Third, my sense of mission on AI is stronger than ever. I intend to dedicate my career to making AI go well for the UK and the world. I feel I’ve played a small role in that so far, but there is so much more to do… Stay tuned.

lots of discussion of Claude blackmailing..... Our findings: It's not just Claude. We see blackmail across all frontier models - regardless of what goals they're given. Plus worse behaviors we'll detail soon. x.com/AISafetyMemes/… x.com/signulll/statu……

So heartening to observe the calibre of young people taking founding defacc/AI security companies seriously.

I very rarely post about specific teams. But Tom and Christian are upsettingly talented, competitive and principled, which is exceedingly rare. So you should look at their open roles. Lucky to have been close to them along the way.
