Remember when the Biden administration thought it had done a great thing by creating a Disinformation Governance Board. Well, this sounds even worse. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, sparked a panic earlier this month by publishing an essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier," warning that artificial intelligence is outpacing the safety measures to control it. Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced legislation to immediately pause AI development in the United States, while sending out good vibes to the rest of the world, including China, to do the same. Abdul El-Sayed has also called for an immediate pause on AI development in the U.S., to give you an idea of what sort of politician is backing this action.
The New York Post has put together a piece on the working group Amodei would like to see oversee AI development:

Thomas Barrabi writes for The New York Post:
Worried what AI will do to the world? Don’t fret — we got a group of woke elitists who will protect us.
That’s the pitch from Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei, who says he has found an outside team that can regulate AI and make sure it doesn’t destroy the world.
It’s a group of globalists who believe in open borders, genderless pronouns, and promote “Effective Altruism,” that believes all the world’s problems can be solved with technology.
In a bombshell essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” Amodei argued that leading AI firms should commit to allowing “embedded third-party evaluators” from a nonprofit called Model Evaluation and Threat Research, or METR, that would maintain “employee-like access” to oversee safety efforts and ensure advanced AI models don’t turn Terminator and wipe out humanity.
The would-be John Connors at METR purport to be fully independent, but the group traces its roots directly back to key figures in Effective Altruism, whose Silicon Valley-based devotees once included disgraced crypto boss Sam Bankman-Fried, one of Anthropic’s biggest early investors.
Effective Altruism, a philosophy that’s become popular with Silicon Valley masters of the universe, advocates for using reason — and fortunes amassed by tech’s best and brightest — to do the most good for humanity over the long term.

Yeah, hard pass. We sent the Disinformation Governance Board packing, and we'll do the same with METR.
🚨 The New York Post just named the group Silicon Valley wants in charge of AI.

It is not Congress. It is not voters. It is a far-left Effective Altruism outfit called METR.

The post continues:
… on Earth. The problem is they are not independent. The roster includes his old housemate, that housemate’s wife, and staff funded by the same Democratic megadonors already invested in Anthropic.
That is not a watchdog. That is the same circle grading its own homework.
If a bank hired its own friends as auditors, the government would shut it down. When it is AI, they want America to clap. We should not.
They want a British man named Pip who refers to himself as they/them regulating AI in America.

Defective Altruism

Revenge of the entitled and self-righteous AP kids who are godless psychopaths and think they should control all.
This man cannot even regulate himself

He signed up cause he thought AI was anal insertion.

Like The New York Times, we blame an editorial error for that one getting through.
Just pull on this plug on these “cosplaying” strangers. Give them a blanket and some veggie sticks - put them to bed.

All of them look mentally unstable! 😂

I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. RUN as fast as you can if you hear a politician say this.

Just by looking at those pics, I wouldn't trust any of those people w/ a freaking squirt gun let alone AI technology

Interesting post. @MrAndyNgo also mentioned Effective Altruism as the governing ideology behind that trans murder cult, the Zizians.

Anthropic is making the strongest argument for communism ever - I’ve never seen a company I wanted seized and redistributed more than this one.

This would be WORSE than the government getting involved, I don't care how much they think they know, they dont know enough, no one does.
— Thomas Lyons (@wvatom) September 16, 2026
Just like the people who were running Twitter and Google and Facebook when they censored Trump

It was best for humanity.
A plan by the far left to control AI for only their narrative, and for increased censorship.

A bunch of liberal white women and trans dudes, what could go wrong

The AI race is a bunch of looney liberals racing to control our lives. Sounds like a great future.

if you thought woke trans passive mind control brainwashing was bad before, wait till this board of inexperienced psychopaths starts gatekeeping all information on earth.

The Post continues:
METR’s involvement is likely to be a nonstarter for the Trump administration, which has had a testy relationship with Anthropic over the past year and has also expressed heavy skepticism of so-called AI “doomers” who argue the technology is on the precipice of disaster.
“METR is essentially Anthropic in another form,” a source familiar with the White House’s thinking told The Post on Tuesday.
Good. Hard pass from us. As far as we know, the woke EU has already signed on with this bunch of freaks.
