DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-09-13
David Krueger, former Cambridge professor, reveals he worked for Rishi Sunak's government in 2023 to help set up the UK AI Security Institute.
- He credits Sunak for putting "loss of control" on the agenda at Bletchley, calling him ahead of his time
- But strongly disagrees, then and now, with Sunak's claim that "voluntary testing before release was right for 2023"
- Sunak's quoted post argues recursive self-improvement is accelerating and we may be closer to loss-of-control than anyone realized
