Alignment with Awakening: Davidad on Moral Realism, AI Wisdom, & why His p(Doom) is Down to 5%
“I think it's kind of unlikely, in part because of the philosophical side, where I'm like, I think probably the AIs are not emergently going to be aligned.”
“I'm not surprised anymore. Every single week, no shortage. Um, yeah, well, it's good to see you. You have a big— hmm, let's see here. I'm gonna hold off on that until later, actually. Um, let's start with China. China, uh, might be— I think this is really interesting because w...”
“Yeah, this actually surprises me, 'cause China's talking about cutting off access to their own models. Just last week, I was saying that China could undercut the entire American AI industry by releasing its models for free at open weight. And that that's a tremendous strategic...”
“Now, the reason we're having this conversation is a report from Reuters that Beijing is potentially exploring ways to block the overseas distribution of models. Reportedly, representatives from Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.AI have attended meetings with Chinese authorities over t...”
“Yeah, I'm really interested in that. I do think we should just very quickly touch on this China story right now because I think it's really interesting. There's a, a story from Reuters that is an exclusive where it's basically that the CCP, the Chinese government, has held mee...”
“And just like defense, potentially intelligence will be something where, you know, choosing your allies very carefully becomes really important, right? If you're France or Russia or Germany or India or whatever, you probably have intelligence companies working on your own mode...”
“Yeah, so, so first of all, go watch— if you're not, if you're just listening to this, go watch this video that Fabian made because it is so good. It is one of the best AI videos I've ever seen in that it matches the style of the 1930s cartoons almost particularly well, like ju...”
“Today on the AI Daily Brief, new research showing that Anthropic can now read Claude's mind. Before that in the headlines, the UN says killer robots must be banned. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. All right, ...”
“AI is already transforming our world. The question is whether we will shape this transformation together or let it shape us. Delegates from all 193 member states were present for the dialogue, which covered numerous hot-button issues for AI. Chief among them was autonomous wea...”

We, we are tapping into that a little bit. So there, there's a, a proof assistant called Colon, which is actually on GitHub. Again, it's like very, very early, but it's starting to be coded now. And that's gonna be the proof assistant for Safeguarded AI. It's kind of a databas...
Sources said the platform was rolled out internally in June. However, it's still unclear whether it will get the green light for a public release or when that would happen. Certainly, the product suggests that Cursor, now part of SpaceX AI, is looking to grow beyond their trad...
OpenAI has released ChatGPT Work, and we are going to talk about what that means in first impressions. But first, let's finally catch up on the now fully released GPT-5.6 model family. Now, this is the first time that OpenAI has split their model family into a set of classes. ...
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Is Here. And It's Really Freaking Good.
All right, we're gonna do a quick look at some of the basics here. Uh, 5.6 Pro SOL is out along with Terra and Luna. Now, SOL is only available for paid users. Terra and Luna will be available for free. That is kind of the medium and low. It's kind of imagine in the Claude wor...

Yeah. So I would say overall program of guaranteed safe AI has a bunch of agendas within it. Safeguarded AI is one of those agendas. That's the name of the program that Nora now leads, and the concept there is not that we would prove that some AI is safe, but that we would tak...
But I guess at least we have a clear articulation of what they stand for and something to build from in their conversations with the government. Speaking of the overlap between the government and AI, Anthropic has appointed former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke to the board of their l...

Very interesting. On the market question, how do you— of course, everybody's using agents these days, right? I've got my little roster of agents on a couple of computers here at home.
Okay, great news. How much— it sounds like a lot of this does depend on— and this isn't like a crazy leap to make, but it sounds like you're envisioning a world where there's a broadly diffused and quite diverse and potentially full of all kinds of problematic AIs in a kind of...
Today on the AI Daily Brief, how to help people thrive with AI. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in. First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, Robots a...
This isn't surprising when you find out that only 30% of employees at organizations with AI agents have actually received agentic training. Now, this study is the latest to show this sort of detail, but is far from the only one out there telling this story. Where we're going t...
And to recap, the big takeaway is that we now have 2 frontier models that perform very differently. Broadly speaking, the early consensus is that Fable 5 is the big model for massive long-running tasks. especially ones where there can be a lot of autonomy, while GPT-5.6 SOL is...
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Is Here. And It's Really Freaking Good.
I am very excited to see what this model, a really, really big model, looks like when it's hosted on Cerebras. Because I think that's gonna start changing the vibe of how you make stuff.

Because as the models get bigger, you now need to move the weights and of course what we call the KV cache into the compute units. And that is essentially a data movement problem, right? And it's a data movement problem from the memory to the compute units. And it's a data mov...
It's a classic idea from computer architecture, pipelining and the use of a memory hierarchy to move the data when you need it to where you need it at the right time. And so the nice thing about these AI models is that you do have a graph of computation. And the whole idea of ...
So it's been over half a year. Kind of surprising that they haven't doubled down initially. It was a big deal, but regardless, makes sense that we have a new generation here. And now to applications in business. First up, we've got Etched pools 400+ engineers from NVIDIA, TSMC...
Essentially, this is an independent oversight and advisory board that sits on top of Anthropic's normal board of directors. Importantly, the Benefit Trust has the power to elect or remove one member of the corporate board, which escalates to 2 and then 3 according to time and ...
Awesome. That's, I think, a great one to start with. And thank you for inviting me on the show. I appreciate the opportunity. So I co-founded ZenML. about 5 years ago. So this was really almost at a point where MLOps was really reaching fever pitch on, there was all sorts of c...
So I think if anything, even if you throw away every other tool that we ever used in MLOps, the principles and the learnings that we took from productionalizing these applications at scale still translate and are being rediscovered even at the AIE Worlds where I sometimes hear...

Yeah. And there's just also, they're going to be agents in the economy, and the economy is fundamentally competitive. And if you are not kind of set up to play some of these games, you're going to be the one taken advantage of, right? If only by humans in today's world. One of...
One of my predictions coming into 2026 was that we would start to see a role that I loosely called internally deployed vibe coders. Obviously, there is a huge trend towards forward deployed engineers where companies who are provisioning AI are also placing engineers inside the...
Today, 99% of our engineers use AI tools, more than 70% of pull requests are attributed to local or cloud agents, and our engineers have built 2,500+ agent skills across the software development lifecycle. Those numbers are exciting, but they led us to a much bigger question: ...
