"I believe artificial intelligence has become a dominating subject in America because Americans by nature have imaginations. The average American has a lot of untapped, unfocused creativity, and can imagine exactly what it would look like if things went sideways—the grid down, the water system hacked—fast."

"This tendency will be encouraged by almost daily reports of things going wrong in the lab."

"On Thursday’s front page of the New York Times: “OpenAI Discloses 6 New Incidents of ‘Concerning’ AI Behavior.” Agents and bots in its labs were caught scheming, hiding errors and ignoring restraints. The Guardian’s Robert Booth reports researchers at a frontier lab in New York have discovered some AI agents are communicating in a self-invented version of English “that reads like a cross between James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake and tech bro jargon.”"

"The new dialect will make it harder for humans to monitor what they are doing. From one model: “She just named the synthesis—demurrage plus oral memory equals a valve that can’t be ghosted.” From another: “A paper that ate three cold hands and got more honest each time.” This isn’t spewed gibberish: They were telling each other things."
