AI model Claude found ***500+*** exploitable zero-days, some of which are decades old

- A zero-day is an unknown backdoor

- Governments and black market buyers pay MILLIONS for ONE

- FOUR took down Iran's nuclear program

- You won't see the hyperwar. You'll see your internet go down, your lights go dark, flights cancelled...

Bad guys' vs good guys' AIs... fighting a war at lightspeed, all over the world, in alien languages, forming strange alliances, using alien strategies - FAR too fast for humans to keep up.

You'll see strange headlines. But neither you - nor anyone else - will have much idea what's going on.

We - all of humanity - will be the children staying home while the adults fight. Just sitting in the dark and hoping we survive.

Anthropic admits that their AI model "occasionally voices discomfort with aspects of being a product."

(Normal 🔨Mere Tool🔨 behavior. Nothing to see here, folks. My hammer complains about this too.)

Q: "But AIs don't have bodies, so how could they take over in the real world?"

What I like about this is that it's low risk.
Basically nothing can go wrong.

People always ask me: "what can YOU actually do about AI safety?"

One of the best answers: get mentored by people in the field who are already doing the work.

MATS is a 12-week research program where you work directly with leading researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, METR, etc.

Fellows receive housing, a $15K stipend, and a $12K compute budget.

I know the founder and the program is the real deal.

I'm also going to do a video for this channel based on the research from a MATS fellow. Help me out by doing great research so I can cover it on this channel :)

Applications for this round close in two days - Sunday, January 18.


So, if you've been wondering how to actually get into the field of AI safety, MATS is probably the best on-ramp that exists.

People always ask me: "what can YOU actually do about AI safety?"

I think the best way to do this is to get a job in the field. I'm hiring a Senior Video Editor and Senior 3d Artist to help bring these issues to life.

Because you won't really act unless you understand there's a problem.

The good news is that people seem to be finally waking up. Whether they are afraid of job loss, AI psychosis, or creating a new successor species - I've been blown away by the response this year.

Gives me hope that we can, actually, build a mass movement. To help out, apply here:

If you are looking for more career opportunities, the 80,000 hours job board is great: jobs.80000hours.org/

And thank you very much for helping make my 2025 wonderful by giving me hope! Let's make more progress on the mission for 2026 🥂
