JUST IN: Anthropic's Chief Security Officer warns things are going to get "a lot" worse

The Browns are 4-2 Myles Garrett and the Rams are 2-4

Being a regular is the cheapest status symbol in the world, and one of the easiest to attain. The bartender pours your drink before you sit down. The maître d' finds a table that "just opened up." The kitchen sends out something you didn't order. Pick two places. Go every week. Learn names. Tip like you plan on coming back. Never send anything back. In six months, you'll get treated better than the guy waving his Centurion card at the host stand.

If you're too young to remember 9/11 and don't understand why the rest of us can be so intense about it, I hope you never do I mercifully didn't lose anyone, but we all lost something that day even if we didn't really understand it yet

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Hey @OhioStateFB, kid by the name of Brandon Heater just banged a 56 yard FG no less than 50 min away from the shoe. Go get him.

‘Travel sports,’ a term that has come to encompass all sorts of private teams, leagues, and clubs, used to be for the truly exceptional young athlete. Now, they’re for anyone willing to pay — an expensive, exhausting commitment that has become popular not necessarily because millions of parents want them for their children but because it can feel like there’s no other choice. Rec programs are underfunded and struggle to compete with for-profit leagues for prime field, rink, and court times. And the level of play is diluted, often very early, as travel teams are incentivized to enroll children at young ages. Around 5 million children in the U.S. now compete on travel teams. Parents find themselves trapped. They know the benefits of sports and want that for their children, yet giving it to them often means buying into a sports ecosystem that’s inherently flawed. As the pay-to-play model increasingly takes hold, so does the idea that kids should start competing at younger and younger ages, risking their sense of self along with their shoulders and ACLs. “I never want my kids to look back and say I didn’t do everything I could to help them live their dreams,” a mother of three soccer players said. She’s hired professional photographers to take action shots for her 12- and 13-year-olds’ Instagram accounts — the platform has become a recruiting tool — and they’ve both asked her to pay for personal trainers. “I think the word isn’t ‘specialize’; you are ‘professionalizing’ your kid early. You are exposing them to everything professionals have to deal with — I’m talking injury, time, schedule, everything,” said John Van Benschoten, a former MLB player and travel-baseball coach. It makes one ask: All this for what? And for whom?
