Member of Operations Staff, Manager at Anthropic; commenter on the July 2026 Pacing the Frontier statement.

These are the facts: 1. The AI industry has the explicit goal of building things smarter than humans. 2. On many metrics (but nowhere close to all metrics), LLMs are already smarter than humans. 3. None of us yet know how to make sure these things stay under human control and/or take actions only aligned with the wellbeing of humanity. This is, objectively, an insane and suicidal thing to do, especially without any international governance measures in place.
