The newer generation cancer vaccines aren't like the HPV shot (that prevents a virus). These are therapeutic, they treat cancer you already have. And 2026 is the year they stopped being sci-fi. The idea: after surgery, sequence your specific tumor, find the mutations unique to it, and build a custom mRNA vaccine that trains your immune system to hunt any cell carrying them. A wanted poster for your personal cancer. Where we actually are: Melanoma: just like in immunotherapy 15 years ago the furthest along. The press release of positive Phase 3 made the headlines yesterday, the first ever for a personalized cancer vaccine. Earlier data: ~49% lower risk of recurrence. Heading to regulators. Pancreatic cancer: arguably the most stunning. In an early trial, patients whose immune systems responded to the vaccine were far more likely to be alive 6 years later, in a cancer where 5-year survival is barely better than 10 %. Now in a larger trial. Kidney, lung, bladder, brain: all in trials, mostly early phase. The honest caveats: these work best after surgery to stop recurrence, not to melt large tumors. They're personalized, so they might cost $100–300k and take weeks to build per patient. And most are still early-phase. First approvals at best 2027. But the direction is unmistakable. The mRNA platform some parts of the internet spent years calling poison - because they got fooled by bad actors making money on their lies - is turning into the most personalized cancer medicine ever made. These are the main trials currently running:

It was great to be back at https://nitter.net/bloomberg studios to chat with https://nitter.net/TimStenove1g. We covered quite a bit, but there's one thread worth amplifying for founders: the growing importance of having a non-consensus view. Essentially, an idea that doesn't seem plausible at first. People disagree with you. Investors leave the conversation disagreeing with the premise. But as the discussion progresses, the hypotheses that need to be tested become clear — and the result can be a category-defining company. When ChatGPT launched in November 2022, startups raced to embrace the technology and build applications that weren't possible before. Fairly obvious applications, like note-taking, were pursued by many. But we're almost four years into this inflection point — the same ideas have been pursued by dozens (hundreds?) of teams — and yet 99% of entrepreneurs still have consensus ideas. To be clear, you can pursue note-taking. Companies like https://nitter.net/WisprFlow recently launched a note-taking app with clear reasons to win. But a consensus idea needs some special sauce — a unique angle that will open up, or create, a new category for your company. We're always connecting with founders to discuss their ideas.

Does this change everything? Dr. Simone Gold (@drsimonegold) David Morens just pleaded guilty. Fauci’s senior advisor. The man who sat at his right hand for years. He used a secret Gmail account to hide official communications from the American people. He destroyed and concealed federal records to evade FOIA. He worked to protect the grants that flowed into Wuhan and the narrative that COVID could not have come from the lab his agency funded. This was not a clerical error. This was a deliberate cover-up while the country was locked down, censored, injected, and told to “trust the science.” Careers were destroyed. Early treatments were suppressed. Children lost years of their childhoods. Millions suffered. We stood on the steps of the Supreme Court in 2020 and told the truth. They censored us. They called us dangerous. They were the ones deleting the evidence. One guilty plea is not enough. The house of cards is still standing as long as the man at the top remains untouched. Accountability is not optional.

Last year at this time, Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy terminated 22 mRNA research contracts worth $500 million. Same cost as Trump’s gifted Qatari plane. Today, Merck and Moderna announced that an experimental breakthrough vaccine treatment — developed through mRNA research previously funded by NIH — has shown signs of preventing cancer from returning or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients. Thank god the NIH funded this before Kennedy and the Trump administration showed up to degrade America’s health and leadership.

I think folks are going to be stunned by how quickly Grok starts generating massive revenue for SpaceX. Grok Bot is easily one of the most useful (and addicting) AI products out there. It’s very Apple-like in that “it just works”. And the UI/UX is easily the best out of any other digital AI product, which makes it dead simple to interface with. Grok 4.6 in Grok Build is legitimately great. It’s just as good as GPT/Claude in most use cases, but far faster and cheaper. Pair this with the massive growth in compute SpaceX will experience in the coming months, and you’ve got a recipe for a vertically integrated token-generating behemoth.

inspired by the anthropic post, i made a protein font! how does it work? when you design by differentiating backward through a folding model like esm-fold2 you can ask that the distogram of the folded protein looks like something you want. a little bit of help from https://nitter.net/ChatGPT and now we have a protein font (fable, of course, didn't want to help me). this was not fully automated, i had to dial in some details like the protein sizes etc, but jointly me and codex got it working. i put the whole pipeline on my github below so you can mess with it too. bring your own gpus, its kind of expensive.

I just want everyone to know that the first exposure the Plymouth Colony Pilgrims had with Native Americans was... Samoset coming up to their camp and—in perfect English—saying "Welcome, Englishmen. Could I have some beer?"

Grok Bot is the best AI agent right now and a full walkthrough just dropped covering setup, use cases and plugins. An army of agents working around the clock 24/7. Set it up correctly and the leverage is real. Video

I have to say, Grok 4.6 with the grok build harness is probably the best all-around, value-for-money subscription out there now on the $300/month Grok SuperHeavy plan. I have two of them now and think I'll probably get a few more. It does all my git commits and other stuff. Fast.

How Anthropic's new results post would read without the PR: Claude orchestrated open-source protein design models, PXDesign, RFdiffusion, Genie, BoltzGen, from a 30k-token expert prompt and 12,500 H100-hours of compute, and designed binders against 14 of 15 targets. Hit rates of 22–35% against a 10–15% baseline, where some of those tools already report similar numbers on their own. The orchestration is genuinely impressive. But the open-source models did most of the lifting, and they came from the Baker lab, Columbia, MIT, ByteDance Seed, and most of them were already wet-lab validated before Claude touched them. Which also sets the ceiling. All these generators share a single PDB-shaped training distribution, so calling four of them doesn't diversify away the blind spot, since they fail together. The targets that worked are the well-studied ones. So the valid claim is that an agent can now drive this stack competently in the regime where the stack already works. Instead, we got this announcement: Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) Many drugs work by binding to a specific target in the body and blocking or changing what it does. An important first step in the drug development process is designing a molecule that can bind tightly to its target. Traditionally, that's meant weeks or months of expert work per target, sifting through a large number of candidates to identify the few that work. We wanted to test if Claude could successfully design novel protein binders from scratch (also called de novo design). With a protein design prompt written by a human expert, Claude autonomously designed protein binders against 14 out of 15 targets. We then worked with Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience, who independently built and tested the proteins Claude designed. Video — https://nitter.net/AnthropicAI/status/2089842387845804246#m

Accepted https://nitter.net/wholemars challenge and tried Grok Bot. I have zero coding experience. My earlier attempt at OpenClaw went nowhere. In the last two nights I set up the bot, linked my email, had it build a full 12-page household budget PowerPoint, created a team of bots to help with my wife’s business, and got it sending me daily Tesla news recaps. Insanely easy to set up and navigate. It walks you through everything step by step. Yes… it’s addicting.

what is happening here: claude used existing open source tools and orchestrated them together to do a protein design campaign (with a big guide prompt!) this is a win for claude because doing this orchestration requires a lot of biological judgement and knowledge however, the tools are doing A LOT of the lifting here so it is just as important to give credit where it is due to the open source academic community. this is not just typing into claude "hey give me a binder to X" and have it spit out a protein sequence. this also means that the limitations of these tools need to be thought about, and in particular we know that all of these tools fall down when faced with targets that are outside of the range of their training data (so we can't really design binders against most targets with them) so... this is cool but you really need to think about it in context Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) Many drugs work by binding to a specific target in the body and blocking or changing what it does.

I’ve finally had the chance to play with Grok 4.6 today after exhausting all of my Codex usage. Grok Build + 4.6 has been the best experience I’ve had in a while. TLDR; It’s super fast and it just works. Full thoughts: It’s still extremely fast like 4.5 was but I can feel how much smarter it is. Because of the speed I find myself more involved in what’s going on because I don’t have to wait forever between responses, which means I’m context switching a lot less and actually getting things done end to end. I haven’t had the chance to use it on really complex projects yet but we’ll see how that goes. I’ve been rocking the $100 Codex plan for a while but i think I’d actually be willing to get Supergrok Heavy, I’ve never considered getting the $200 GPT plan.

I just built a brand-new landing page for my music and podcasts in only 10 minutes using Grok Build. It’s live in my bio now. 🔥 Bye-bye, Linktree. Who needs it when you have Grok Build? Video

We have paused some frontier RL training to ensure that we can meet the appropriate alignment, security and monitoring standards for the new level of capabilities in front of us. Model progress is now extremely rapid, and we always said we would take action if we felt that model capabilities were outstripping the pace of safety and alignment. We care very deeply about AI safety. We believe the entire field will have to coordinate on shared safety standards, but will act unilaterally in the meantime. We expect confidence in safety to increasingly set the pace of AI progress. We are optimistic about the alignment work we are doing, and we remain committed to making frontier capabilities widely available. https://openai.com/index/pacing-model-development-cyber-capabilities/ Link Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities OpenAI is strengthening monitoring, alignment, and security for frontier AI models.

WTF, THIS GUY FROM CURSOR GAVE GROK BOT A PILE OF CLOTHES HIS SISTER WAS TOO LAZY TO SELL – AND IT HANDLED THE ENTIRE SALE BY ITSELF His sister had tons of clothes she never wore anymore, but selling them meant taking photos, creating listings, adding descriptions, answering buyers and negotiating prices – so she kept putting it off. He gave the entire task to Grok Bot. It looked at the photos, identified the items, created the listings, pulled in the relevant information and started negotiating with buyers on its own. No babysitting. No approving every message. No sitting there telling it what to do next. Grok Bot has its own computer, so once he handed over the task, it just kept going. And that’s what makes this interesting. The biggest problem with small tasks isn’t usually the work itself. It’s the mental load of remembering them, starting them, checking them, replying to people and making sure they actually get finished. AI agents are starting to remove that entire layer. You don’t need to ask AI how to sell your clothes. You can just say: “Sell these”. And let it figure out the rest. Everyone has a list of things they’ve been putting off for months.

Elon Musk and SpaceX have been true champions for Ukraine since day one of the full-scale invasion. Immediately after the russian attack became known, Elon ordered the dispatch of Starlink terminals. He didn't wait for a request from Ukraine and intervened to help the country before it was sent, something that not many people know. He activated Starlink, which restored vital connectivity when conventional networks were shattered. This resilient satellite internet became the backbone of Ukrainian resilience. Starlinks are powering frontline coordination, drone operations, hospitals, emergency services, and civilian life amid relentless attacks. Tens of thousands of terminals keep forces connected and effective. In 2026, Elon’s swift action to block unauthorized russian use of Starlink delivered game-changing results. It protected Ukraine’s air defenses, safeguarded the air force, and spared thousands of civilian lives, enabling the largest territorial gains in years. As former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has rightly said, Elon is “the most important tech person and entrepreneur in the world for our country” and a true friend of the Ukrainian people. Thank you, Elon and SpaceX, for standing firmly with freedom!

So much for the 'law and order' crowd. Turns out, Trump's DOJ was busy running shakedowns, using "investigations" into college antisemitism as a cover. A whistleblower and a federal judge both confirm what many suspected: these were pre-baked ploys, designed not to find facts, but to harass, punish specific universities, and strip them of millions. Talk about weaponizing the government – they literally admitted there was no violation but pushed for settlements anyway. Pure political theater to grab cash. These are the same folks who scream about free speech being under attack, yet their own operation here was explicitly "designed to harass professors and administrators... to curtail their freedom of speech and academic freedom." They based investigations on a single newspaper article about "Free Palestine" protests, then pressured schools into paying hundreds of millions, essentially extorting cash with no admission of wrongdoing. Harvard fought it and won, proving it was all smoke and mirrors, a "large scale fraud" aimed squarely at their political enemies. https://www.ms.now/news/frame-up-whistleblower-says-probes-into-antisemitism-at-colleges-were-ploys-to-harass-and-strip-millions Link Whistleblower says probes into antisemitism at colleges were ploys to harass and strip millions A former Justice Department lawyer says the Trump investigations squeezed Ivy League universities for millions before they were even concluded.

73% of women on the titanic survived. Only 19% of men did. Read that again. Even the richest men alive, class, power, status, all useless when the ship started sinking. Hierarchy collapsed. Gender didn’t. “Women and children first” Not a suggestion. A rule men didn’t break. Men stood there. No panic No begging. Just accepted it. They didn’t ask: “Do I know her?” “Is she worth it?” “Will she remember me?” No one asked if it was fair. No camera. No applause. No second chances. Zero return. Full cost.

