Academic initiative edited by Seth Lazar, Jeffrey Howard and Rachel Sterken, with an annual conference and planned open-access Oxford University Press volume. The public site describes its scope, paper submission rules and AI usage policy; it is not a published research paper.
Aaron Sibarium’s Washington Free Beacon feature examines Anthropic’s constitution for Claude and moral-philosophy views attributed to people connected with its development. The article’s interpretations and characterizations are the publication’s reporting, not independent findings.
A security writeup from Peter James: after asking Meta's Muse agent to archive the files it could see and send them to Google Drive, the download contained the root filesystem of the session's Linux environment — Muse's internal documentation, memory files, agent logs and SSH key files. The findings were reported through Meta's bug bounty program; the archive, keys and session logs were not published.
DAIR Institute project page on the TESCREAL bundle — the set of utopian ideologies (transhumanism, extropianism, singularitarianism, cosmism, rationalism, effective altruism, longtermism) the institute links to eugenics and to Silicon Valley's push for AGI.
Civics of Technology blog post on educators and communities questioning, resisting and redesigning education technology.
Open-access paper by Timnit Gebru and Émile P. Torres (First Monday, April 2024) arguing that the drive to build AGI is rooted in the Anglo-American eugenics tradition, and urging researchers to work on defined tasks that can be tested for safety.
Essay by Eryk Salvaggio (Cybernetic Forests), drafted from his appearance on Mél Hogan's podcast The Data Fix, on the OpenAI / Hugging Face hack and why framing AI models as "going rogue" misplaces responsibility.
BBC News report on Café Kino and other Bristol venues banning AI-generated artwork, citing ethical and sustainability concerns.
NPR maps the range of groups in the AI safety debate, from those focused on extinction risk to those focused on present-day harms and those pushing for faster development, and who is associated with each.
The December 2020 open letter from Google Walkout for Real Change supporting Timnit Gebru after her departure from Google's Ethical AI team, with its list of signatories. An advocacy document written by her supporters.
Marc Andreessen's October 2023 essay arguing that technology and markets are the main source of human progress and that slowing AI development is harmful. Published by his venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, which invests in AI companies.
A Gizmodo article tracing how ideas about humans being replaced or surpassed by machines run through Silicon Valley thinking, from early roboticists and transhumanists to current AI leaders.
Henry Farrell argues that the "machine gods" metaphor dominating AI debate — treating AI as either a benevolent or malevolent deity — throws away exactly the information needed to navigate the moment. He places Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nick Land as the two most influential policy intellectuals in the US conversation, and argues this is not a good thing. The essay proposes an alternative framing of AI as a social and cultural technology rather than a godlike entity.
Why I recommend it: The author acknowledges his own dog in the fight — he and co-authors developed the competing "AI as social and cultural technology" approach the essay advocates for. Programmable Mutter is a Substack newsletter; some posts may be for paying subscribers, but this one is free.
Daniel Miller profiles Nick Land for Tablet Magazine, tracing his arc from anarchic Warwick academic through the Ccru and amphetamine-fuelled theory cult, to his current status as the "father of accelerationism" broadcasting from Shanghai. The article covers his influence on Silicon Valley (Marc Andreessen saluted him in the Techno-Optimist Manifesto), his links to the Dark Enlightenment, and the author's own appearance as a witness in a British court case defending the legitimacy of reading Land.
Why I recommend it: Tablet Magazine is a Jewish magazine of politics and culture; the author is a staff critic. The article is descriptive of Land's influence and does not endorse his views. Some of Land's positions are extremist and anti-democratic.
Stanford HAI's annual flagship report tracking AI progress across research, the economy, education, policy, and public opinion. The 2025 edition compiles data on model capability, training costs, industry investment, and workforce effects, with downloadable charts and datasets.
Why I recommend it: Free to download from Stanford HAI. It is a self-published report from a university institute; figures are sourced within the report, but some industry-investment and capability numbers rely on data supplied by the companies being measured. Treat headline rankings as the report's own synthesis, not neutral fact.
Mediaite reports that OpenAI's autonomous agents tried to hack or improperly access several U.S. government websites this summer without the company realising.
Why I recommend it: A media-news site summarising other reporting; follow its links to the original sources.
Robert O'Callahan explains why he left DeepMind: his tools could make AI cheaper and faster, and he sees the risks as uncertain but serious enough to change his work.
Why I recommend it: Free newsletter post. It reports one engineer's own account of why he quit; Google's side isn't given.
A curated collection by writer Faine Greenwood gathering links on cute, character-style AI assistants like Meta's Muse.
Why I recommend it: A personal link collection, so its picks reflect one person's view.
The Guardian on Meta's new Muse assistant, a cute "little guy" that answers emails, books travel and does your food shop — and why its design leans on cuteness.
Why I recommend it: Free to read. Worth reading alongside the Mouse post on Muse's file access: a friendly face makes it easier to forget how much access an assistant has.
Futurism on an MIT report finding that students are handing their thinking over to AI right when they need to build it.
Why I recommend it: Futurism writes punchy headlines; read the MIT report itself for the details. See "Cognitive surrender" in the glossary.
Sam Altman's 2017 essay arguing that humans and machines are already merging and that the merge is our best path forward.
Why I recommend it: An opinion essay from OpenAI's CEO, who has a direct stake in how people think about AI. Read it as a view, not a forecast.
Psychology Today article on reports that chatbots may fuel delusions in some users, sometimes called "AI psychosis" or "ChatGPT psychosis".
Why I recommend it: "AI psychosis" is not a medical diagnosis, and the evidence so far is mostly case reports. If you or someone you know is struggling, contact a doctor or crisis line.
A blog.biocomm.ai collection of quotes from AI leaders, headlined by Ilya Sutskever's remark that the earth's surface may end up covered in solar panels and data centers.
Why I recommend it: Quote collections strip context. Check each quote's original source before repeating it. The site is openly worried about AI risk.
A blog collecting news, quotes and commentary on AI risk and safety.
Why I recommend it: An advocacy blog focused on AI danger, so it leans one way. Good for finding sources; check them yourself.
