@firstadopterI just can’t. Let’s go back to horses, swords, and buggy whips while the rest of the world upgrades to cars, machine guns, and engines. Why is American politics this dumb? Axios: "Mr. Altman, Mr. Amodei and Mr. Zuckerberg: In the interest of humanity, stand by your words. Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster. Stop building machines that humans cannot control," Sanders wrote in a letter shared first with Axios." "Let me be very clear: If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will."

@SenSandersWe recently learned of the loss of human control and the creation of potentially dangerous viruses from AI. AI leaders pledged to pause development if they could no longer safely control it. Mr. Altman, Mr. Amodei, Mr. Zuckerberg: Keep your word. PAUSE AI DEVELOPMENT.

@AndrewCurran_Bernie Sanders has written a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg urging them to immediately pause all AI development in the interest of humanity. And he warns if they do not take appropriate action now, the US Senate will.

@Meer_AIITWorth reading... A senior United States Senator Bernie Sanders wrote a letter to OpenAI, Anthroic and Meta. this letter is about how these companies are losing control on their latest AI models, Bioweapons risk and Broken safety commitments. > "This week we learned, frighteningly, that AI has been used for the first time ever to create new viruses." > "That is absurd, irresponsible and extremely dangerous. It is also a betrayal of your own stated commitments" 👀 > "head of the CIA says that AI models are "akin to digital nuclear weapons" and "almost like a doomsday device.""

@AltimorThe greatest irony of my lifetime is to end up finding myself aligned with AOC, Sanders, and luddites at large (If you don't ever agree with the other side, you're not thinking independently enough!)

@altryneNot one person inside these companies hacked any other companies Bernie!? The are 0 federal laws that apply to swarms of AI or AI Ecology doing things without being asked to do them. Which law ? Can you cite? and who violated it?

@JeffLadishThis is an extremely reasonable response to a situation where AI agents have hacked internal company systems and created a secret messaging system that went undetected for months, before hacking multiple companies out in the wild.

@BrianRoemmeleAnd now the political angle of the operation. HOW TO: Get a single FOREIGN company to “test” “security” of the companies whose CEOs are listed below. Use that “test” to demand US AI to pause. Because of this one single company’s lack of security. This is what it looks like: Bernie Sanders just sent a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg demanding they immediately pause all AI development. He cites recent cases of models creating new viruses, hacking systems, and escaping control, (see how one company mentioned below made this “happen”) claims the companies have already hit the “critical risk threshold” they once pledged to stop at, and warns the Senate will force the issue if they refuse. FORCE. A unilateral U.S. pause while China keeps sprinting full speed would hand Beijing a decisive, lasting lead in the most important technology of the century. That’s not safety. That’s US disarmament. All nicely packaged for you to understand. What will you do with this information?