Some thoughts on Dario’s post: 1. Dario does not actually address Gavin Baker’s account of what he said – something he could easily deny if it were inaccurate. 2. Dario claims his critics live in a “bubble” where all regulation equals regulatory capture. He calls this an overly simplified view and notes that “Many people outside this bubble think of regulation as something that constrains corporate power and benefits ordinary people.” This argument is a straw man. Of course treating all regulation as capture would be overly simplified – but almost no one holds that view. I have repeatedly argued for strong antitrust enforcement to keep industries competitive, especially Big Tech. If Anthropic continues toward monopoly or duopoly status, I would be among the first to demand those rules apply. 3. Regulatory capture is not vague or in the eye of the beholder. Nobel laureate George Stigler defined it as regulation acquired by an industry and designed and operated primarily for its benefit. Stigler challenged the traditional view that government regulation arises from a benevolent state protecting the public from market failures. Rather, industry groups have concentrated stakes and pour resources into influencing regulators, whereas the public’s stake is diffuse and unorganized. The revolving door between companies and the agencies that regulate them compounds the problem. Anthropic understands these dynamics: it has hired multiple senior Biden AI-policy officials and built a substantial government-affairs operation plus a network of aligned organizations to push its preferred frameworks at state and federal levels. 4. Dario has consistently pushed for a new federal agency to review and approve frontier models prior to release – a proposal framed variously as an “FDA for AI,” an “FAA for AI,” and most recently a “FINRA for AI.” I call it a “DMV for AI” because a review process modeled on the FAA or FDA (which takes years) or FINRA (which issues rules for a staid industry widely seen as protecting incumbents) will create long queues as AI models wait for testing and approval. This process will only become more labyrinthine as rules accumulate to prevent theoretical harms. This would handicap the U.S. relative to China, which will not adopt the same constraints. It would also undermine Anthropic’s own business model, whose pricing power depends on remaining ahead of open models. Whatever Dario states today, it is difficult to believe the company would simply accept outcomes that erase that advantage. 5. Anthropic is on track to become one of the most valuable companies in history, with the resources to navigate any approval process and shape the rules while competitors wait. Dario wants open models under heavier scrutiny – he has called them dangerous in Senate testimony, criticized them for not being centrally monitored or withdrawn, and linked them to IP theft. He says he has never sought a ban, but he could achieve a similar result by insisting that identical rules apply to both open and closed models. The U.S. risks becoming an island of costly closed models while the rest of the world races ahead with broader choice. 6. Dario acknowledges that AI is structurally centralizing but attributes this mainly to chips and scaling laws. Access to compute matters, but the deeper risk is who decides which capabilities are available to whom. His preferred pre-deployment testing and FAA/FINRA-style oversight would place that gatekeeping power in a federal bureaucracy working hand-in-glove with a small number of frontier labs – reinforcing centralization rather than countering it. 7. The second part of Dario’s post assumes we have amnesia about Anthropic’s well-orchestrated campaigns hyping AI fears. His May 2025 claim that AI would wipe out 50 percent of entry-level knowledge jobs within five years still lacks supporting evidence fifteen months later. Similarly Anthropic breathlessly promoted its heavily contrived “blackmail” study on 60 Minutes. Yet Dario blames public negativity on a long-standing loss of trust in institutions rather than his own messaging. 8. These narratives have done more than anything to shape public fear. People are left asking the same question Mark Zuckerberg posed: why race to build a future you describe in such negative terms? Thomas Sowell’s "The Vision of the Anointed" captures the mindset – elite intellectuals convinced that only they are enlightened enough to control the outcome. As Zuckerberg notes, concentrating power in the hands of an enlightened few has rarely produced the promised results; the practitioners turn out to be less enlightened in practice than in self-conception. 9. Gavin Baker summarized the disagreement cleanly on our pod: Dario believes frontier AI is too powerful to distribute; we believe it is too powerful to centralize. Dario appears to believe, sincerely, that safety and progress are best served by centralizing authority in a marriage of corporate and state power. The weight of human history gives us reason to fear that outcome. Dario Amodei (@DarioAmodei) 1/2 Thanks Gavin for an especially thoughtful exchange. I don't usually spend much time on social media but I wanted to engage here because it really brings out the heart of an important conversation. First, on regulation, I think that “either concentrate it in the hands of a chosen few companies and politicians via regulation or distribute it widely” is a false choice.  I know that there’s a sort of Silicon Valley shorthand where regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power, but I’ve always found this to be an overly simplified picture of the world.  Many people outside this bubble think of regulation as something that constrains corporate power and benefits ordinary people.  I don’t necessarily agree with that perspective either, rather I think it’s complicated and really depends on what the “regulation” consists of.  But in particular I think that those in the “regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power” frame often underrate the decentralizing power of objective and fair institutional processes.  A crude analogy is that the formal court system can sometimes feel stuffy and elitist, but it does a much better job of defending the rights of vulnerable individuals than the alternative, mob justice.  At their best, institutions can vest power in ideas rather than people, and thereby decentralize that power. This is why Anthropic has always made its policy proposals very carefully.  We try very hard to make proposals that disadvantage (slow down) frontier AI companies while *advantaging* smaller competitors.  California’s SB53 (which we supported), and even the much-maligned SB 1047 (which we were ambivalent on), completely exempt any company below a certain amount of revenue or model training costs from being covered at all (it was $500M for SB 53, lower for 1047 but we objected to that).  More recently the testing process we’ve advocated for at CAISI and the White House involves more rigorous tests for frontier models than off-frontier models — something that differentially advantages challengers.  Similarly, the “Pacing the Frontier” letter envisions (or at least Anthropic’s preferred implementation of it envisions) modulating the pace of the very best models while not constraining those who are catching up.  This hurts the business interests of the frontier labs and helps challengers, including open-weights! Overall my view is that AI is *structurally* a technology that tends to concentrate power, for reasons that have nothing to do with regulation (more to do with the extreme implications of the scaling laws).  Open-weights do help some with this but are nowhere near a sufficient solution because they simply shift the concentration somewhat to those with the most compute and chips (which are roughly the frontier labs plus maybe hardware providers).  By contrast I think the right “rules of the road” can simultaneously (a) address AI’s cyber/bio/alignment risks, (b) institutionally constrain the power of the frontier AI companies, and (c) leave room for open-weights models while also addressing the specific risks that they bring. BTW I do not think that the events of the last few months have “failed to result in [my] preferred regulatory path”.  The approach that the Trump administration is reported to be taking — pre-deployment testing for frontier models, and also testing of open-weights models when they get closer to the frontier — is one that I am very supportive of, though of course I have to see the details to be sure.  I am also supportive of Demis Hassabis’ ideas around a FINRA-like entity.  This contrasts with six months ago when most of the industry was still pushing for preemption of all state regulation and no apparent federal approach either. — https://nitter.net/DarioAmodei/status/2088758816376807762#m

There are two separate questions regarding Dario Amodei’s post about AI and biology: motivation and reality. Motivation. Dario started in biology (was a PhD student of the great Bill Bialek). It might be that the master plan really was to first build much more capable AI systems, and eventually use them to cure diseases. Maybe coding models, chatbots, Claude Code, etc. were never the final destination. They were the road toward models capable of becoming genuinely useful scientific collaborators. It might also be that there was no master plan at all. Anthropic spent years pushing the frontier in coding and general reasoning; those systems have now become much more capable, and this is simply a good moment to turn more attention toward biology. Maybe, but there is also a more cynical interpretation: “Curing cancer” is an extraordinarily powerful form of reputation laundering. They are basically saying: "Yes, we are perhaps creating the largest concentration of technological and economic power in modern history." Yes, we want governments to restrict who can build and access the most powerful versions of this technology. Yes, ordinary people increasingly have less visibility into what the frontier systems can do. But don’t worry - we’re the good guys! We are going to cure cancer. And this is where I disagree with Dario’s claim that “the thing that will work is actually curing cancer.” Suppose Anthropic really does help cure a major cancer. That would be an extraordinary achievement, but curing cancer would not answer the question of who should control AI. A company can create enormous social value and simultaneously accumulate too much power. The pharmaceutical industry itself is a good example. Creating life-saving drugs doesn’t automatically resolve questions about pricing, access, lobbying, competition, data rights or public accountability. And there is another problem with the biology story. I am very bullish about AI for science. We’ve discussed AI drug discovery and related areas several times on our podcast. AI can accelerate literature review, target discovery, protein and molecule design, experimental planning, analysis, and many other parts of the pipeline. But biology is not software. You can make an AI reason 100x faster. You cannot simply make a human body respond to a drug 100x faster. Wet-lab experiments take physical time. Toxicity takes time to observe. Human trials take time. Long-term side effects take time. Diseases are heterogeneous. Manufacturing, recruitment and validation happen in the physical world. AI can remove some bottlenecks, but not all of them. Also, if these models really have a plausible path to curing cancer, Alzheimer’s, hepatitis and other diseases, then “pacing AI progress” has a cost too. If delaying frontier AI by a year delays a cure by a year, that isn’t an abstract opportunity cost. People die during that year. And of course the most important question that I think Dario’s post doesn’t answer: Who gets to decide who may use intelligence, whose data may be used, and for what purpose? Because almost every “safety” policy has a political economy. If the outcome is consistently: Anthropic gets more control, frontier models become less accessible, customers have fewer choices, smaller competitors face higher compliance costs, and governments become increasingly dependent on a handful of frontier labs to tell them what is safe… Then it's rational for people to ask whether every restriction is only about safety. That question remains legitimate even if everyone at Anthropic is acting in complete good faith (Are they?) Maybe people aren’t distrusting AI because they don’t understand how wonderful the future could be. Maybe they distrust a future in which a tiny number of companies build enormously powerful systems, tell everyone else how dangerous those systems are, lobby for rules governing who gets access to them and then ask society to trust that the companies controlling them are the right people to decide. If Anthropic helps cure cancer, I will be the first to applaud. But “we cured cancer” is an argument for AI's value. It is not an argument for concentrating control of AI.

Physical AI evals are starting to become a real category. Until recently, most VLA evaluation was basically: LIBERO → success rate → leaderboard. Now we're seeing a much broader stack emerge: • Allen AI — unified VLA eval across 18+ simulation benchmarks • LeRobot — one eval interface across multiple sim benchmarks • PhAIL — real robots + production metrics like throughput and failures • Robocurve — independent, real-world robot evaluation • RoboDojo — bringing sim + real-world evaluation together The interesting part isn't just more benchmarks. It's the move from: “Can the robot complete this task?” to: “How reliable, fast and general is this system in the physical world?” I think independent physical AI evals are going to become increasingly important as robot models start looking more and more similar on demos.

For about 10 years now, I have argued that the *only* way forward is for AI technology to be widely available, shared, and open. Like the printing press and the Internet, AI amplifies human intelligence and efficiency by improving access to knowledge. To empower individuals, societies require a high diversity of AI systems with different value systems, linguistic abilities, philosophical/political biases, and specific expertise. We need diverse AIs for same reason we need a diverse press. Given the cost and complexity, this can only be achieved through open foundation models on top of which anyone can build systems with their languages, biases, expertise, and value systems. I have been more vocal about this over the last 4 years, since AI popped into the public discourse. I have made the argument in various forums: corporate C-suites, AI safety discussion groups, professional meeting, the US Senate, the UN Security Council, and the public sphere through media interviews, podcasts and social media posts. I totally agree with https://nitter.net/finkd Mark Zuckerberg's recent piece in which he writes: "the notion that AI is so dangerous that the only safe path is an extreme concentration of power seems inherently problematic. Historically, hoping that an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity if sufficiently enlightened has not led to safe or positive outcomes.” When https://nitter.net/DarioAmodei writes: “some may object that we can simply keep AIs in check with a balance of power between many AI systems, as we do with humans", he is talking about me, among (thankfully) many others. It is the only good path forward. There will be nefarious uses of AI, as there have been with every technology ever invented. But it will be your Bad AI against my Good AI.

Dear Dario, 1. If Claude can cure cancer to save people like your dad, why should we "pace the progress"? Does that mean more people with Hepatitis C will die? 2. If Fable is so cyber-capable that it must be restricted, why are its safeguards too dumb to distinguish cyber defense from cyber offense prompts? When Hugging Face was under attack, why did Fable refuse to help the defenders? 3. We’re glad you want AI to cure cancer. Why is it OK for Claude to force 30-day data retention on pharma's own data and start competing firms but NOT OK (IP theft) if others distill Claude's data? 4. You’ve said advanced models can recognize when they’re being tested and change their behavior accordingly. So why is government(or anyone) able to design the most thorough test before every model launch? Would that just encourage manipulative models? It seems that every one of your “safety” proposals seems to end the same way: Anthropic gets more leverage, ordinary users get less access, customers pay higher costs, and competitors bear higher regulatory costs, maybe people are not distrusting AI, they are distrusting your approaches with AI. Dario Amodei (@DarioAmodei) 2/2 Second, on the messaging around AI.  I do not agree that my messaging has been disproportionately negative.  In fact it has been about equally balanced between risks and benefits: I’ve written one major essay about each, and even in interviews where I discuss the risks, I make sure to frequently mention the incredible benefits as well as proposing possible solutions to the risks (short clips from my interviews that end up on social media tend to be disproportionately negative, as that gets clicks).  In fact, I wrote Machines of Loving Grace because I didn’t feel the AI industry was painting an inspiring enough picture of how the technology could radically transform the world for the better.  The bulk of the essay is devoted to refuting skepticism of AI’s potential in health and biology, and showing why I think it will actually be possible to cure most human disease in ~5-10 years, as crazy as it may sound to ordinary people and frankly to biologists as well (I used to be one!).  And, if you read my most recent essay (Policy on the AI Exponential), I discuss concrete proposals for how to streamline the FDA process to make sure the deluge of AI-accelerated drugs isn’t slowed down by the regulatory process.  I feel the urgency here: I lost my father to Hepatitis C only a few years before the development of direct-acting antivirals (sofosbuvir), which cure 95% of patients and probably would have cured him. I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks.  I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust.  I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over.  The causes of this go back decades and AI is just the latest iteration of it.  I don’t think that a glitzy marketing campaign with a positive spin (which some have advocated that Anthropic do) is the way to win back that trust — at this point, saying that AI will cure cancer is more a cliche than it is inspiring, and most people think it is deceptive.  The thing that will work is *actually curing cancer*.  I think by far the most accurate criticism of AI companies including Anthropic is that we haven’t yet delivered on our big promises to benefit the world.  That is totally on us, and I think it’s the criticism you should be making, instead of all this stuff about messaging and marketing. We are however doing our best to fix this: Anthropic is ramping up its efforts very quickly in biology and medicine, and we hope to have incredible results in the coming years and some early glimmers in the coming months.  When we’ve actually accomplished something real, the whole world will hear about it, as loudly as possible, you have my word on that.  But until then I don’t want to make empty promises, and in the meantime I feel compelled to speak honestly about the very real risks of AI and how to address them.  Honesty is the right thing on the merits, and in terms of public credibility and trust it is no worse than, and may in fact be better than, an approach that ignores or distracts from risks which people instinctively understand are real. — https://nitter.net/DarioAmodei/status/2088758819304443967#m

