with a charitable impression. Like is there a scenario in the next 5 years where there is not a wave of disastrously massive layoffs, an imploded economy, or both? Would your interpretation of the nobility or integrity of bailing now be influenced by that? What are the odds that the next person will have a stronger moral compass or more power after this was aired publicly? Instead we get a self important goodbye written like a fucking riddle. Great.
