The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"A masterclass in suspense where genius meets destiny"
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan DoyleA Singular Man
Chapter 1A Singular Man
It is with a heavy heart that I pick up this pen to write these the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, was distinguished. In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavored to give some account of my strange experiences in his company, from the chance which first brought us together at the period of the Study in Scarlet, up to the time of his interference in the matter of the Naval Treaty, an interference which had the unquestionable effect of preventing a serious international complication. It was my intention to have stopped there and to have said nothing of that event, which has created a void in my life, which the lapse of two years has done little to fill. My hand has been forced, however, by the recent letters in which Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother, and I have no choice but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred.

Dario Amodei—Machines of Loving Grace.

Dario Amodei • darioamodei.com

I think and talk a lot about the risks of powerful AI. The company I’m the CEO of, Anthropic, does a lot of research on how to reduce these risks. Because of this, people sometimes draw the conclusion that I’m a pessimist or “doomer” who thinks AI will be mostly bad or dangerous. I don’t think that at all. In fact, one of my main reasons for focusing on risks is that they’re the only thing standing between us and what I see as a fundamentally positive future. I think that most people are underestimating just how radical the upside of AI could be, just as I think most people are underestimating how bad the risks could be. In this essay I try to sketch out what that upside might

Into the Unknown
The first time I heard the hum of a machine that could think, it wasn’t the sound that startled me. It was the silence that followed. A silence filled not with absence, but with possibility. For a moment, I realized that the room was no longer just inhabited by people—it was shared with something that had begun to listen in its own way. We call them algorithms, models, systems.