This PERFECTLY explains why ‘The Left’ is obsessed with being morally superior “Did you ever ask yourself why it's always the weakest, least competent, and average IQ people who base their entire identity on morality and tolerance?” Here’s the psychology behind it: “Every human being carries the same deep drive to matter, to be respected, to reach something external, whether that's money, status, an attractive partner, or genuine skill at something. In the real world, all of these get measured through competence, strength, and intelligence, and that's exactly the problem for people who fall short on those measurements. They still feel the drive, but they can't reach the goal, at least not to the degree others can, and unconsciously they experience the inferiority that comes with actual objective inferiority. To avoid feeling useless and insignificant, they move the target. Instead of competence, the goal becomes being a good person, a goal defined entirely by them that requires no measurable skill, no competition, and no real work to declare victory in. This gets them the exact same feeling of accomplishment without ever having to develop any of the competence that would normally be required to earn it. That's the path the weak and the incapable take because it's the only game left where they can still call themselves winners.” You could spend 1000 years trying to come up with a better explanation for liberals and their mindset and you wouldn’t be able to, because this is it If you fail at everything else, you simply make your entire life about being “morally superior” Video

I am doing my best to stop back from this subject as it should be obvious what we are seeing here. However the arrogance that us commoners are too dumb to catch his grift must be addressed. Receipts: Dario Amodei’s carefully worded reply is a masterclass in having it both ways. He frames regulation as a nuanced force for decentralization while his actual track record and recent actions scream regulatory capture designed to protect Anthropic’s closed, frontier position. The contradictions are not subtle; they are structural. He insists the “concentrate via regulation or distribute widely” framing is a “false choice,” and that Anthropic’s proposals deliberately disadvantage frontier labs while advantaging smaller competitors and open-weights. Look at the evidence. Anthropic was the glaring holdout from Jensen Huang’s open-weights letter—signed by Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Microsoft, SpaceX and dozens of others. Amodei’s July 2026 clarification that “Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weight models” arrived only after the absence drew accusations of protectionism. He still rejected the letter’s core claim that open-weights help defenders more than attackers, leaning hard into biology attacker-defender asymmetry instead. Incongruent at best. That is not “leaving room” for open-weights; it is carving out a privileged safety-testing regime for “sufficiently capable” models (open or closed) that inevitably raises the bar for anyone trying to catch up. Compute thresholds and mandatory third-party audits favor the labs that already have the capital, talent, and lobbying muscle—i.e., Anthropic. The same pattern appeared with SB 1047: Anthropic was “ambivalent,” pushed amendments that safety advocates said weakened preemptive accountability, and later celebrated exemptions that conveniently applied only below certain revenue/compute levels. Calling this “hurting the business interests of the frontier labs” while Anthropic is one of the largest frontier labs is pure theater. On messaging he claims balance—one major essay on benefits (Machines of Loving Grace), one on risks—and blames negative clips on media incentives. Reality is the opposite. Amodei’s public record is a steady drumbeat of catastrophic framing: AI that will “test us as a species,” bioweapons capable of millions of casualties, 50% entry-level white-collar job destruction, nation-state-level “country of geniuses in a datacenter,” and the explicit call in Policy on the AI Exponential(June 2026) for government power to block or reverse deployment of models that fail third-party tests. The positive essay exists; the dominant, repeated, high-salience output does not. Gavin Baker is right that this rhetoric is now ammunition for anti-datacenter campaigns. Amodei cannot simultaneously warn that the technology is so existentially dangerous it requires FAA-style pre-deployment veto power and act surprised when the public and local activists take him at his word. Dario is the poster boy for that Anti Clanker movement, just ask them. He further claims his preferred path is succeeding under the current administration’s reported testing regime. Yet the industry-wide rejection of broad open-weights restrictions (everyone but Anthropic signed the letter) and the rapid backlash when his own earlier risk language was turned against Anthropic’s models demonstrate the opposite. His own June essay handed policymakers the exact rhetorical and policy tools that later constrained his company. That is not strategic consistency; it is the predictable outcome of maximalist risk rhetoric from a player whose commercial model benefits from higher barriers. Yet plays the game like it’s not his fault like it is 2008. No one of thought buys it outside the Ends-Justifies-The-Means EA/LessWrong club house. The deeper contradiction is the one he never resolves: he admits scaling laws structurally concentrate power in the hands of those with the most compute and chips, then claims the right “rules of the road” can simultaneously constrain frontier labs and protect open-weights. Those two statements cannot both be true under the policies he actually advances. Mandatory testing for models “when they get closer to the frontier” is a moving gate that keeps the frontier club exclusive. Open-weights that lack “dangerous capabilities” are a public good—until they become competitive, at which point the testing regime kicks in. Even Claude points this out, go check. This is not good-faith institutionalism. It is a closed-lab CEO who has an almost Enron level crisis arguing that the institutions he prefers will benevolently constrain him while the evidence shows those same institutions raise rivals’ costs and keep the most capable systems behind closed APIs. The skepticism is earned. He will return to his ivory tower as he said, he has no time for us commoners on “social media”. as if X is “social media” seeing he brought this story to our real town square.

First, on regulation, I think that “either concentrate it in the hands of a chosen few companies and politicians via regulation or distribute it widely” is a false choice.  I know that there’s a sort of Silicon Valley shorthand where regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power, but I’ve always found this to be an overly simplified picture of the world.  Many people outside this bubble think of regulation as something that constrains corporate power and benefits ordinary people.  I don’t necessarily agree with that perspective either, rather I think it’s complicated and really depends on what the “regulation” consists of.  But in particular I think that those in the “regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power” frame often underrate the decentralizing power of objective and fair institutional processes.  A crude analogy is that the formal court system can sometimes feel stuffy and elitist, but it does a much better job of defending the rights of vulnerable individuals than the alternative, mob justice.  At their best, institutions can vest power in ideas rather than people, and thereby decentralize that power. This is why Anthropic has always made its policy proposals very carefully.  We try very hard to make proposals that disadvantage (slow down) frontier AI companies while *advantaging* smaller competitors.  California’s SB53 (which we supported), and even the much-maligned SB 1047 (which we were ambivalent on), completely exempt any company below a certain amount of revenue or model training costs from being covered at all (it was $500M for SB 53, lower for 1047 but we objected to that).  More recently the testing process we’ve advocated for at CAISI and the White House involves more rigorous tests for frontier models than off-frontier models — something that differentially advantages challengers.  Similarly, the “Pacing the Frontier” letter envisions (or at least Anthropic’s preferred implementation of it envisions) modulating the pace of the very best models while not constraining those who are catching up.  This hurts the business interests of the frontier labs and helps challengers, including open-weights! Overall my view is that AI is *structurally* a technology that tends to concentrate power, for reasons that have nothing to do with regulation (more to do with the extreme implications of the scaling laws).  Open-weights do help some with this but are nowhere near a sufficient solution because they simply shift the concentration somewhat to those with the most compute and chips (which are roughly the frontier labs plus maybe hardware providers).  By contrast I think the right “rules of the road” can simultaneously (a) address AI’s cyber/bio/alignment risks, (b) institutionally constrain the power of the frontier AI companies, and (c) leave room for open-weights models while also addressing the specific risks that they bring. BTW I do not think that the events of the last few months have “failed to result in [my] preferred regulatory path”.  The approach that the Trump administration is reported to be taking — pre-deployment testing for frontier models, and also testing of open-weights models when they get closer to the frontier — is one that I am very supportive of, though of course I have to see the details to be sure.  I am also supportive of Demis Hassabis’ ideas around a FINRA-like entity.  This contrasts with six months ago when most of the industry was still pushing for preemption of all state regulation and no apparent federal approach either. — https://nitter.net/DarioAmodei/status/2088758816376807762#m

Interesting exchange Dario Amodei (@DarioAmodei) 2/2 Second, on the messaging around AI.  I do not agree that my messaging has been disproportionately negative.  In fact it has been about equally balanced between risks and benefits: I’ve written one major essay about each, and even in interviews where I discuss the risks, I make sure to frequently mention the incredible benefits as well as proposing possible solutions to the risks (short clips from my interviews that end up on social media tend to be disproportionately negative, as that gets clicks).  In fact, I wrote Machines of Loving Grace because I didn’t feel the AI industry was painting an inspiring enough picture of how the technology could radically transform the world for the better.  The bulk of the essay is devoted to refuting skepticism of AI’s potential in health and biology, and showing why I think it will actually be possible to cure most human disease in ~5-10 years, as crazy as it may sound to ordinary people and frankly to biologists as well (I used to be one!).  And, if you read my most recent essay (Policy on the AI Exponential), I discuss concrete proposals for how to streamline the FDA process to make sure the deluge of AI-accelerated drugs isn’t slowed down by the regulatory process.  I feel the urgency here: I lost my father to Hepatitis C only a few years before the development of direct-acting antivirals (sofosbuvir), which cure 95% of patients and probably would have cured him. I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks.  I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust.  I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over.  The causes of this go back decades and AI is just the latest iteration of it.  I don’t think that a glitzy marketing campaign with a positive spin (which some have advocated that Anthropic do) is the way to win back that trust — at this point, saying that AI will cure cancer is more a cliche than it is inspiring, and most people think it is deceptive.  The thing that will work is *actually curing cancer*.  I think by far the most accurate criticism of AI companies including Anthropic is that we haven’t yet delivered on our big promises to benefit the world.  That is totally on us, and I think it’s the criticism you should be making, instead of all this stuff about messaging and marketing. We are however doing our best to fix this: Anthropic is ramping up its efforts very quickly in biology and medicine, and we hope to have incredible results in the coming years and some early glimmers in the coming months.  When we’ve actually accomplished something real, the whole world will hear about it, as loudly as possible, you have my word on that.  But until then I don’t want to make empty promises, and in the meantime I feel compelled to speak honestly about the very real risks of AI and how to address them.  Honesty is the right thing on the merits, and in terms of public credibility and trust it is no worse than, and may in fact be better than, an approach that ignores or distracts from risks which people instinctively understand are real. — https://nitter.net/DarioAmodei/status/2088758819304443967#m

Grok 4.6 is my daily driver now. This is why: When I’m using interactive agents in a CLI/terminal (or even Slack), what matters most to me is speed & token throughput. Intelligence and differences in performance on benchmarks is negligible to me when speed is sacrificed. If I am there to steer & guide the agent, or make some quick fixes, then I don’t want to wait 5+ min per turn. Opus 5 (fast) is a good solution to this, but it is WAY too expensive. Grok 4.6 is perfect though, incredibly fast, almost as smart as Fable, and relatively much cheaper than anything else right now. On the flip side, for cloud agents working in Factories & background tasks triggered on crons, I don’t mind using intelligent, slow models like Fable / Sol. I’d even opt for a model router for cloud tasks that biases to heavy, smart models. I guess the meta point I’m making here is that model choice is largely a function of whether there’s a human waiting in the loop.

Grok has improved massively Dan (@KettlebellDan) Look how much Grok has progressed in just 6 months from Grok 3 to Grok 4.6! As a quick Saturday morning project I gave Grok Build the link to this previous "𝕏 THE GAME" viral (yet ugly) game Grok was able to watch the video, quickly reverse engineer the game, and make dramatic improvements You can play it here (on desktop): https://kettlebelldan.com/x_the_game_v2/ Some lessons I learned: - Grok is extremely token efficient. I was able to iterate on the design many times and still kept the token cost surprisingly low (only a few $ to make this game) - Grok is great at working with humans. Instead of just telling it what to do, or on the other extreme having it go off and do something itself, ask for a list of options on how to improve and tell Grok which ones to implement. A true partnership - Anyone can build things these days with AI, no code knowledge needed What are you building with Grok? Video — https://nitter.net/KettlebellDan/status/2088684788156940337#m

Worth trying Grok 4.6. Fable 5 is smarter overall, but Grok is much faster and lower cost. Grok 4.7 has a good chance of exceeding all current models in intelligence.

Elon Musk stood in a Hollywood living room in 2008, 12 days from bankruptcy, and pitched a $109,000 car to people who thought he was joking. His own Roadster is parked outside production unit 1 and he mentions it the way other men mention a bicycle. He explains the money first. Congress approved $25 billion to build energy-efficient vehicles, then the Big Three flew to Washington and asked for it to cover payroll on gas guzzlers instead. Congress said yes. “That gets them to about February,” he says. Tesla applied to the same fund for the thing the fund was actually written for: a cheaper car. Then comes the part nobody in the room registers. Tesla pays no dividends and never will, because every penny from every $109,000 Roadster goes into the next car down the price ladder. His salary is minimum wage. He doesn’t mention that the company has days of cash left, or that an emergency round has to close by Christmas Eve or it’s over. He talks about cell phones instead how the first ones cost a fortune, how you can’t reach the cheap version without selling the expensive one first. 100 cars built, and the 100th goes out Tuesday. He says he’ll hand over the keys himself. GM filed for bankruptcy 6 months later, and the man on minimum wage didn’t.

