Is Dario Amodei's AI-safety oversight plan really a form of communism? Not literally—he isn't proposing state ownership or a planned economy—but handing frontier-AI oversight to an insular network of ideologically-aligned evaluators reveals the same instinct: a small circle of credentialed insiders deciding, on everyone else's behalf, what risks the public may take. The New York Post's account of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's proposed AI-safety oversight network raises a blunt question: when AI's leaders claim their systems may create a crisis beyond ordinary human control, why is their answer another insulated network of ideological insiders? The article portrays Amodei's preferred outside evaluator, Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR), as deeply connected to the Effective Altruism world, Anthropic's investors, and the same alignment-research community it is supposed to scrutinize. Meet Anthropic CEO…

AI Race to the Frontier – Amodei

AI Race to the Frontier - Amodei, BIG TECH SURVEILLANCE And The Coming Alien Biosecurity Regime, Government Precedents Behind Alien Encounter Response, Is the Government Prepared for an Alien Encounter, Will AI Eliminate My Job
Should AI companies deliberately slow down how fast they build smarter models? Yes—Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argues frontier labs must "pace the frontier," giving safety, alignment, and oversight enough time to catch up before capabilities outrun control, though his own evidence for an imminent catastrophe is thinner than his warning implies. Dario Amodei's essay is important because it marks a transition from general AI-safety advocacy to a direct request that frontier laboratories deliberately slow capability growth. His diagnosis is directionally persuasive: AI capabilities, agentic behavior, cyber risk, economic disruption, and the difficulty of evaluating increasingly strategic models are advancing faster than governance. His first recommendation—embedded independent evaluators—is realistic and immediately useful, but the rest of the plan becomes progressively less enforceable as it moves from one company, to an industry,…

How to Prepare for the Future of Employment in an AI Economy—Gina Raimondo

How to Prepare for the Future of Employment in an AI Economy—Gina Raimondo

Brookings AI Job Losses, Does AI Retraining Actually Work, Employer Leverage and Worker Bargaining Power, How to Prepare for the Future of Employment in an AI Economy—Gina Raimondo, Will AI Eliminate My Job
Can America win the AI race without hollowing out its own workforce? Not on the current path—Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warns the U.S. is "on track to win the AI race — and hollow itself out in the process," and calls AI a "100-year technology" that needs a 100-year worker strategy. But even her hopeful plan doesn't address what happens if AI permanently eliminates more jobs than any retraining program can replace. AI Economy: Raimondo’s Optimistic Warning Gina Raimondo’s TED2026 talk, A plan to stop AI from automating our decline, argues that the United States is "on track to win the AI race — and hollow itself out in the process." Her core insight is not that AI is inherently bad, but that deploying powerful technology without a serious strategy…

AI COULD KILL US ALL: Why an Anthropic Researcher's Exit Echoes a Darker Warning, Brookings AI Job Losses, Government Precedents Behind Alien Encounter Response, Is the Government Prepared for an Alien Encounter, Will AI Eliminate My Job
Did an Anthropic researcher really warn that AI could kill everyone? Yes—Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic saying the company and OpenAI are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives," and a current Anthropic safety lead has since agreed the extinction risk is real. That admission from inside the industry is what turns a warning like The Government's Plan to Contain the Alien Contagion's loss-of-control scenario from speculation into something insiders are now saying out loud. AI COULD KILL US ALL: What Jacob Coxon Said The headline sounds like science fiction, but the person sounding the alarm worked inside two of the world’s leading artificial-intelligence laboratories. Jacob Coxon announced that he had resigned from Anthropic after spending three years in pretraining research at Anthropic and OpenAI. His accusation…
