Cocaine is the line in the sand. Weird how his heroin usage, eating roadkill, promoting raw milk, anti-vax stance, and brain worms weren't a deal breaker.

AI safety researcher quits Anthropic, warning 'world is in peril'
Image features Mrinank Sharma, the former Head of AI Security at Anthropic, alongside a headline regarding his resignation and warning about interconnected global risks. Dear Colleagues, I've decided to leave Anthropic. My last day will be February 9th. Thank you. There is so much here that inspires and has inspired me. To name some of those things: a sincere desire and drive to show up in such a challenging situation, and aspire to contribute in an impactful and high-integrity way; a willingness to make difficult decisions and stand for what is good; an unreasonable amount of intellectual brilliance and determination; and, of course, the considerable kindness that pervades our culture. I've achieved what I wanted to here. I arrived in San Francisco two years ago, having wrapped up my PhD and wanting to contribute to AI safety. I feel lucky to have been able to contribute to what I have here: understanding AI sycophancy and its causes; developing defences to reduce risks from AI-assisted bioterrorism; actually putting those defences into production; and writing one of the first AI safety cases. I'm especially proud of my recent efforts to help us live our values via internal transparency mechanisms; and also my final project on understanding how AI assistants could make us less human or distort our humanity. Thank you for your trust. Nevertheless, it is clear to me that the time has come to move on. I continuously find myself reckoning with our situation. The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment. We appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences. Moreover, throughout my time here, I've repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions. I've seen this within myself, within the organization, where we constantly face pressures to set aside what matters most, and throughout broader society too. It is through holding this situation and listening as best I can that what I must do becomes clear. I want to contribute in a way that feels fully in my integrity, and that allows me to bring to bear more of my particularities. I want to explore the questions that feel truly essential to me, the questions that David Whyte would say "have no right to go away", the questions that Rilke implores us to "live". For me, this means leaving. What comes next, I do not know. I think fondly of the famous Zen quote "not knowing is most intimate". My intention is to create space to set aside the structures that have held me these past years, and see what might emerge in their absence. I feel called to writing that addresses and engages fully with the place we find ourselves, and that places poetic truth alongside scientific truth as equally valid ways of knowing, both of which I believe have something essential to contribute when developing new technology. I hope to explore a poetry degree and devote myself to the practice of courageous speech. I am also excited to deepen my practice of facilitation, coaching, community building, and group work. We shall see what unfolds. Thank you, and goodbye. I've learnt so much from being here and I wish you the best. I'll leave you with one of my favourite poems, The Way It Is by William Stafford. Good Luck, Mrinank

Vintage postcard from the early 1900s with a calendar on the date Friday the 13th with accompanied text that reads, 'Get married on Friday, the 13th. You will always have something to blame it on.' It suggests that getting married on this date provides a convenient excuse to blame any future marital issues on bad luck.

This artwork is an oil painting by artist Maria Farmer, created while she was a student at the New York Academy of Art. The piece is titled The Painting (or sometimes associated with her series The Survivors Project) and was inspired by Edgar Degas' famous work, "The Rape".

Farmer, now a prominent artist and advocate, has used her art to process her experiences and honor other survivors. This image is a painting by Maria Farmer, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, depicting herself and Epstein, referencing a lawsuit and report related to his activities.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!