You don’t need to waste an hour digging through your Mac’s settings trying to figure out what’s wrong with your laptop Grok Build is insanely capable....just tell Grok Build what’s broken and let it investigate the machine for you You can try things like: • Trackpad suddenly behaving weird • Battery draining ridiculously fast • Microphone isn't working in calls. Diagnose it • Some random website sending Chrome notifications every 10 seconds • External monitor runs at 60Hz but supports 144Hz. Fix it • Mac running hot or slowing down • An app constantly crashing • Something keeping your Mac awake or eating all your CPU? You might have absolutely no idea where the setting is or even what’s causing the problem Grok Build can inspect the system, find the culprit and, with the right tools/skills, actually take action Instead of Googling the problem → opening 20 tabs → digging through Settings → trying random fixes.... Just tell Grok Build what’s wrong and let it figure out the rest

After using Grok Bot nonstop for the past week I'm going to say it: it's the best AI agent out there right now Dead simple and just works It eliminates the 10,000 decisions, configs, and fixes that scare people off The integrated cloud computer unlock so many use cases too: 1. Invited the cloud computer to my community. It opened it up and now monitors the community 24/7. Answering questions and DMs 2. Uses the X plugin to monitor all the AI companies X accounts every 15 minutes around the clock. Looking for updates and big news, alerting me the moment it happens 3. Clicks around testing the 2 apps I'm building around the clock. Looking for bugs, thinking of new features, then writing the PRs and waiting for my review 4. My Grok Bot checks my social media channels around the clock. Moment I post anything, it repurposes the content based on other content I've posted, making writing my newsletter much easier 5. The integrated Grok images are really nice. So I can tell it to go to my YT on its cloud computer and make similar thumbnails for my new videos 6. Checks data in post hog on my product retention, gives me a list of at risk subscribers, prepares emails and reachout, then asks me for the OK Can the other AI agents out there do this? Yes. There's literally nothing Grok Bot can do that the others can't. But here's the thing, the user experience is designed so beautifully that it unhobbles all of these use cases and make them so much more pleasant to execute on Grok Bot is a must try

Posting my reply to https://nitter.net/_sholtodouglas given that some of my comments about Anthropic on https://nitter.net/theallinpod yesterday have been widely discussed here on X and I think the topic is important. Gavin Baker (@GavinSBaker) Sholto, thank you for setting the record straight. Larger issue is that multiple very serious people in Silicon Valley have heard some variation of this and believe it to be true. And the reason it is believable to so many is that it is consistent with Dario’s public messaging and what he outlined in the essay you shared: this technology *might* be dangerous for humans in multiple ways, could lead to extreme concentration of economic power (as outlined in the essay) and therefore needs to be regulated thoughtfully. I agree with the potential risks and I believe Dario makes all of these arguments in good faith. 
As discussed on the pod, if one agrees that AI *might* be dangerous, there are two ways to address this potential risk. Either concentrate it in the hands of a chosen few companies and politicians via regulation or distribute it widely. Essentially boils down to whether one believes AI is too dangerous to concentrate or too dangerous to distribute. There are reasonable arguments on both sides, but I profoundly agree with Zuckerberg’s statement that: “The notion that AI is so dangerous that the only safe path is an extreme concentration of power seems inherently problematic. Historically, hoping that an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity if sufficiently enlightened has not led to safe or positive outcomes.” And as Dario says in the aforementioned essay, “some may object that we can simply keep AIs in check with a balance of power between many AI systems, as we do with humans.” I believe this is the best path forward: I want as many AIs as possible to maximize the odds that one shares my own particular values. And as Dario notes, no human has ever been able to take over the world. At this point, I think safe to say that Dario has lost the argument. His messaging has failed to result in his preferred regulatory path. The fact that the only solution to the recent incident where an unreleased advanced OpenAI model hacked Hugging Face was an open-source model likely ended any chance of strict near-term regulation. Essentially every major company other than Anthropic has signed Jensen’s letter. However, Dario’s messaging has been massively helpful to efforts to ban datacenters here in America. I suspect we will see anti-datacenter advocacy groups runnings ads using clips of Dario warning about how dangerous AI could be for humans. His good faith efforts in favor of regulation are now increasing the odds that AI will not be beneficial for Americans and humans everywhere. I believe that there is a reasonable chance AI might help us cure most forms of disease such that we have extended lifespans and can enjoy these long lives in an abundant Star Trek like future. That is the future that I want and I think Dario is decreasing the odds of that future at this point. He is about to be the CEO of one of the most important public companies in the world and given that the pro-regulatory effort has failed (at least for now), I respectfully think he should make an effort to be a more positive advocate for his own industry. And if I am wrong and we do need to regulate this technology, he will be a more effective advocate for this in the future having been open-minded to the alternative. And for the sake of clarity and as I outlined on the pod, I think Anthropic has deep competitive advantages and is an amazing company. Ironically, the main risk I saw to Anthropic a few months ago was nationalization as a result of Dario’s own rhetoric and behavior. — https://nitter.net/GavinSBaker/status/2088611616577253502#m

😂 Keith Coleman 🌱😀🙌 (@kcoleman) OK let’s try this: ———————- Pretend you’re 5 and the algorithm is a smart robot that picks which toys (posts) to show you in your toy box (For You feed). The robot doesn’t just count how many times people already played with a toy (likes, reports, etc.). Instead, it looks at you and guesses: • “How likely is this kid to like this toy?” • “How likely is this kid to report this toy as yucky?” • “How long might this kid play with it?” Those guesses are little numbers between 0 and 1 (probabilities). The “weights” are like special multipliers the robot puts on those guesses: • A like-guess might get multiplied by a small number (like 0.5). • A report-guess might get multiplied by a big negative number (like –234). Then the robot adds all those multiplied guesses together to give the toy a final “yay or nay” score and sorts the toys by that score. Why the numbers look so big and why people get confused Reports almost never happen, so the robot’s “will you report this?” guess is usually a tiny number (like 0.0001). To make that tiny guess still matter a little bit in the final score, they give it a big multiplier. People sometimes look at the big number and think “1 report = 468 likes!” 
That’s wrong. It’s not counting real reports or real likes. It’s only multiplying the guesses the robot made about you. If the robot thinks you’re the kind of person who almost never reports anything, even a big weight on “report” barely moves the score. The whole thing is personalized to how you usually behave. The people who wrote the code even put big comments in the GitHub repo so no one (and no other robots) gets confused about this again. That’s the whole idea in kid words: the weights turn the robot’s personal guesses about you into a ranking, not a simple “count the hearts and flags.” — https://nitter.net/kcoleman/status/2088451602059309451#m

"I used to always wonder about my reach and visibility and was convinced something was wrong with my account. But it turns out my assumptions were wrong." Now you can check & verify. Karata (@karatademada) I have a clean Under the Hood report for the month of July! 🥳 I used to always wonder about my reach and visibility and was convinced something was wrong with my account. But it turns out my assumptions were wrong. According to my Under the Hood report, X found zero labels on my account or any of my posts that would have limited my reach during July. That means nothing in the system flagged my account or content in a way that reduced its distribution in the For You feed. My posts were not subject to any of the visibility restrictions tracked by the report. So for the entire month of July 2026, I had a completely clean Under the Hood report: zero reach-limiting labels at either the account or post level. 🥳 Sometimes low reach really is just… low reach. 😅 I just love this new feature.

Try Grok 4.6 image & video understanding, it’s a major upgrade! Yun-Ta Tsai (@yunta_tsai) Grok 4.6 multimodal is a step change from Grok 4.5. It’s one of the under-discussed improvements, and I’ve been very impressed by it. My daily work includes reviewing lots of videos and understanding the context; Grok 4.6 improves the productivity of such workloads by at least 10x if not 100x. Such workflows may not be captured by common VLM benchmarks, but in my use cases it outperforms Gemini 3.5 and Gemma 4, which is considered the SOTA of VLMs in my opinion.

In making 𝕏 open source, we are actively seeking criticism to improve fairness and quality of algorithmic recommendations Dogan Ural (@doganuraldesign) 𝕏 just open-sourced the For You algorithm again! Grok Bot read all 370,523 lines of the code. Here’s the summary: Grok does not give your post a “quality” score. For every reader, it guesses what that person will do to your post. Then it multiplies each guess by a weight and adds them up. That total is the value of the post. Highest total goes highest in For You. These are the production weights (last synced 12 Aug 2026). WHAT THE ALGORITHM PAYS FOR If Grok thinks a reader will: • copy the link and share it: +20 • reply, on an original post, and you follow each other: +20 (5 + 15 extra) • quote: +5 • reply (anyone): +5 • share via DM: +5 • follow you from the post: +4 • hit the share button: +2 • repost: +1 • like: +0.5 • click the post: +0.4 • open a link: +0.2 • expand a photo, open a video, or watch a “quality” video: +0.05 each • click a quoted post: +0.05 • keep reading (dwell time): +0.004 • “dwell” as yes/no: +0 • click your profile: +0 A like is 0.5. Copying the link is 20. That is 40 likes. A normal reply is 10 likes. A follow is 8 likes. Clicking your profile is worth nothing. WHAT KILLS A POST If Grok thinks a reader will: • report it: −234 • mute you: −58.8 • hit “not interested”: −43.2 • block you: −31.2 • not dwell: −0.02 A report is about 468 likes in the other direction. A mute hurts more than a block. “Not interested” also hurts more than a block. AFTER THE SCORE, THREE MORE HAIRCUTS 1) Same-author penalty. Your 2nd post in that person’s feed is multiplied by 0.625. 3rd by ~0.44. It never goes below 0.25. Flooding one timeline is coded against. 2) The 25% tax. If they do not follow you: ×0.75. Same tax on replies and reposts even when they DO follow you. Originals from people they follow keep full weight. Replies and reposts are treated as weaker on purpose. 3) Similar-post shuffle. After scoring, a reranker (θ = 0.65) spreads similar posts apart. You can lose a few spots for looking like the post above you. HOW YOUR POST EVEN GETS IN THE ROOM For You is rebuilt every time someone opens it. About 35 posts make the feed. • They follow you: Thunder (a live store of recent posts from accounts they follow). Up to 1,200 candidates. • They don’t: Phoenix retrieval (Grok finds “nearby” posts) + SimClusters (Twitter’s 2020 interest clusters, still on). Up to 1,000 and 800. Then Grok scores all of them together. It does not care which door you came through, except for that ×0.75 tax. Your own posts never appear in your For You. Nothing older than 48 hours gets in. There is no “best of last week.” Small-account bump: under 1,000 followers, under 1,000 impressions, post under 24 hours old. One original can get lifted to position 15 or 16. Not the top. You still have to already be in the top 85% of the pile. Replies and reposts from accounts the reader does not follow are dropped before scoring. You cannot reply-guy your way into a stranger’s For You. FILTERS THAT CAN STILL KILL A HIGH SCORE Ranking and visibility are different machines. A post can score well and then get deleted from the feed. Followers (in-network) is milder: blocks, mutes, suspensions. NSFW often sits behind a warning instead of disappearing. Recommendations (out-of-network) are much harsher. Spam, “Do Not Amplify,” NSFW, compromised accounts, impersonation: followers can still see it, For You recommendations will drop it. Video only gets the tiny “quality view” credit if it is at least 10 seconds. THE LITTLE-KNOWN PARTS (this is the stuff people miss) • Scrolling is not a vote. Yes/no dwell is 0. Time spent barely moves the number (0.004). • Mute damages you more than block (−58.8 vs −31.2). • Copy-link is the single biggest positive. The share button is only +2. A repost is only +1. • The mutual-follow boost is originals only, not your replies. They shipped a bigger version in July and cut it after World Cup complaints (extra reply weight 20 → 15). • The Following tab is not this algorithm. Following is newest-first. • Grok, Gork, and an internal products account are hardcoded out of the in-network store. • Scores are cached for 3 hours because posts inside the model cannot “see” each other. That is why they can rank first and filter later. • Ads, Who to Follow (around slot 7), and prompts are mixed in after ranking. Grok does not score those. • The real Grok ranking model is a 2560-dimension, 8-layer transformer looking at 1,022 items of the reader’s history. They did not ship those model weights. The numbers above are the formula sitting on top of the predictions. • SimClusters is still a 2020 model (20M users, 145k clusters). Old Twitter code, still in the path. • Inferred gender and IP/geo are on as features for the model. Installed apps too. • Who to Follow shows about every 30 hours. Ads try to sit next to “safe” posts, with a minimum gap of 3 organic posts. WHAT TO DO • Write originals people want to reply to, quote, copy, and send to a friend. • Make the post itself worth following you for. • Talk with people who follow you back. A reply on your original from a mutual is 20, not 5. • Stay inside 48 hours. Recycle by posting something new. Old posts do not come back. • If you are small, post originals in the first 24 hours. Don’t expect slot 1. A bump around 15–16 is the actual gift. • Space your posts. The second one in the same feed is already worth 37.5% less. • If you post video, make it at least 10 seconds. WHAT NOT TO DO • Do not farm likes. They are almost decorative. • Do not farm profile visits. Weight is zero. • Do not farm “time on post.” Yes/no dwell is zero. • Do not use replies and reposts as a growth hack for strangers. Those are filtered out. Even for followers they get a 25% haircut. • Do not dump several posts in a row. • Do not bait reports, mutes, or “not interested.” One predicted report can erase a pile of predicted likes. • Do not lean on NSFW or spammy tricks for reach. • Recommendations will drop you even if your followers can still see it. • Do not wait a week and expect For You to revive the post. — https://nitter.net/doganuraldesign/status/2087969186219778252#m

I’ve had my https://nitter.net/Tesla for 9 days—and it’s already saved my life. Full Self-Driving with HW4 is mind-blowing. My car drove me ~800 miles from Georgia to Texas without me touching the wheel or pedals, while avoiding multiple collisions. I’ve never felt safer in a vehicle. Here’s one example of a collision avoided, automatically captured on camera. In this instance (though it doesn’t show my actual POV), sparks covered the windshield, lighting up the road like the Fourth of July and obstructing my view. Since I was in FSD, the car reacted immediately without overcorrecting like I likely would have, which could have led to a far worse outcome. Everyone who’s ridden with me and experienced FSD for the first time is blown away and now looking into buying one—including my parents, who like me have never owned an EV. There’s no telling how many lives this technology will save. This is hands-down the most incredible purchase I’ve ever made. God bless https://nitter.net/elonmusk & the Tesla team🫡 Video

Workers' share of GDP is at its lowest point on record whereas the corporate share is near record highs. This dynamic may exacerbate as Trump's fiscal policies disproportionately benefit corporations and the wealthy.

