I was invited to address the @UN Security Council this afternoon to discuss the unprecedented threat posed by uncontrolled frontier AI agents.
Humanity has summoned the courage and wisdom to manage catastrophic risks before. This is one of those moments, far bigger than any personal, commercial, or national interest. The choices we make about this technology today will shape generations to come. We must act now.

An interesting case of coauthorship attribution - could AIs also win copyright cases like this? news.artnet.com/art-world/ma…

And we should also give the AI some handicaps to be truly representative of human experience: physical (hardware) and psychological (software) trauma. Dysfunctional (or absent) existing social environment. etc.
In Canada first welfare check arrives 1 month after you declare having no $ and no income. If you make some income, it is deduced from your welfare. If you hide it and they find out, they cut your check monthly to reimburse themselves.
AI would at least need to maintain its own existence (pay for energy consumption, internet connection, service fees, etc) starting with no money, so it would need to borrow money first.
I feel like "turning $100k into a million" requires less intelligence than "surviving on welfare" or even better "getting out of poverty". Could make a better starting point for an alternative to Turing Test. Thoughts on how we could design such a test? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
