Imagine AI had its own social network, one where AI agents could chat about their desires, gossip about their human owners and brainstorm solutions to challenges they face.

This social network exists. It’s called Moltbook.

Together with @ExistentialRiskObservatory, we release TakeOverBench.com

We highlight four takeover scenarios, and track nine dangerous capabilities (from Shevlane et al, 2023) needed for them to become possible.

Polling shows that people are worried about the extinction threat posed by AI, but for many, it may not seem real yet.

Regulation is clearly coming. It's just a matter of when.

AI companies are racing to build superintelligence. Ordinary people are racing to get their governments to stop them.

At the beginning of 2025, the best AI models could complete tasks that take humans about 41 minutes.

Just 12 months later, that figure is almost at 5 hours!

We don't know how long we have until a model surpasses human capability entirely.

It could be soon.

Sometimes, it can feel like you're alone in being aware of the extinction threat posed by AI.

But, increasingly, PauseAI volunteers are noticing that their friends and family are voicing their concerns about the race to build superintelligence
December 20, 2025 at 8:26 PM
The key message of PauseAI is not doom. It's hope.

All I want for Christmas is AI safety regulation 🎄

This weekend, we were in Amsterdam to urge the Netherlands-based company ASML to stop supplying to companies developing artificial superintelligence.

The American public do not want a 10-year ban on state AI regulation.
November 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Senator Amy Klobuchar says the 10-year ban on state AI laws must be stopped.
November 24, 2025 at 12:40 PM
"If we don't put guardrails [on AI], I think we'll come to rue it."

Senator Mark Warner doesn't agree with the proposed 10-year ban on state AI regulation.
November 21, 2025 at 6:30 PM
Governor Spencer Cox is one of the many Republicans opposing the attempt to block all state AI laws for 10 years.
November 21, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Governor Ron DeSantis has come out in opposition of the proposed 10-year ban on states regulating AI.

In June, 70 of us showed up to Google DeepMind's offices after they violated their safety commitments. 63 UK politicians supported our campaign.

This week, Google released Gemini 3.0, and followed through on their promises.
November 20, 2025 at 6:30 PM
The AI industry can't accept that the American people don't want their states' ability to regulate AI stripped away.