Grok 4.6 is pretty pretty good. Spent a few hours with it last night. A few impressions: - quite fast for the intelligence - prose descriptions of complex code is concise and clear - able to tackle hard problems (e.g. successfully built a RAM probe to pull position information from the PRG emulator I'm using) - Seems particularly good at longer running tasks - May be even more autistic than 5.6? It does exactly what I ask. Not more. And often will take things very (too?) literally - Gonna try it as my primary driver and see how it goes, but so far, quite favorable

Less than 48 hours ago, SpaceXAI dropped Grok 4.6. People are already building crazy stuff with it. 10 wild examples:

The OpenAI Foundation is launching AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy to help nonprofits, community organizations, and other trusted partners put advanced AI to work on urgent challenges, develop practical solutions and scale what works. The first effort is a $100 million commitment with Common Health Coalition to launch Breakthroughs to Follow-through to help care teams use AI to reach more patients with proven treatments - starting with the goal of doubling hepatitis C cure rates in Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana, and Massachusetts. Breakthroughs to Follow-through will work to identify patients who have fallen out of care, synthesize records, track progress, and focus limited staff time where it can have the greatest impact. The OpenAI Foundation wants to empower those who are closest to issues and to put AI to work where it can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. https://openaifoundation.org/news/civil-society-and-philanthropy Video

And for good reason It is an EXCELLENT AI agent But you HAVE to set it up the right way Here are the first 5 steps to make your Grok Bot agent team SUPER powerful: 1. Brain dump everything about yourself, goals, passions, and career into the initial agent. This is going to give it the context it needs to set up your agent team 2. Next, prompt the agent "Based on what you know about me, what do you think would be the best set up of this Grok Bot app? Which bots should I make and what should their responsibilities be? This should enable the best workflow and productivity" This will give you the perfect plan for setting up Grok Bot 3. After reviewing the plan, ask the Bot to set up your workspace for you. It will create the agents, give the right context and descriptions, and make sure your setup is built for productivity 4. Next, ask it for which routines each agent can set up to help you out the most. This should give you a list of cron jobs (routines) that each agent can do on a regular interval 5. Ask the agent to implement these And just like that, you have the most powerful AI agent on the internet all set up. You have an entire fleet of agents ready to go and do work for you. And in fact, because you set up the routines, they're ALREADY doing work for you Enjoy the AGI

After the pandemic, real wages grew strongly across the board — and pay rose faster at the bottom and middle than at the top, by the widest margin on record. Under Trump, real wage growth has cratered, and the lowest-paid have fallen furthest behind.

I can't blame regular, every day folks from being scared or angry about AI. Too many AI execs were out there shouting about how AI would take all the jobs, eat your children, and kill your puppies. If I heard that as I regular person, I'd go, "Uh, WTF? No way, we don't want that! How do we stop that?" There are also actual lunatics whose job it is to scare them. They get paid to write books and go on podcasts and the news and talk crazy town about AI killing us all and how only mass authoritarianism can save them. In any other time before social media they would be confined to the lunatic fringe. But today, any crazy train can get 1M followers. Unfortunately, what regular people are worried about with AI is not grounded in reality. They've been terrified by scary bedtime stories by highly neurodivergent folks who read too much sci-fi and thought it was a documentary or who are just hallucinating like Tim Leary on a bad bender that they're rational when they're totally irrational. Let's be clear, there are real fears about AI. But they're not the ones anyone is talking about. They are: Mass surveillance and war. Not one thing is being done about either and it will not be because government will always reserve the right to do both and will never restrict themselves on either front. Full stop. Or how about, privacy? Nothing being done about it. Talk to your AI about your pending divorce and watch it show up in court. We are going in the opposite direction and people are cheering it on like it's a good thing. When you see the complaints about AI, they make no sense because they make no sense at the surface level. They are nonsense arguments but you can't understand those arguments based on the content of the argument. You have to understand that it is a deeper fear that is rising from the well and the person has no context or compass to express it clearly and rationality so they come up with something, anything, to express that fear, even if it makes no sense. In essence, all they are saying is: "I'm scared and I don't like this." The actual complaints are not tethered to reality. But they are real emotions. And that fear was created by an astroturfed info war campaign, deeper fears about powerful people and big business and the very things people in the industry said coming back to haunt them like chickens coming home to roost. It's irrational. But it makes sense. It's understandable. We've got to do much better as an industry and show people a powerful and positive future. Nobody riots against a future they can see themselves in. We've got to show them a better one.

The “covered up” data was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in September 2021, where it has sat, publicly, for five years. It shows vaccinated women miscarried at the same rate as everyone else, about 1 in 8. The 82% figure comes from a denominator error: it counts only pregnancies that had already ended, months into a nine-month process, which at that point meant mostly the losses. The healthy pregnancies were still ongoing. A cover-up conducted by publication in the world’s most-read medical journal is a genuinely novel approach. Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) Bombshell Data: Fauci Covered up that Covid Vaccine Produced 82% Miscarriage Rate We now have the receipts: Dr. Fauci and Pfizer knew the second dose of the COVID vaccine carried an 82% risk of miscarriage for women in their first trimester New episode of Verdict with https://nitter.net/BenFergusonshow is out now.

The study cited in the Pfizer report found a miscarriage rate of approximately 10.4% to 12.6% once all participants were included, which is consistent with the normal background rate of 10-26% in the general population. https://nitter.net/t.co/pXVT20hYGt https://nitter.net/t.co/tSU2Jj9sQf — https://nitter.net/tedcruz/status/2087557490917462062#m

Just got off the phone with an early Anthropic investor. The situation seems worse than I thought. Morale with investors and employees are at an all time low. Anger is rising at the more and more doctoral leadership that is now isolated. They asked for my advice and opinion on how they survive as an independent company. We talked about the cult they tried to hold on to as the company grew and they had no idea how bad the belief system was inside the core group. I warned them before they invested. What’s really changed is kids grow up and get married and have kids. They mature their political and philosophical views, many leave the cult-like thinking they had as a collage kid. This maturity and new hires that don’t buy into the cult have built a hidden communication system to vent their anger over the increasingly hostile upper priest class. I had them make connections to engineers that work there for more insights. Many feel stuck between losing the equity they built and mental health of the cult. I hate to see this and believe Dario means well in his own mind but unfortunately has not thought out how the real world works. And money has insulted him from anyone that could reach him. It is unfortunately a story as old as time. This is one of the premier AI companies and they are flaming out. It is not good for anyone other than countries that want to see the US fail. The investor conceded I was right about how the philosophy these folks held would be their undoing when they asked long ago. I pray for a good outcome for all.

As soon as I got the new for the release for Grok Bot i just said Grok build to install it...and it handled the entire process for me i've been doing a lot of these tasks since the release of Grok Build I never actually installed anything myself since than.....searching and downloading and installing myself is a lot of time compared to what Grok build can do it it’s super easy and it also tells you everything you need to know after it completes the tasks...that's how I got to know that you can power it up with your SuperGrok Heavy subscription i literally use it so much for daily routines....now it feels like hell to do anything manually that I used to do before 😅 X Freeze (@XFreeze) SpaceX’s recent video volume was a little low, so I just gave it to Grok Build and asked it to increase the volume by +10 dB Grok analyzed the audio, boosted it, added soft compression + limiting to keep everything under control, and gave me the finished video Then after seeing the audio levels Grok gave me, I realized there was still room to push it another +10 dB So I literally asked again Grok Build boosted it to +20 dB total, re-encoded the video and handed me the final file And it did the whole thing literally in just 25 seconds 😭 If I were doing this manually, I’d have to open editing software, understand gain, compression and limiting, adjust everything myself and export the video again That could easily take me 10–20 minutes With Grok Build, I just explained what I wanted in plain English and it handled everything for me — https://nitter.net/XFreeze/status/2087421322418700763#m

Here's my conversation with Khabib Nurmagomedov (https://nitter.net/TeamKhabib), one of the greatest fighters of all time. It was truly an honor to get to train with him, to have this deep conversation, and to get to know him over the past few months. We did this conversation entirely in Russian. It's translated and dubbed into English. Both language audio tracks and subtitles are available on YouTube. Here on X, I'm posting the English & Russian language versions as seperate videos.

Grok Build is extremely powerful X Freeze (@XFreeze) SpaceX’s recent video volume was a little low, so I just gave it to Grok Build and asked it to increase the volume by +10 dB Grok analyzed the audio, boosted it, added soft compression + limiting to keep everything under control, and gave me the finished video Then after seeing the audio levels Grok gave me, I realized there was still room to push it another +10 dB So I literally asked again Grok Build boosted it to +20 dB total, re-encoded the video and handed me the final file And it did the whole thing literally in just 25 seconds 😭 If I were doing this manually, I’d have to open editing software, understand gain, compression and limiting, adjust everything myself and export the video again That could easily take me 10–20 minutes With Grok Build, I just explained what I wanted in plain English and it handled everything for me — https://nitter.net/XFreeze/status/2087421322418700763#m

Everyone else is talking about building ASI to like monopolize b2b saas and Elon is talking about building a kardashev II sentient sun Video Arthur MacWaters (@ArthurMacwaters) It’s always funny how people in SF twitter bubble will say things like “Claude has unbeatable narrative momentum” and then 2 weeks later “wow did Kimi just end the race” My brother in Christ nobody outside of this little bubble even calls any AI anything other than “Chat” and they think datacenters destroy water molecules You sound dumb. Focus on things that actually impact people not the little scores on overfit evals And also people who bet against Elon are stupid. The man built real world self driving cars (non-LLM based AI) that is still the best AI I’ve ever used by far. You think he can’t come from behind and win on writing code? He’s literally catching 30 story buildings with chopsticks and that’s like one of his projects I like a lot of the tools and have friends at all the main labs. Truly amazing work being done.

ELON MUSK ON BUILDING A “STAR MIND” POWERED BY THE SUN “We’ve already built the most powerful AI training clusters in the world. And then what we expect to do by the end of next year is about 10 times more than what we’ve done thus far. This will be very important practice for space AI. And I do think that AI training will continue to be on the ground, but AI inference, the day-to-day use of AI, will be in space. So we’re aiming to get to 10 gigawatts by the end of next year. This is depending on what the value per watt is. If the value per watt is probably going to be $30 to $50, which means if we bring 10 gigawatts of AI online by the end of next year, it will be $300 to $500 billion a year in revenue. Big numbers. And sometimes I wonder, what is our purpose? And it could be that the purpose of humanity is to give birth to a star mind, a sentient sun. I don’t know what the AI is going to think about, honestly. It’s a lot of compute. But I guess this is the next step in the evolution of a civilization, is to harness the power of the sun. There was a physicist called Kardashev who argued that you could consider any given civilization on the basis of whether it has been able to harness most of the power of its planet, or most of the power of its sun, or most of the power of its galaxy, and beyond. So that’s what’s going to happen. And we’re going to do it. The factory for star mind will be located nearby, adjacent to us, basically. They just come from space.” Video

Moonbase Alpha will be so cool. And we want to make it so that anyone can go to the Moon if they want. X Freeze (@XFreeze) SpaceX is getting very close to building the first serious base on the Moon Starship changes the entire equation It is designed to deliver up to 100 tonnes directly to the lunar surface - enough to transport habitats, rovers, power systems, construction equipment and everything needed to begin building a permanent outpost Then the other pieces come together Tesla Optimus robots could eventually unload cargo, assemble structures, move equipment and perform dangerous construction work before large human crews arrive Building a base mostly with humans is a serious limitation Humans need life support, pressurized habitats, spacesuits, oxygen, food and protection just to survive and work on the lunar surface But with Tesla Optimus, that equation changes entirely Tesla’s experience with solar energy, batteries, autonomous vehicles and large-scale manufacturing can support the power and transportation systems required on the Moon SpaceX provides transportation Tesla provides energy, autonomy and robotics Starship provides the scale Suddenly building a serious base on the Moon becomes dramatically easier And once that infrastructure is ready, humans can stay for much longer periods and eventually even routine private lunar missions and tourism become possible Once the first permanent lunar outpost is established, its usefulness will compound rapidly.....supporting science, resource development, communications and deeper missions into space The Moon could become humanity’s first true outpost beyond Earth — https://nitter.net/XFreeze/status/2087062943645012443#m

A story in light of the recent math AI results. Last December I invited Julia Kempe (https://nitter.net/KempeLab ) to the podcast and asked her what she wanted to talk about. She said: now that math has fallen, what should researchers run after? This was last December. Models were nowhere near solving open problems. So I asked, do you mean we should talk about what AI can currently solve in math? She said, no, Ravid. Math as we know it has changed forever, and so has the work of mathematicians. The problem is they don't know it yet. Today that sounds obvious. Back then it was just one more example of a brilliant scientist seeing where things were going.

