EP 23: AI isn’t going to kill us

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says frontier AI is moving too fast for safeguards to keep up. Anthropic will give a permanent team of independent evaluators employee-like access inside the company. Sam Altman says OpenAI will follow. Oscar and Matt separate three questions: 1. Is this independent oversight or industry-controlled assurance? 2.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says frontier AI is moving too fast for safeguards to keep up. Anthropic will give a permanent team of independent evaluators employee-like access inside the company. Sam Altman says OpenAI will follow.


Oscar and Matt separate three questions:


1. Is this independent oversight or industry-controlled assurance?

2. What access and publication rights make an evaluator credible?

3. Does a voluntary pledge change the speed of development?


Signal or Noise also covers OpenAI's Navier–Stokes claim and credit dispute, Meta's Muse personal agent, DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas, and California's AI-auditor laws.


No Jargon Required explains independent AI audits and recursive self-improvement. Each explanation ends with a build, buy, wait, or ignore decision.


Hosts: Oscar Gallo and Matt Wozniak.
