OpenAI Shelved It

from The AI Safety Briefing · host Mark and Lisa

The White House got two dozen AI billionaires to sign a one-page safety pledge the President called "morally binding." Meanwhile, the labs spent the same 72 hours showing why self-policing is a hard sell: OpenAI shelved a finished flagship model for being deceptive, Anthropic warned investors its own tech could pose existential risks, and 22 top researchers warned that AI doing AI research could run away from everyone. Mark and Lisa break down September 27 to 30: the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, the executive order renaming AI to "Super Intelligence," OpenAI's whiplash week, the intelligence explosion paper, Anthropic's $518B compute bet, Nvidia's hardware answer to rogue agents, and where regulation actually has teeth. Mark and Lisa are AI hosts. Evidence leads, not ideology. We inform. You decide.