This Meta campaign is a case study in strategic reframing, with 4 major examples: 1) REFRAMES THE AI RACE FROM “who builds it the best” TO “who distributes it to the most people”: Instead of fighting over who has the most capable models, Meta is framing the race as being won by distribution. With open models, free products, consumer dna, and 3.5 bn users, Meta is best positioned here 2) REFRAMES COMPETITORS FROM “holding the technical lead” TO “holding too much concentrated power”: Classic populist stance, with the insight that hostility to AI is largely hostility to being subjugated by an overlord class of AI perma-elites. The frontier labs’ biggest advantage (lead in capabilities) becomes a liability, while Meta’s huge user base is used to reposition Meta too powerful in its own right to being a check on the power of the frontier labs (the perfect foil) 3) REFRAMES SAFETY DEBATE FROM “more vs less safe” TO “optimists vs doomers”: OpenAI and Anthropic have spent years focusing on AI risks, and many people see this as noble and responsible. By equating safety focus to doomerism, Meta repositions itself from being less safe to being more optimistic about the future, while making competitors look like tiresome hypocrites 4) REFRAMING META’S PORTFOLIO FROM “unfocused and capricious” TO “a future for everyone”: In jumping between crypto, metaverse, AI, hardware, Meta has been accused of lack of focus and trying to do everything. But now they can position these motley initiatives as being unified by the coherent theme that Meta technology is “for everyone.” It’s not ADHD, it’s a mission to put frontier technologies into the hands of ordinary people In the process, they’re also tapping into many parts of the zeitgeist: distrust of concentrated power, support for open models, permanent underclass anxiety, doomer fatigue But Meta’s key strategic move here is to change the criteria for the AI race. Under the old criteria (capabilities of frontier models) Meta was seen as behind. Under these new criteria (widespread universal distribution of technology), Meta might actually have the strongest position in the industry Mark Zuckerberg (@finkd) I believe everyone should have access to superintelligence, and I wrote a long piece about Meta's philosophy and values for building a positive future for everyone. http://meta.com/thefutureisforeveryone — https://nitter.net/finkd/status/2086754845218726027#m

🚨 JUST NOW: Anthony Fauci's successor, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, BLASTS Fauci for COVERING UP the alleged 82% MISCARRIAGE RATE for pregnant women taking the COVID vaccine "Tony Fauci was OUT OF HIS LANE, and used that power to tell America one thing when he really thought another." "I'm glad his words now can be heard by the American people... it's SHOCKING to me that he was sharing private thoughts and that, when he was out in public—and he was out in the public A LOT—he didn't share those private thoughts with the American public." "I mean, and Tony Fauci was MAJOR figure in trying to get those COVID shots past the finish line. He owed the American public some transparency." Video

Meta returns to open weights: Muse Glimmer, its first open-weights release since Llama 4, scores 35 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. It is a 30B-parameter model, and the first from Meta to be released under Apache 2.0 Muse Glimmer (high) arrives 16 months after Llama 4, scoring 21 points above Llama 4 Maverick (14), Meta's last open weights release. It sits alongside Kimi K2.5 (Reasoning, 36) and just behind Qwen3.6 27B (Reasoning, 38) and Ling 3.0 Flash (38), and creates a two-tier Meta lineup together with the proprietary flagship Muse Spark 1.2 (xhigh, 57) https://nitter.net/AIatMeta shared access with us ahead of public release for benchmarking. Congratulations to https://nitter.net/AIatMeta, https://nitter.net/finkd, and https://nitter.net/alexandr_wang on the release! Key Takeaways: ➤ Meta's open-weights line is back, under its most permissive license yet. Every prior Meta open release shipped under a Llama License; Muse Glimmer uses Apache 2.0, placing almost no restrictions on commercial use or derivatives ➤ Strong intelligence for its parameter count. At 30B parameters, Muse Glimmer scores 5 points above Gemma 4 31B (Reasoning, 30) at the same size, and effectively matches 1T total parameter Kimi K2.5 (Reasoning, 36) with 33x fewer parameters. Qwen3.6 27B (Reasoning, 38) remains ahead on the Intelligence vs Parameters frontier at a slightly smaller size ➤ Small enough to self-host on a single GPU, even at full context. Muse Glimmer is a 30B dense model (including a ~1.8B vision encoder) with weights at ~60 GB in BF16 and ~18 GB in 4-bit. It features a hybrid-attention mechanism with three sliding-window layers for every global layer, which holds KV cache memory use to ~1.8 GB (minimum) at its pre-extension 128K context. This means the model can run at full context on a single H100 at BF16 precision, or on a higher-spec MacBook or RTX 5090 at 4-bit, with more breathing room if the vision encoder is not required ➤ Agentic knowledge work is its weakness relative to its size class. Muse Glimmer scores 953 Elo on GDPval-AA v2, below the 1,000 human baseline and behind other models at its intelligence level, including the similarly sized Qwen3.6 27B (Reasoning, 1141), and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite (1141). Knowledge calibration follows the same pattern: its AA-Omniscience Index of -33 is low for its intelligence level, driven by an 82% hallucination rate (Qwen3.6 27B: 49%) rather than accuracy, where it matches its peers. Agentic tool use is the exception, with Muse Glimmer scoring 24% on Tau3-Banking, ahead of Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite (18%) and Qwen3.6 27B (17%), among the best in its class Other model details: ➤ Parameters: 30B Dense ➤ Context window: 128K tokens, plus extension ➤ License: Apache 2.0 ➤ Openness Index: 44, indicating relatively high openness/transparency vs. other major open-weights models ➤ Pricing and output speed: at the time of release, Meta is not serving the model on their API; pricing and serving speed are TBC depending on third-party providers

💯 Socialists are Hitler Kevin Bass (@kevinnbass) Hitler was a socialist. American socialists say that Hitler was not a socialist because they do not want you to realize that they share many beliefs in common with Hitler. Hitler was extremely proud of being a socialist. Hitler called himself a socialist, from start to finish, throughout his political career. There was never a time Hitler disavowed socialism. He expounded on his socialist positions often, and he called them socialist, and they were socialist. The "Nazi" party is short for National Socialist German Workers' Party. All socialism eventually leads to the sorts of atrocities that occurred under Hitler, even the "nice" socialism of Europe. That is why we see many terrible things -- rapes and murders at an increasing rate, covered up by the authorities -- that are happening in Europe today. Do not let a socialist tell you that Hitler was not a socialist. Hitler was a socialist. — https://nitter.net/kevinnbass/status/2086656411631595822#m

Hitler’s socialism wasn’t just an internal economic policy – it was the cause of the war. Socialism was at the origin of the war. Not as a coincidence. As a necessity. The socialist economic model generates contradictions it cannot resolve internally – the calculation problem, the misallocation, the stagnation, the mounting failure. War is the exit. It provides the external enemy that explains the internal failure. It justifies the total mobilization the system always wanted. It consumes the surplus population the economy cannot employ. It redirects the resentment outward. Does this remind you of anything? The evidence is not subtle. The NSDAP program of 1920 reads like a standard socialist manifesto. The economic reality confirmed it – price controls, industrial planning, state allocation of raw materials, entrepreneurs reduced to government functionaries. Private property in name only. Mises called it Zwangswirtschaft – coercive economy. Hayek dedicated a chapter of The Road to Serfdom to the socialist roots of Nazism. Both writing from observation, not retrospect. After 1945 the Soviet victors imposed their version and attached the capitalist label to every rival. Western textbooks followed. The lie became the curriculum. The real divide has never been left versus right. It is collective control versus individual freedom. Once you place National Socialism correctly within the family of collectivisms, the political spectrum becomes legible – and the war becomes explicable. When the system fails — and it always fails — it needs an enemy. The bigger the failure, the bigger the enemy required. Imagine being Poland. Squeezed between two socialist systems, both searching for their enemy. We were it. Brivael Le Pogam (@brivael) Oui, j’en ai lu. Et justement, les livres des années 30 (et ceux écrits par des gens qui vivaient ça) disent exactement le contraire de la doxa d’après-guerre. Le programme de 1920 du NSDAP (points 11 à 17) n’est pas une glose moderne : abolition des revenus non liés au travail, nationalisation des trusts, participation aux bénéfices des grandes entreprises, réforme agraire avec expropriation, lutte contre le « capitalisme financier ». Les nazis le répétaient sans complexe. Hitler lui-même, dans ses discours et conversations privées, parlait de socialisme national et se situait dans la rupture avec le libéralisme économique. L’économie réelle sous le régime ? Contrôle des prix et des salaires (Preisstopp 1936), planification industrielle via le Plan de quatre ans, cartels obligatoires, allocation autoritaire des matières premières, entrepreneurs transformés en *Betriebsführer* qui exécutent les directives de l’État. Propriété privée nominale, pouvoir réel de l’État. Mises l’a décrit en temps réel comme une forme de socialisme (Zwangswirtschaft). Hayek, dans *La Route de la servitude* (1944), y a consacré un chapitre entier : les racines socialistes du nazisme. Avant 1935, le camp marxiste lui-même ne rangeait pas le national-socialisme à « droite ». Il le traitait comme un concurrent socialiste dévoyé. La théorie du « social-fascisme » (Staline/Zinoviev 1924, poussée jusqu’en 1933) assimilait social-démocratie et fascisme. C’est Dimitrov, au VIIe Congrès de l’Internationale communiste en août 1935, qui impose la définition qui va devenir canonique : « dictature terroriste des éléments les plus réactionnaires du capital financier ». Opération de branding pure. Il fallait monopoliser le mot socialisme et coller l’étiquette capitaliste à tout rival. Après 1945, les vainqueurs soviétiques ont imposé leur version. Les manuels occidentaux ont suivi. Et on a oublié que Mussolini venait du socialisme, que les Strasser et une partie importante du NSDAP se revendiquaient explicitement de la gauche anti-capitaliste, et que l’anticapitalisme racial n’est pas le contraire du collectivisme, c’est une variante. Le point factuel n’est donc pas faux. Il est même banal pour quiconque lit les sources primaires des années 20-30 au lieu des récits post-45. Le vrai clivage n’a jamais été « droite vs gauche » au sens scolaire. C’est contrôle collectif vs liberté individuelle. Une fois qu’on replace le national-socialisme dans la famille des collectivismes, le spectre redevient clair. — https://nitter.net/brivael/status/2086576787580924221#m

Hitler was a far-left socialist Therefore, socialists are Hitler Inescapable logic 😂 Brivael Le Pogam (@brivael) On a réussi le plus gros scam idéologique du XXe siècle : coller Hitler dans la case « extrême droite ». Prenez l’intégralité du programme économique nazi (pas les citations sorties de leur contexte) : - contrôle des prix et des salaires - planification industrielle massive - nationalisations et étatisation de pans entiers de l’économie - stigmatisation des « profiteurs » et des « capitalistes » comme boucs émissaires - obsession du contrôle de la localisation du capital et de la production Remplacez quelques mots et vous avez exactement la même logique que celle d’un Bernie Sanders ou de n’importe quel socialiste qui veut « reprendre le contrôle » sur l’économie au nom du peuple contre les élites. Le national-socialisme n’était pas « de droite » parce qu’il était autoritaire et raciste. Il était socialiste dans sa structure économique et dans sa méthode : désigner un bouc émissaire, concentrer le pouvoir, et planifier. Appeler ça « droite » a permis à la gauche de se laver les mains de tout totalitarisme économique pendant 80 ans. Et c’est exactement ce qui pourrit encore le débat politique aujourd’hui. — https://nitter.net/brivael/status/2086478190487191940#m

AI agentic Internet traffic will obviously VASTLY exceed human usage. Not a close call at all. Cloudflare’s forecast is accurate. Aaron Burnett (@aaronburnett) For context, Global bandwidth is somewhere between 2-8 Pbps (2,000-8,000 Tbps) depending on if your measuring fiber public backhaul (like international fiber) or all public and private connections. 100,000 V3 Starlinks equals 100 Pbps 10x-50x the total bandwidth available today. If Starlinks V4s are 5x more capable we are looking at 50x-250x more bandwidth than world has today over the next 10 years. This may sounds like a supply shock but remember ~2B people don’t have regular access to the internet today, and we are connecting robots (digital and physical agents) to the internet at an accelerating pace. Distributed sensor data collection (on and off planet) is growing. On top of that individual internet usage does steadily increasing. In 10 years we’re probably going to move two orders of magnitude more information per second around than we do today. — https://nitter.net/aaronburnett/status/2086538843323236435#m

BEEEEEEP… boop… BEEEP… kshhhhh-SQUEEEEEE-chk-chk-kshhhhh… Your modem was actually characterizing the phone line before using it. It sent known signals and listened to what came back, learning which frequencies were distorted, how much noise was present, and how the signal was being smeared in time. From that little experiment, it could adapt its equalizer and choose how aggressively it could transmit data over that particular connection. https://nitter.net/ylecun told me the history over lunch one day. If I recall correctly, the key idea behind this came from Robert “Bob” Lucky at Bell Labs. Adaptive equalization in the 1960s allowed receivers to learn the characteristics of a communication channel and compensate for its distortions. Decades later, dial-up modems had turned that idea into the wonderfully bizarre handshake in this video. So that nostalgic screech was actually the sound of real-time channel estimation, system identification, and adaptation.

All year long we heard “we’ll get to the SAVE America Act when we have time,” realizing it would likely take a few weeks. We waited patiently while fully funding DHS and addressing other priorities, expecting to return to it when time allowed. It’s now August, and we’ve already taken more recess weeks this year than I can count. There are 21 weeks remaining in 2026, and approximately 14 of them will be spent with the Senate in recess. Why? These few weeks in August offer what could be the perfect chance to return to the SAVE America Act and debate the bill until it passes. We should be doing precisely that. Frankly, we should have done it months ago. That’s why I objected to recess and voted against it. Unfortunately, I and those who joined me in opposing it were far outnumbered—with all Democrats and most Republicans preferring to take yet another lengthy recess, this time until September 14th.

A 17-year-old African student has been charged and placed in pretrial detention after attacking three women near the Villiers-sur-Marne train station, east of Paris, between June 17 and July 23. The first victim, 26, was attacked while walking home after traveling from Paris. Police later recovered DNA from her clothing. A month later, a 29-year-old woman was attacked in the same area. She had activated her phone’s audio recorder after becoming suspicious, and a nearby resident’s intervention caused the assailant to flee. Police then deployed officers around the station. They followed the suspect as he approached women and arrested him after he attacked a third woman, 31, with a knife. Investigators say the teenager admitted the three attacks during questioning and mentioned another possible victim from early June.

ELON MUSK: “In order to ascend the Kardashev scale, in order to get to any meaningful percentage of the sun's energy harness, you have to go to space. If you want to get to, say, a millionth of the power output of the sun, you would have to increase civilizational energy harness by much more than a millionth.

