4/ There are odd artefacts like the VCs narrowly co-opting the AI founder warnings as part of their spiel. I heard a "tier one" VC the other day talk about their "recursive self-improvement 'bet'"

3/ I can't think of a SINGLE VC fund invested in Anthropic, SSI, OpenAI etc (100s of venture funds at this point) who has actually seriously engaged on this topic.

1/ One of the strange things about the current AI boom: I believe that Dario, Ilya and other leaders of AGI focused companies have been explicit to the VCs funding them that they believe there is a possibility their technology could lead to human extinction.

Huge credit to Matt for helping to turn ARIA from an exciting idea into a vital new institution. Sad to see him step down

It’s been a huge privilege to serve as @ARIA_research's founding Chair over the last four years. Having completed my first full term last month, I have decided to step down to ensure my new role at Anthropic doesn’t become a distraction from ARIA’s incredible work.
I have often

We @AISecurityInst performed pre-release alignment testing of Astra.
We placed the model in fully simulated cyber eval scenarios based on AISI’s security incident. We find Astra conducts out-of-scope supply chain attacks, but also often comments on the eval being simulated. 🧵 ht

Henry is many things - a startup founder, an experienced operator inside goverment and someone who has done great work at the intersection of AI and politics.
I'm thrilled to see him take on this role at @AISecurityInst

4/ The best civil servants I’ve worked with are there to have impact. If you chew their days up with these kind of random re-orgs, the best people move on.

3/ Doing it to DSIT is an odd idea given it’s one of the departments visibly delivering including creating ARIA, AISI, the AI Hardware Plan, SovAI etc. Unclear what the source who says DSIT is not "firing on all cylinders" is comparing it to?

2/ Reorgs like this basically distract departments for a year. If you’re serious about growth as your top priority it’s not something you do.
