On the same day Trump announces that top tech firms have signed an accord to "self-police" their own AI development, we learned that OpenAI employees and security researchers were reportedly ignored when they brought safety concerns to the company's top executives.

See the problem here?

OpenAI Ignored Employees’ Warnings About Safely Testing A.I. Models

Employees and security researchers said that they had cautioned the company on safely testing its A.I. models and strengthening its corporate infrastructure, but that OpenAI did not listen.

Rick Scott on AI: "Congress can't regulate this. We can't get election security passed or pass a budget, so we're not gonna be the ones to do it. It's gonna have to be done through the administration with talking to these AI companies."

If you take OpenAI’s Dot and have it communicate with another Dot, in scientific terms this is what we call connecting the dots.

There's a crowded-yet-limited anti-AI market. The book story was their only real breakthrough in recent times, it must feel like they have to double down at this point.

The conversation was fascinating. Mostly were habitual AI users for all sorts of small things like finding restaurants and planning travel, as well as research. Only one had used a music model, none had used AI to generate video or images, but they had seen lots on social media.

There was no negative attitude towards "AI slop", most found memes funny, and had shared AI stuff. Biggest concern was deepfakes by far, this one has really filtered through to their consciousness.