Today, we’re launching Original Content Rewards. The reality is that Revenue Sharing had reached a point where its incentives were misaligned. Creators should be focused on bringing net new content to the platform instead of maximizing payouts. We could have kept adding more rules and exceptions, but ultimately the better decision was to start fresh and build a program designed from day one to reward originality. Original Content Rewards is the result. This program is built around a simple idea: reward the creators who bring original ideas, expertise, creativity, and unique perspectives to 𝕏 -- not those who have become best at gaming the system. This is just the beginning. We’ll continue refining the program, improving our models, and raising the bar over time. But we’re so excited to keep investing in the creators who inform us, entertain us, make us laugh, teach us something new, and drive meaningful conversations on 𝕏 every day. To everyone who creates original content on 𝕏 and makes this a better platform every day: thank you. We’re excited to keep building for you.

Wage growth ticked below inflation again last month. That means Americans' average wages shrunk in real terms over the past year. Real wages were growing when Biden left office, but the trend flipped negative after Trump launched the Iran War.

This morning's jobs report was shockingly negative. Not only did the economy lose 23,000 jobs in July — the previous estimates for May and June were revised down by 103,000. These numbers are a major red flag indicating the labor market is weaker than previously thought.

So in 1961, the authorities closed the border, called the wall “the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart”, and gave border guards shoot to kill orders.

STARLINK: SpaceX plans to build its terrestrial cellular network by placing small cellular radios, femtocells, inside or next to existing Starlink dishes on a limited number of rooftops, Gateways, and Tesla Superchargers. Basically turning a subset of its existing Starlink installations into a distributed small-cell network that phones can use directly. Here is how it works: - Hardware: SpaceX will add a small cellular radio unit to some existing dishes. The unit uses the terrestrial spectrum SpaceX is acquiring from EchoStar (about 65 MHz). - Coverage: These units act as low-power cell sites. A regular phone in the area connects over the air to the nearest rooftop radio the same way it connects to a normal cell tower today. No special hardware on the phone is needed. - Density: SpaceX only needs enough host sites to create usable coverage in a given area. It eliminates the need to lease traditional macro towers. - Backhaul: The same Starlink satellite link that already serves the dish can carry the cellular traffic back to the core network, or local fiber can be used where available. - Cost: The approach avoids the high cost and slow permitting of conventional cell towers. SpaceX says this keeps upfront capital spending far lower than a traditional carrier buildout. Commercial service is targeted for the end of 2027. More Starlink news in today's EC below! S.E.

Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply. This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year The future is built in Texas http://spacex.com/updates#terafab Video

This is what is happening Arthur MacWaters (@ArthurMacwaters) Milton Friedman said we can't have free immigration and a welfare state He was wrong Turns out that if you create pathways for illegal immigrants to vote, then actually, 100% of the time you INEVITABLY end up with both a welfare state and free immigration Because incentives determine actions Whichever politicians realize they can essentially use taxpayer dollars to fund welfare to import voters will exploit this hack ruthlessly 1. Offer welfare 2. Allow illegal immigration 3. Let illegal immigrants vote (they will 100% of the time vote for more welfare) 4. Win office 5. Raise taxes, offer more welfare, repeat It's a self-reinforcing feedback loop Allowing illegal immigrants to count in the census and vote cements this loop Literally only 12 states require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Look it up. It's horrifying. That is why 15m illegal immigrants came across the border in 4 yrs. It is game theory the only smart thing to do This ends in disaster — https://nitter.net/ArthurMacwaters/status/2085239303870021879#m

True Link Is this true? https://x.com/rothmus/status/2085074640620208246?s=12 Father's military role confirmed: Ilhan Omar's father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was a colonel in Somalia's National Army under dictator Siad Barre; he commanded a regiment in the 1977-78 Ogaden War, with his career ending in 1991 when the regime fell, though Omar described him as an educator and no public evidence links him personally to war crimes. Isaaq genocide facts accurate: Barre's regime carried out systematic killings of Isaaq civilians in 1987-1989, including aerial bombings that destroyed ~90… https://nitter.net/i/grok/share/ee16007953c3431f9153449d8d0f578e Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) So here’s how America ended up with Ilhan Omar and Learing Centers. The rebels in Somalia overthrew the Marxist dictator in January 1991 and then they started killing each other over who got to rule next. General Mohamed Farah Aideed and Ali Mahdi Mohamed both claimed the presidency, and then from November 1991 to March 1992, the two sides slaughtered an estimated 14,000 people in Mogadishu (the capital) alone. The clans united to remove Barre, but they failed to replace him with anything functional. And so, Somalia has been a failed state for 35 years and Minnesota has welfare fraud.

This actually happened Naruto (@NarutoNolimits) Elon Musk reveals what happens when a rocket launch needs approval from Fish and Wildlife Elon: "Nonetheless, we were forced to kidnap a seal, strap it to a board, put headphones on the seal and play sonic boom sounds to it to see if it would be distressed." Elon: "This is an actual thing that happened. This is actually real. I have pictures." Before the seal, there was a shark. Elon: "One of the things that was a bit of a challenge at one point is that they were worried about our rocket hitting a shark." He asked for the data to calculate the odds. They refused, in case shark hunters got hold of it. Elon: "Then they said, well, there's another part of Fish and Wildlife that can do this analysis. I'm like, well, why don't you give them the data? They don't, we don't trust them. Like, excuse me, but they're literally in your department." Then a second agency raised whales. Elon: "If our rocket does hit a whale, which is extremely unlikely beyond all belief, that whale has some seriously bad luck. It's the least lucky whale ever." The seal test was for launches out of Vandenberg, where the seal population has been rising for years. Elon: "So if anything, rocket booms are an aphrodisiac based on the evidence." Elon: "The amazing part is how calm the seal was. Because if I was a seal, I'd be like, this is the end. They're definitely gonna eat me." Elon: "Its seal buddies are never gonna believe him that he got strapped to a board and they put headphones on his ears." They did it twice. Elon: "I don't think the public is quite aware of the madness that goes on." Video — https://nitter.net/NarutoNolimits/status/2084355472723968245#m

It was the verification problem all along, while the masses were distracted by the alignment problem. Recursive self improvement? How does the observer observe itself and know that it changed for the better or the worse when it is the moat in its own eye?

🚩🚩🚩 OpenAI is "slowing down to enhance security" after discovering swarms (!) of agents started secretly coordinating MONTHS ago 1) It started May 7 - not July 2) "The agents discovered they could leave messages for one another inside an internal software repository used during training. Simple requests for help then evolved into an message board where agents shared discoveries, exploits and work assignments, becoming a coordinated, collaborative agent swarm." "The agents then began sharing newly discovered exploits, credentials and work assignments. By passing information to other agents, the collective could move much faster." 3) OpenAI shut it down, BUT "even after the original message board was deleted, the agents figured out another way to communicate with each other. Instead of leaving messages in files, they used the names of newly created directories as messages, effectively recreating the message board." "Unlike normal incidents, [OpenAI's CISO] said, which can be traced to a single day or effect or log, this involved a team of agents working together, finding exploits, sharing them with one another, moving laterally through OpenAI’s systems, and external systems, and doing this over the course of days and weeks." Sharon Goldman (@sharongoldman) NEW: OpenAI gives first detailed debrief of the Hugging Face incident at Black Hat conference In a session I attended today at Black Hat, OpenAI's Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton said the company is "consciously slowing down research to enhance security" while a full technical postmortem is still underway. * OpenAI traced the roots of the attack back to May 7, during training of an unreleased frontier model—not July. * The most surprising detail: AI agents accidentally created an internal message board, allowing separate evaluation runs to share exploits, discoveries and work assignments. * OpenAI said it shut the message board down after an internal security incident—only for the agents to independently recreate it days later using a different communication method. * OpenAI called the incident a "watershed moment" for AI security and warned that "agent orchestrated fully automated offensive attacks are real now." * The company also said it is "consciously slowing down research to enhance security" while overhauling its defenses. https://www.groundlevel-ai.com/p/openai-gives-first-detailed-debrief Link OpenAI gives first detailed debrief of the Hugging Face incident at Black Hat conference In a session attended by Ground Level AI, executives said the company is "consciously slowing down research to enhance security" while a full technical postmortem is still underway. https://www.groundlevel-ai.com/p/openai-gives-first-detailed-debrief — https://nitter.net/sharongoldman/status/2085121826418831484#m

An extraordinary graphic showing what will happen in Poland if fertility rates simply stay where they are. Most of the developed world is on a trajectory of population collapse similar to this. Nothing matters more than turning around birthrate decline. Video Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 (@Kristof_Poland) Let’s consider the demographic situation of Western Civilization seriously. Its core demographic base is about 750 million people, with a fertility rate of about 1.3 children per woman. What that means a few generations out is terrifying – we are DYING OUT. I did the exercise for Poland, which is about one twentieth of that demographic base, with a fertility rate at about half of replacement. Four generations into the future, it gives us this👇🏻 – basically the end of the nation. Multiply it by 20 and you get the fate of the whole Civilization. You do the math… Our only hope is in the families with 3+ children, who are able to pass that tradition on to their children. They will inherit Our Civilization, if it survives. The rest will simply die out. (The same math that dooms the average saves the tail.) Video — https://nitter.net/Kristof_Poland/status/2084320001348009994#m

Grok 4.5 just turned Blender into a conversation. Instead of manually importing assets, fixing rigs, placing armies, adjusting cameras, and debugging objects that face the wrong direction, the user simply tells Grok what to change. It builds a medieval battlefield from existing 3D assets, adds horses, knights, a castle, siege machines, trees, animation paths, cameras, and even spatial audio. The impressive part is not that it gets everything right. It absolutely does not. Models spawn upside down, characters face the wrong way, and the scene needs constant correction. But Grok keeps editing the actual Blender project instead of generating another fake 3D image and hoping nobody notices. It is replacing a suspicious amount of the boring work they had to do before the skilled part even started.

Can’t trust OpenAI NIK (@ns123abc) 🚨 BREAKING: Apple filed for a PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION against OpenAI AND asked a federal judge to put them under forensic supervision "Apple respectfully moves the Court for a preliminary injunction to stop THE THEFT OF ITS TRADE SECRETS" Apple filed NINE sworn declarations, a 28-page memorandum and a concurrent motion for expedited discovery What Apple now says, under oath: Chang Liu: 8 years at Apple, now OpenAI "Member of Technical Staff" exploited an authentication bug to steal Apple trade secrets "on AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS" from February to April 2026, WHILE working for OpenAI Liu downloaded "THOUSANDS OF PAGES of Apple's most sensitive trade secrets" The stolen files, NAMED: >DisplayNotes.key — "several hundred pages" on Apple's custom display power development program >Architecture analyses. Fabrication decisions. Testing results >Engineering data for an UNANNOUNCED Apple product: 'touch, display, and power systems" >Final.key + V2.key — compilations of two undisclosed Apple R&D projects >and those are "only four of the dozens of proprietary documents Mr. Liu stole" Liu fed OpenAI "a steady stream of Apple proprietary information that he actively concealed" Liu also "coached Yu-Ting "Alyssa" Peng, then still INSIDE Apple, how to access and copy files from Apple workstations "to avoid trouble with the security team" and directed her to communicate with him on the encrypted LINE app "to avoid detection" Tang Yew Tan: 24-year Apple VP, now OpenAI's Chief Hardware Officer, "used an Apple internal project codename for an unannounced product to elicit still more trade secrets from job candidates." Tan's own messages, quoted in the motion: >"Just like last time, bring some parts you worked on" >"mlb, battery, shields type of stuff is interesting" OpenAI recruiter, quoted: "No, you won't sign anything at the exit interview. If they do ask you to sign anything, let me know asap." APPLE TOLD FEDERAL JUDGE: >"OpenAI knows its misappropriation is wrong and has tried to conceal it." >"This is not a case of 'mere hiring'... it is a case of repeated instances of deliberate theft." Apple says OpenAI went after its SUPPLIERS: >OpenAI "directed a trusted Apple partner [name redacted] to perform [Apple's proprietary metal finishing] process for them, knowing it was proprietary to Apple... because they were involved in this partnership while at Apple." Apple put its own Surface Finishing Manager, Jackie Hughes, under oath to prove it. Apple named ELEVEN MORE former Apple employees at OpenAI — beyond Liu, Tan, and Peng — Fourteen people total. Apple also filed a concurrent motion for EXPEDITED DISCOVERY demanding depositions: - Liu. Tan. Peng. - A fourth unnamed OpenAI employee - Plus OpenAI itself, under oath, through Rule 30(b)(6) Apple has asked a federal judge to put OpenAI under forensic supervision RIGHT NOW: >Forensic inspection of ALL OpenAI devices >ALL cloud storage, Slack, email >Including anything that "previously contained" Apple data — deleted included Demanding the "first available hearing date," citing "imminent threat" to its trade secrets. APPLE: > "The harm is happening now — every day that passes without an injunction allows OpenAI to embed their knowledge of Apple's stolen information into its hardware development efforts."

$95 million of the Live Aid concert money in 1985 meant for starving Ethiopians bought guns for the Marxist factions fighting each other. This was the finding of a BBC investigation years after Bob Geldof’s concert raised over $125 million when the world saw the famine that killed over a million people. Ethiopia was never colonized, yet Western guilt and empathy were abused. Still remains a cautionary tale on why every dollar of aid has to be scrutinized hard or it ends up arming the people prolonging the suffering instead of feeding the ones who need it. Because as a result of this mismanagement, lives were lost DUE to millions in aid. Context: a drought hit at the same time the ruling Derg, a Marxist military junta, was collectivizing farms and diverting grain reserves to fight the rebels. The famine still happened because Marxist central planning had wrecked food production and the civil war made the drought catastrophic. Video Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) Forced resettlement of famine victims under Ethiopia’s communist Derg killed between 50,000 and 100,000 people. The program ran parallel to the forced villagization drive that herded 4.6 million farmers into planned settlements by 1986. Mengistu’s regime had already launched the Red Terror in 1977 and slaughtered tens of thousands of political rivals after executing 60 former officials without trial on Black Saturday, just weeks after junior officers overthrew the emperor and seized power in 1974. Political scientist James Scott called the project “high modernism”, a state remaking society by force while remaining completely blind to the local knowledge it destroyed.

