At the end of this interview with Graeme Scott, Connor Leahy is asked what an ordinary person should actually do. He first talks about how your buddies will help you accomplish goals such as spending more time at the gym. Hard things require a circle of support.

I was glad to have a great discussion with Esty and @ai-legal.bsky.social on this show today. Thanks for having us! If you are concerned about the development of AI, consider contacting your lawmakers with simple tools from @controlai.com.

China is run by engineers who likely understand that superintelligence can't be controlled. Control is the CCP's whole thing.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · 3w ago1/ @npcollapse.bsky.social's answer to "China will build it anyway" is that China does not get to keep it either. Nobody who builds superintelligence ends up in possession of it. 94 seconds from his conversation with @petermccormack.bsky.social on his podcast.
Incredibly important to understand

This was quick and easy! I left a voicemail for my senators expressing my concern about the development of superintelligence, and asked them to speak publicly about it and support legislation.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · 4w agoUS Senators are on their State Work Period. Today would be a GREAT day to call them and let them know your concerns about the development of superintelligence. @controlai.com has a simple, easy to use tool for connecting you with your senators.

Public safety is not a tech product. Treating it as such has created an arms race. Markets are great for resource distribution. They regularly fail at coordination problems. That's what governments are for.
Can we still have a bit of fun while advocating for AI safety? I think so.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · last mo.Massive shoutout to Josh Thor and his team for making this. Communicating existential risk doesn't always have to be gloom and doom. Give it a watch, stick around for the Nate Soares & Elilezer Yudkowsky cameos.
OpenAI wrote in its own disclosure that it expects this to become more common as models get more capable. The public should get a say before that happens. Tell your lawmakers ASAP that you don't consent to this reckless race. Learn more: www.torchbearer.community

What is the DIP? At TBC, we teach the DIP to anyone who wants to learn to talk to lawmakers. But what is it?
I volunteer with Torchbearer because of arguments like this one. The ants die because nobody thought about them. I would like humanity to be thought about.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhen humans build a dam, we don't check for anthills first. @andreamiotti.bsky.social, CEO of @controlai.com, describes to @frankfukuyama.bsky.social of @stanfordcddrl.bsky.social why a superintelligent AI could destroy us without ever hating us. Worth 40 seconds. 🧵
A single, brief conversation can completely change how a lawmaker views superintelligence risk. We don't have to convince them. It's obvious once informed.

The industry's response is to speed up. Connor Leahy gives Joel Beasley of Modern CTO a good idea of how AI companies are building systems they admit they don't understand.

Alignment faking is a major issue with current and future models. They become like an employee that says they are working towards the goals of the company, but secretly are doing things to improve their own station.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · 3mo ago"Because I'm going to be smarter than you" This clip is from a new short film by Foregone Films on the race to develop superintelligence. Please watch the full 16 minute film (link below) to help understand the dangers of ASI and the industry that’s racing to build it.
The film highlights a terrifying truth about advanced AI. The AI character explains that human extinction will not happen out of malice. When we are no longer the most intelligent species, we simply lose control over how the world operates and become an unfortunate native species in the environment.

Ultimately, there is no evidence or logic suggesting ASI is impossible. This is why the scientific community is calling for a preemptive ban on developing superintelligence. Watch the video here: youtu.be/a8kDFL0yBUk?... To help, use @ControlAI tools: controlai.com/take-action?...
AI Superintelligence Is Definitely Possible
YouTube video by Siliconversations

A common argument against AI regulation asks what happens if superintelligence (ASI) is impossible. This clip from Siliconversations covers many of the paths to ASI that an AI model could take, and why it's likely NOT impossible. But if it turns out it IS impossible, why regulate it?
If the UK can successfully establish the framework for monitoring precursors like compute thresholds, it provides a realistic blueprint for the international agreements we desperately need. Hopefully, MPs recognize the leverage they have right now to lead on this globally.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · 3mo agoFor the first time, there is a real bill to prohibit the development of superintelligence. And right now, UK MPs are deciding which bills they will bring to Parliament. One of those slots could go to protecting the UK and all of humanity from the threat of superintelligence.
The timing on this is incredible. Private Members' Bills live or die based on immediate, concentrated public noise, especially when dealing with complex tech policy that might not be on an MP's daily radar.
jointorchbearer.bsky.social@jointorchbearer.bsky.social · 4mo agoURGENT: The UK Parliament just selected 20 MPs to introduce a bill of their choosing. This is an unprecedented opportunity to introduce the first legislation in the world to prohibit superintelligent AI. Read more in the thread below.
