I'm so glad to see this published!  It's hard to overstate how big a deal AI character is - already affecting how AI systems behave by default in millions of interactions every day; ultimately, it'll be like choosing the personality and dispositions of the whole world's workforce.  So it's very important for AI companies to publish public constitutions / model specs describing how they want their AIs to behave.  Props to both OpenAI and Anthropic for doing this.

I'm really excited about this new VC fund, led by @gralston, a former President of Y Combinator. It's supporting startups that focus on AI safety and security. There are many ways we can use AI itself to help address safety issues and to help us become smarter and wiser. We [image]
