Glad to see you are citing non-biased sources .. Let's hear how that is ok in this case.... You call MSN or CNN biased and post American Thinker????

Every source is biased. That's human nature.

I've never caught the American Thinker lying about the Russian collusion hoax, 2020, J6, covid, masks, the jab, Biden's mental state, etc. The Leftist media repeatedly lied about all of it and continues to lie about almost everything daily.

It's about what news sources are more trustworthy. Those infected by TDS and with a long history of lying, and suppressing different ideas, are not.

You guys are the most biased group if people I have ever talked to about pretty much any subject. For your sources. Someone use MSN or CNN and it is a liberal conspiracy.

The world deserves confidence that American companies developing increasingly capable AI will act responsibly, especially as the trajectory of progress has steepened. Every frontier lab must deliver on this, and there is no reason any of us should come to work if we cannot.

We welcome a federal framework that sets consistent safety requirements for frontier AI. But we do not believe we need to wait for an anti-trust exemption or legislation to begin the work of providing this confidence. Consistent rules to manage frontier risk so that we can maximize the benefits are a good idea (and we are excited by ideas like independent auditors).

Years ago, companies like ours developed things like Responsible Scaling Policies and Preparedness Frameworks. Those were good for that moment, and focused primarily on the deployment of completed models, not what happens during their development process.

Today's shift to focusing on safe development and evaluation will need new tools. For example, at OpenAI we now formulate explicit safety cases in advance of frontier reinforcement learning runs we expect to significantly increase capability, in addition to the safety work we have long done in advance of model releases.

We hope that other companies will learn from our approaches and propose their own; we think shared standards for misalignment, monitoring, and safety will lead to better outcomes. We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues across the industry to formulate the best version of these.

When we talk about "pacing", we do not mean "stopping". Progress has been rapid and will continue to be. But it should be slower than it otherwise could be; interventions like safety cases and monitoring have significant costs.

Pacing will be well worth this cost; no amount of American competitive pressure should justify recklessness, or let capabilities get ahead of alignment and monitoring.

Where we will need the help of our government is for international coordination. But first we should do what we can ourselves.

Well… There's a motley crew

Interesting how many people want the feds to have more power. What they won't say but would be inevitable: the people would have less freedom.

This says more about those individuals than it says about AI.

BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, announces "limits" for future AI models through a new code of conduct after recent discussion around AI safety.

Details include:

1. Under the new code of conduct, Microsoft's models are subject to certain limitations

2. Their models must not entertain requests on weapons manufacturing, assist with the procurement of dangerous substances, encourage unhealthy eating, or produce violent or sexually explicit content

3. Models from Microsoft AI must adhere to people's objectives and "steer clear of creating their own goals"

4. Microsoft is also planning rules to prevent a cyberattack similar to the one carried out on startup Hugging Face

The AI safety discussion is shifting the industry.

I wonder how much Chiba is paying these politicians to oppose US AI development.

Artificial intelligence companies, executives, and aligned venture capital firms have pledged roughly $265 million to political groups and super PACs heading into the 2026 midterms. This represents an unprecedented wave of Silicon Valley money flowing to Washington, largely favoring Donald Trump and deregulation-friendly Republican groups: Direct AI Executive Inflows to Trump & Aligned GroupsUnlike previous election cycles, top leadership from major AI laboratories are contributing massive sums directly to the Trump-aligned machine:

[1] Greg Brockman (OpenAI): The OpenAI co-founder and president, along with his wife Anna, donated $25 million directly to the primary pro-Trump super PAC, MAGA

Sam Altman (OpenAI): The OpenAI CEO contributed $1 million to Donald Trump's inaugural fund following the 2024 election.

Other Tech Founders: Multimillion-dollar contributions to Trump and Republican efforts have rolled in from prominent tech executives and AI-adjacent investors, including Safra Catz ($1 million), Jan Koum ($5.1 million), and Douglas Leone ($3.8 million).

Pro-AI Industry Super PACs and Midterm PushBeyond direct checks to Trump's PACs, the AI industry is utilizing a playbook similar to the cryptocurrency lobby, pouring over $80 million into industry-specific super PACs to impact congressional races:

Leading the Future Super PAC: This main pro-AI industry super PAC raised over $50.3 million, heavily backed by a $50 million joint contribution from the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (whose founders strongly backed Trump) and another $25 million from Greg and Anna Brockman. The group heavily funds Republican candidates (and AI-friendly Democrats) while funding attack campaigns to unseat lawmakers trying to pass strict AI safety legislation.

Anthropic: The creators of the Claude AI model have directed at least $40 million through a dark money nonprofit called Public First Action, which commands a $100 million war chest aimed at shaping AI

)Innovation Council Action: Backed by Trump AI advisor David Sacks and led by former Trump campaign aide Taylor Budowich, this group was formed with the explicit goal of spending $100 million to support candidates who embrace Trump's vision of federal AI deregulation and accelerated data center construction.

President Trump calls Jensen mid-interview at the All-In Summit to say AI taking over the world is a hoax

Jensen: "Mr. President? I've got to tell you something. If it wasn't because of you calling, I would... I'm on stage with the besties."

Trump: "You see, the great thing about life is that Jensen can develop the most complex computer chip in the world that nobody can copy for 10 years, but he can't figure out how to put me on speaker."

"So, the AI, it's almost a conspiracy, and the happiest group is China, they're very happy."

"I'm telling you, it's all a hoax. The data centers are great and they make people wealthy and they make states wealthy and it's the oil of the next 20, 25 years. It's bigger than the Internet."

"The robots are not going to be taking over the world and that's not going to happen. The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax."

"Now, with that, we have to be a little bit careful, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop an industry. So I'm with you all the way."
