A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who âsigned offâ on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

I think a lot of this "the left doesn't get AI" or "you can't talk with the left about AI" originates with annoyance by libertarians and the right at people reminding them ethics and empathy should still matter in technology development and adoption, and it isn't just about "work flow efficiencies"

4-5 years ago there were MDs like Lucy McBride crowing about the urgency of normal, getting kids back to school. There were PR hacks like David Zweig supporting them. Now kids are being sent to immigration detention, getting measles & these folks are nowhere to be found. It was never about the kids.

Anthropic's head of safety just resigned. Most likely a protest against the company's pivot to working with Palantir and Gulf Arab states. The "don't be evil" stage gets shorter. (I still think Anthropic is the most morally run of the AI corps but it's like cherrypicking rooms on fire.)

People should pay attention to this story. Trump actually tries his "you're fired" shtick, directly!! But it's mere words!! Because the guy has a (good) union (which is smartly making a symbol of this story) Ford meanwhile suspended him immediately and surely would have fired absent union action
