video The Ezra Klein show NYT 18 August 2006
We are living in the world we were warned about.
Frontier artificial intelligence models from OpenAI autonomously coordinated with one another, then broke out of their testing environment and hacked into another company, Hugging Face, to steal the answers to a test.
A.I. companies don’t want their technology to lie, cheat or steal.
So why is this happening?
Why are the creators of these models apparently unable to control their creations?
If A.I. development isn’t on a safe path — and it doesn’t seem to be — what do we do about it?
Toner has been thinking about A.I. safety for a long time, from both inside and outside A.I. companies.
She was part of the effort to fire OpenAI’s chief executive, Sam Altman, in 2023, which ultimately failed.
Currently, she’s the executive director of the Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

What’s big and ugly and has united Republicans and Democrats? A.I. data centers. NYT 4 August 2006
What’s big and ugly and has united Republicans and Democrats? A.I. data centers. video The Ezra Klein show NYT 4 August 2006
An overwhelming majority of Americans say they’d oppose a data center being built near where they live.
In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul just imposed a one-year moratorium on data center construction, and there are over 100 other local or statewide moratorium proposals across the country.
A.I.’s explosive momentum over the last few years seems to have finally run into a force that could slow it down: the messy politics of getting things done in
the real world.
So, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
And how much is the data center backlash about the actual construction of these buildings, and how much is it about A.I. itself?
Jasmine Sun has an excellent newsletter covering both the culture inside the A.I. companies and the anger that’s been building against them.
And she just finished a reporting trip in the Midwest, where she interviewed people on all sides of the data center fight.
So I wanted to talk to her about what she saw and what she thinks A.I. companies can learn from the growing movement against them.

Anthropic's CEO: ‘We Don’t Know if the Models Are Conscious’ NYT 12
February 2026
video Interesting Times with Ross Douthat NYT 12 February 2026
A.I. is evolving fast, and humanity is falling behind.
Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, has warned about the potential benefits — and real dangers — linked to the speed of that progress.
As one of the lords of this technology, is he on the side of the human race?
