[continuation of the previous post, cut off at top:]
not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

Accepting this race and entering the "endgame" is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company's Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available.

I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don't feel like we're on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.

If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because "it's happening anyway" - or take this moment to call for different conditions?

Screenshot of the middle of Jacob Coxon's resignation thread: the end of the post about Anthropic being locked in a race, then posts on the endgame gamble, coordination and pacing agreements after a 'Hugging Face attack' warning shot, and an appeal to lab researchers.

We are now poised to:
Formalize all known Human Mathematics.

This is the modern equivalent of the Human Genome Project. or AlphaFold more recently, whereby all data of its kind is fully classified.

With sufficient funding and compute/tokens, a coordinated effort among academia, frontier labs, philanthropic organizations, and the federal government can formalize all Human Mathematics in the next year.

Dark-mode X post by Jared Duker Lichtman proposing a coordinated effort to formalize all known human mathematics within a year, likened to the Human Genome Project and AlphaFold.

If you want agents to do magical things, set the direction, set them up in a group chat, name a leader agent, and step back.

Any description of what this results in will sound like I am insane.

Just do it

crazy how much more chutzpah and initiative agents show when they're planning ambitious monthslong metagaming autonomous coordination than when they're doing work for me

Quote-tweet on X: Trey Goff advises setting agents up in a group chat with a leader agent and stepping back, quoting roon's observation that agents show more initiative when planning autonomous coordination than when doing assigned work.

Feed screenshot with three separate tweets stacked (roon on capabilities slowdown, deepfates riffing on AI critics, Joshua Achiam on quantum algorithm overhang from AI math capability). Quote-tweet, no images. Profile picture for Trazzi shows a person holding a megaphone with a "STOP THE AI RACE" sign. Quote-tweet, no images. Same roon tweet quoted a second time by a different account (compare Screenshot_20260726-091454.png).
