@KatSpartz (Kat Spartz) — 23h I tried quitting AI safety work. This is what it felt like. [Embedded image: a meme photo of a beach worker in uniform calmly raking sand with a small rake and wheelbarrow, while a massive tsunami-scale wave looms directly behind him, about to break.]

The tweet is a caption over a well-known "calm before disaster" meme image (man raking a beach oblivious to an enormous incoming wave), used to express the futility/urgency feeling of stepping away from AI safety work.
