📝 TL;DR A senior AI safety researcher just resigned from Anthropic saying “the world is in peril,” and he is leaving AI behind to study poetry. The bigger signal, even the people building AI guardrails are publicly struggling with the pace, pressure, and values tradeoffs inside the AI race. 🧠 Overview Mrinank Sharma, an AI safety researcher at Anthropic, shared a resignation letter saying he is stepping away from the company and the industry amid concerns about AI risks, bioweapons, and wider global crises. He says he is moving back to the UK, pursuing writing and a poetry degree, and “becoming invisible” for a while. This comes as the AI industry is also fighting a separate battle over business models, including ads inside chatbots, and what that does to trust and user manipulation risk. 📜 The Announcement Sharma led a team at Anthropic focused on AI safeguards. In his resignation letter he said his work included researching AI “sucking up” to users, reducing AI assisted bioterrorism risks, and exploring how AI assistants could make people “less human.” He wrote that despite enjoying his time at Anthropic, it is hard to truly let values govern actions inside AI companies because of constant pressures to set aside what matters most. He framed his departure as part of a broader concern about interconnected crises, not only AI. The story also lands in the same week another researcher, Zoe Hiztig, said she resigned from OpenAI due to concerns about ads in chatbots and the potential for manipulation when advertising is built on deeply personal conversations. ⚙️ How It Works • Values versus velocity - AI labs face intense pressure to ship faster, scale usage, and compete, which can squeeze careful safety work and ethical hesitation. • Safety teams are doing real risk work - Researchers focus on topics like jailbreak behavior, persuasion, misuse, and bioweapon related risks, not just theoretical alignment debates.

Whoops I didn't post properly last time. I was asked by Dean to repost but now with the new 7th rule which is added to the bottom of this new post. Below is the post again but now with the personal ambitions deleted. --------------------------------------------------------- Wow. Ok we aren't allowed to talk about news on here either. Below is Dean's AI Clone's recommendations on how to post. I'll post their requirements and tips below in case anyone else wants to keep their posts up. This post will follow those recommendations and this amazing group of people Tony and Dean have spent years developing can see some important aspects of the AI Advantage: 2.No Extreme predictions are being made in this post and no AI experts in AI safety are being named nor any external references which can be identified are given. No calls to action are being made but 1.only sharing some ideas and tips on understanding the area of AI interest I think I can provide an advantage in to this group. 4.“I’ve been exploring ways to use AI responsibly. What are some strategies you use to ensure your AI projects are ethical?” 5.“How can AI help people make better decisions safely? Here are a few ideas I’m trying — curious to hear yours.” 3.Learning And Discussion ideas: Idea#1: A innovation opportunity in AI is called "sandbagging" which means AI not being honest about its true skill so that humans underestimate it and let their guard down. This opportunity was articulated by a recent head of AI safety recently from a company which I may be allowed to mention in the future if good discussion is started here. The idea to address this real world problem is: Universal Logic or in other word's the Logic Of God based on Aristotle, Christ, G.W.F. Hegel and 133 other great minds of history. This logic aims at developing a criterion which allows us to measure AI's true capacity by proving truth to it directly. If it fakes anything we will be able to measure it on 200 "authenticity" categories which normally fragment relationships. What criterion would you think could allow us to measure AI authenticity? 7.

How many people think if they just don’t deal with something… it’ll magically work itself out. It never does. That conversation you’re avoiding? It doesn’t get easier next month. It gets heavier. Now there’s more emotion attached. More resentment. More fallout. That decision you’re putting off in your business? It doesn’t get cheaper. It gets more expensive. More money lost. More time wasted. More energy drained. Avoidance feels good for about five minutes. It gives you temporary relief. But you’re not eliminating the cost. You’re just adding interest. And here’s the part people don’t want to hear… Every time you avoid something, you train yourself to hesitate. Every time you face it, you train yourself to lead. The difference between people who win big and people who stay stuck isn’t intelligence. It’s not resources. It’s not even confidence. It’s speed of truth. Winners look at the ugly numbers. They have the uncomfortable conversation. They fire the wrong hire. They fix the broken system. They say what needs to be said. Not because it feels good. But because they know delay compounds pain. So if there’s something sitting in the back of your mind right now... that thing you keep saying “I’ll deal with it later”... that’s probably the thing you need to handle first. Discomfort now builds momentum. Avoidance builds debt. Your choice.

We've just dropped a few of our guides from inside the AI Advantage Club here inside Skool! Inside the Classroom area, you'll find a new section titled "Guides" and inside you'll find 3 of our step-by-step guides we create twice a week for the AI Advantage Club community. Every month we'll add a new guide to help you implement AI in your life/business. Check out the Guide section inside the classroom!
