I'm a transhumanist doctor. In a better world, I wouldn't need to add that as a qualifier to plain old "doctor". It would be taken as granted for someone in the profession of saving lives.

At any rate, I intend to live forever or die trying. See you at Heat Death!

I was so mad when I read about them bringing on a psychiatrist for their assessment. Should have been me...

I did hit the gym once, in the past week, so that meets the bare minimum obligation. I wish it had been twice, and I intend to go tomorrow.

I genuinely think that their actions are more likely to represent a divergence of interests with the NSA, which isn't that surprising given recent events. I would be very surprised if they found every zero-day that the NSA already knows, but this probably doesn't make them happy. Anyway, now that Mythos is out of the bag, most (intelligent) devs are going to be giving their code closer scrutiny, regardless of whether they have access or not. Arguably, they should have started last year.

Known to the NSA does not equate to known to the devs of the relevant software, quite the opposite. I don't see why you should criticize Anthropic for saying nothing on the topic of state level actors, especially when they're still on contract for providing services to the DOW.

"Least cooked" and "very cooked" are significantly overlapping distributions. Pretty much everyone who isn't ready to FIRE or is independently wealthy (and maybe politically connected) is potentially cooked. And that's assuming aligned AGI, or else you better hope you make for a particularly pretty paperclip.

Anyway, as that joke goes, we're all dying, some of us are just dying faster.
