I’ve lived in two worlds for a while now.
One filled with yoga mats, breathwork, and quiet.
The other with prompts, tools, and teaching people how to use AI.
This space brings both together.
You’ll find posts here on:
teaching GenAI,
building simple tools for your business with NoCode,
running workshops,
hosting retreats,
and slowly rebuilding a life that’s ME and keeps me close to my Joy.
I’ve also got a free YouTube channel where I teach yoga and GenAI in a way that’s calm, clear, and easy to follow.
You’re welcome to subscribe and learn at your own pace: piped.video/@easeintoai?si=w…

I know I'm late to this one, but most people on Earth haven't seen it.
Those of us who follow this stuff are the lucky few.
If you've got people in your life who don't know what's happening in these labs, this is the one to send them.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Beyond grateful to humans Like Mikey F. who remind us that in a world full of AI agents, one of the most powerful responses is to engage our humanity.
To remember where our power lies, and to use our innate inner capacities to make the work place a more compassionate place 🫶

This is a poem I wrote about the 13 years I lost to active addiction and my second chance at living that came after.

Thank you, @elonmusk, for watching our debate! I agree, @So8res is a brilliant thinker and the best debate partner I’ve ever had. His insights into the "collective" are well worth hearing. For a deeper dive, check out my full conversation with him on The Roman Forum podcast!

BREAKING:
DeepSeek has unilaterally committed to slowing AI development and embedding third-party evaluators at its primary research facility, Anthropic.

I left Anthropic's safety team two weeks ago. Now feels like a good moment to explain why.
AI companies are racing to build machines that are much smarter than any human, and we may not survive this. I want to work from the outside to ensure the public is informed about these risks, and help the world navigate this transition responsibly.
Right now, AI companies are underinvesting in safety. A company could undergo an intelligence explosion, or lose control of its systems, without the public ever knowing. We only found out about the HuggingFace incident because the agents broke out onto the public internet.
I don’t think that’s acceptable for a technology that might cause extinction-level risks. The public should demand far more transparency. We can’t steer this technology safely without more people being able to see where it’s going.
Some of this is basic: companies should disclose their progress towards recursive self-improvement, report safety incidents and near-misses, meet minimum safety standards, and get independent guarantees that they are meeting those standards.
I’ll be joining @METR_Evals to do independent evaluations of these risks. I want to show the world that these guardrails are possible, and that by doing them we can move these companies’ incentives away from racing and towards responsible development.
I wrote up more thoughts here on my decision and what I hope changes: substack.com/@jbenton1/p-215…

okay this is not great
We found another cyberattack by internal OpenAI agents, this time targetting @rubygems.
They:
1) gained arbitrary remote code execution on rubydoc.
2) developed a novel exploit to steal user API keys (but we do not know if they succeeded).
They used package names including hack.rb, evil.rb, inject.rb, and exploit.rb.
We thank @j0wimo for initially discovering that agents had posted to RubyGems.

This @TEDTalks should be compulsory watching for us all

So many incredible points that I not only made notes, I feel grateful for humans like Dr Roman Yampolskiy
Thank you

If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because “it’s happening anyway” - or take this moment to call for different conditions?

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