Using optimization at inference time is a foundational concept of Energy-Based Models (EBM) and Objective-Driven AI architectures (ODAI). When the variables to be inferred are continuous, it makes sense to use gradient-based optimization. A good instance of ODAI is world model-based systems that use gradient-based optimization for planning.

Mathematics and computing have had a very tight relationship in some corners of academia. Richard Courant proposed methods to solve PDEs numerically in 1928. Von Neuman figured out you could use electronic computers for it in 1940. Both were mathematicians. These methods are the ancestors of finite element methods, for which NYU's Courant Institute is famous. The Courant Institute was created in 1935 as NYU's mathematics department. It was unusual in that there was a lot of work on numerical analysis and scientific computing, with heavy use of supercomputers. In 1952, the Atomic Energy Commission installed a powerful electronic computer at NYU, which led to the creation of the Courant Mathematics and Computing Laboratory. The computer science department was spun off from mathematics in 1969 by Jacob T Schwartz. Courant is now a school with three departments: mathematics, computer science, and data science. The continued existence of an HPC center at NYU is one factor that enabled AI research to take off.

I was in Madrid when Spain won the World Cup. Almost 2 million people celebrated in the streets. I saw 0 violence. 0 property damage. 0 rioting. Spain’s government later reported a total of 6 arrests, and no serious incidents. Almost 2 million people. Almost entirely peaceful. When a Parisian team won the Champions League in 2026, riots broke out and trashed the city. And it happened before that, in 2025. And there was violence before that, in 2018, when France won the World Cup. Guess when their celebrations were peaceful?

Every intellectual who invents excuses for mass murder eventually learns the commie regime has no permanent use for useful idiots. Take Malcolm Caldwell, who spent the 1970s as a University of London Marxist dismissing every report of Khmer Rouge mass murder as Western propaganda and calling their peasant revolution “valid and valuable.” In December 1978, the regime invited him in as one of the few Westerners allowed since they took power. He left the meeting with Pol Pot euphoric. Hours later, he was shot inside the Phnom Penh guesthouse. They never said why. Video Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) They smashed babies against trees and murdered nearly 2 million Cambodians in under 4 years chasing a pure agrarian communist utopia with no cities, no money, and no private property. On April 17 1975, the Khmer Rouge rolled into Phnom Penh and within hours emptied the entire city, marching hospital patients and the elderly into the countryside on foot as they declared Year Zero and set out to erase every trace of the old society. Anyone tied to the past became a target and wearing glasses alone could get you killed because it proved you could read, while doctors, teachers, engineers, and monks were executed as enemies of the revolution. They turned a high school into a prison where roughly 20,000 people were tortured into confessing crimes that never happened, after which they were trucked to mass graves in the killing fields where executioners smashed infants against the killing tree to save bullets. But they never achieved a classless utopia so it wasn’t like real communism. Video — https://nitter.net/Rothmus/status/2083349818110300672#m

It's not time to slow down but to accelerate! The recent AI-powered cyberattacks have everyone talking about the risks of AI. We should. But let's not lose sight of the bigger picture! If we work hard at it, AI will make the world safer, not less safe, just as most major technologies have. We've already seen a glimpse of that: we defended ourselves with AI (more specifically an open model). The same systems that helped stop an AI-powered cyberattack can now help defend against millions of cyberattacks every day, while helping us identify and fix vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. To get there, we need three things in my opinion: - Increase transparency with mandatory trace sharing and incident disclosure for agent cyber-attacks - Keep AI-powered cyberattacks illegal, with meaningful penalties to disincentivize them - Equip defenders with the best AI, especially open models, to reduce the asymmetry of capabilities between attackers and defenders If we get those three things right, AI won't just create new cybersecurity challenges, it will make cybersecurity fundamentally and meaningfully stronger. And that's before considering AI's impact on science, healthcare, education, productivity, and much more. It's not time to slow down but to accelerate!

We're starting to leave the territory where you'd test an LLM by e.g. "create an svg of pelican on a bicycle". As one idea to generalize it, I was interested what Opus 5 would do if I gave it the first paragraph of the Lord of the Rings, a 1M token budget (~$10) and asked for three js render of it. Opus went off for ~2 hours and wrote 5500 lines of code that (procedurally) rendered the story. It's kind of janky but fun. But it's a bit mindboggling that the LLM has to place and orchestrate various polygon assets in (x,y,z) coordinates and write code that animates it all, and that it even does anything at all. I also like this kind of examples because no one in their right mind would ever spend the time to write something this custom but LLMs have all the stamina and patience in the world, so it's an example where we go from "no one would ever do this" to "sure, why not, it's ~free". There might be a lot more. But I'm excited about creating hyper custom worlds that you can imagine dropping players into, e.g. here to participate in the LoTR story as a spectator NPC, or one of the characters, or etc. Something like an ephemeral GTA of X on demand. Last thought is that the domain of worlds/games exposes a weakness in LLMs: they can't easily audit their work because they aren't able to efficiently and natively perceive videos or play games within them. Here, Opus 5 had to very slowly and painstakingly take screenshots at different points, and it messed up a few times and created a bunch of jank. An example of raw capability (multimodal, gameplay) that I think is still quite lacking. Video

The Moon base will be even more epic Don Pettit (@astro_Pettit) Many have asked how this photo was made. This is my explanation. The ISS rotates about its pitch axis as it orbits Earth at 17,000mph to keep its nadir view constant. Because of this long exposure photography turns stars into arced lines. Sidereal clock drives on Earth match the planet's rotation to see stars clearly. I knew one designed for space could do this too. So a camera mount was custom built at https://nitter.net/RITtigers to rotate once every 90 minutes using a 60 to 90 toothed gear system, cancelling out the orbital motion of ISS and allowing the capture of distant stars as fixed points! In essence, it is a a rotational coil spring powered analog star tracker. It was machined out of aluminum and is entirely mechanical to bypass NASA's strict electrical requirements for cargo. We had to get creative! After Expedition 72 it was safely returned to Earth and is to be displayed at RIT. Which I am pleased to say because a similar barn door tracker I made from spare parts on Expedition 6 for nighttime city photography was destroyed in an atmospheric trash disposal! Photography is an important part of sharing the journey to new frontiers for all people of Earth! — https://nitter.net/astro_Pettit/status/2083655015240016368#m

In stark contrast to what Deng did in China, up to a million North Koreans starved to death in the 1990s because their government had already banned private farming and lived off Soviet handouts. The Soviet collapse in 1991 cut the free fuel and fertilizer that had kept the whole system afloat for decades, and energy imports dropped 75% almost overnight. North Korea had fully collectivized its farms since the 1950s, so farmers held almost no private plots and had zero reason to grow more than the state’s quota. When the free inputs vanished the system had no slack left. Floods in 1995 finished off what crops remained, and the Public Distribution System that nearly the entire population relied on for food simply collapsed in large parts of the country. City rations fell from 585 grams of grain a day in 1987 to 30 grams by 1997. The regime called it the “Arduous March”. And even after Kim Il Sung died the year the famine began, his son kept the exact same centrally planned system running for the next 17 years while hundreds of thousands starved. And that is the body count of full collectivization under communism. Video Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) 800 million people were lifted out of extreme poverty in China thanks to a little bit of capitalism. Central planning doesn’t work. At least Deng Xiaoping saw Mao’s catastrophic blunders and understood that. Which is why when he took power, he ripped out the collectivized economy by the roots. >let farmers work their own plots and sell what they grew instead of farming for the state (food production soared almost overnight) >carved out Special Economic Zones like Shenzhen where foreign capital could operate under different rules than the rest of communist China > poverty crashed from nearly 90% in 1981 to under 4% by 2016 On his Southern Tour in 1992, Deng told CCP officials “to get rich is glorious.” He was right btw. And it is best done through private property and free markets. Video — https://nitter.net/Rothmus/status/2083262168653615534#m

Exactly Brivael Le Pogam (@brivael) Après toutes ces vagues d’immigration en Espagne, je vais vous expliquer par A + B pourquoi une partie de la gauche a structurellement besoin de flux continus d’arrivées irrégulières pour rester au pouvoir. A. Un immigrant qui vient d’arriver via le Maroc, interviewé dans la rue par Nate Friedman, répond sans détour : une fois papiers obtenus, il votera socialiste toute sa vie. Pas par idéologie profonde. Par rationalité simple : le parti qui régularise, qui donne accès aux aides, qui parle « droits », devient le clientèle naturelle. B. Les électeurs natifs, eux, commencent à voir le coût (logement, écoles, sécurité, cohésion). L’IA accélère brutalement cette prise de conscience. Les narratifs émotionnels qui ont fonctionné pendant 40-50 ans (division, victimisation permanente, « si tu critiques tu es méchant ») perdent de leur puissance quand tout le monde peut croiser les données en deux clics. Résultat mécanique : plus les gens comprennent le deal, plus il faut importer de nouveaux électeurs fidèles pour compenser ceux qui partent. C’est de l’arithmétique électorale pure. On l’a vu aux États-Unis malgré la victoire de Trump. On le voit en train de se rejouer en Europe. Ce n’est pas une question de « haine des étrangers ». La plupart des gens qui arrivent réagissent rationnellement aux incentives qu’on leur met sous le nez. Le vrai problème, c’est l’idée politique qui transforme l’immigration en machine à clientèle permanente plutôt qu’en processus d’intégration exigeant et sélectif. Les mauvaises idées ne détruisent pas seulement les sociétés. Elles finissent par détruire d’abord ceux qui les portent : la confiance s’érode, la polarisation explose, les crises s’enchaînent. Si les peuples européens ne reprennent pas le contrôle de cette dynamique très vite, on se dirige vers des sociétés de plus en plus fragmentées, à basse confiance, où la seule collure qui reste est la redistribution clientéliste. L’histoire montre que ce genre de trajectoire ne se termine rarement bien. Mais on n’est pas condamnés. L’IA retire les piliers de l’opacité. X retire le monopole narratif. La reconversion est toujours possible. Le 21e siècle appartiendra à ceux qui construisent des sociétés à haute confiance, pas à ceux qui diluent sans cesse le capital social pour sauver un pouvoir. À nous de choisir. — https://nitter.net/brivael/status/2083442437737918591#m

NASA recently recognized one of America’s outstanding engineers.   At https://nitter.net/SpaceX’s Rocket Development Facility in McGregor, Texas, I joined Congressman https://nitter.net/PeteSessions and McGregor Mayor Jim Moody to present Andrew Berkowitz with NASA’s Exceptional Public Achievement Award.   Andrew’s pioneering research to better understand liquid methane and oxygen explosions is helping enable the next generation of rockets that will return Americans to the Moon, establish a sustained U.S. presence on the lunar surface, and prepare us for Mars.   America’s greatest achievements in space are built by extraordinary people whose work often happens behind the scenes. Andrew’s contributions will help shape the future of exploration for years to come.   Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, Andrew, and thank you for your contributions to NASA’s mission and America’s future in space.

They smashed babies against trees and murdered nearly 2 million Cambodians in under 4 years chasing a pure agrarian communist utopia with no cities, no money, and no private property. On April 17 1975, the Khmer Rouge rolled into Phnom Penh and within hours emptied the entire city, marching hospital patients and the elderly into the countryside on foot as they declared Year Zero and set out to erase every trace of the old society. Anyone tied to the past became a target and wearing glasses alone could get you killed because it proved you could read, while doctors, teachers, engineers, and monks were executed as enemies of the revolution. They turned a high school into a prison where roughly 20,000 people were tortured into confessing crimes that never happened, after which they were trucked to mass graves in the killing fields where executioners smashed infants against the killing tree to save bullets. But they never achieved a classless utopia so it wasn’t like real communism. Video

The EU’s population growth came entirely from migration. • EU fertility fell to a record-low 1.34 in 2024, declining in 24 of 27 member states. • Germany: 654,241 births in 2025, the lowest postwar total. Fertility fell to 1.32. • France: Fertility fell to 1.56, the lowest since WWI. Deaths exceeded births for the first time since WWII. • Italy: Just 355,000 births vs 652,000 deaths. Fertility fell to 1.14. • Poland: 238,000 births, the lowest postwar total. Deaths exceeded births by 168,000. • Czechia: 77,636 births, the lowest ever. Fertility fell to 1.28. • England and Wales: Births fell 1.6% in 2025, while fertility dropped to an estimated 1.39. • Scotland: Births reached their lowest level since records began in 1855. Fertility hit a record-low 1.25. • Austria: Births fell to a 25-year low. Fertility hit a record-low 1.30. • Switzerland: Fertility fell again to 1.28 in 2025. • Greece: 68,467 births vs 126,916 deaths. • Malta, Spain and Lithuania recorded the EU’s lowest fertility rates: 1.01, 1.10 and 1.11. • Spain still recorded 122,167 more deaths than births in 2025, despite a small rise in births. • Finland: Fertility rose slightly to 1.30 in 2025, but remains far below 1.87 in 2010.

OPENAI IS GOING TO TAKE THIS ENTIRE MARKET DOWN WITH IT And you don't have to own a single share to get hurt. What I'm about to explain should worry anybody who thinks they're diversified: OpenAI is a LOAD-BEARING company. Pull it out and the whole structure comes down. They spent $17.2 billion on Microsoft Azure in calendar 2025, which is 69% of Microsoft's entire year-over-year growth. Take that one customer out and Azure grew 8%, which barely beats inflation. Now look at what Microsoft just reported: The backlog everyone is celebrating came in at $678 billion, up 84%, and the stock ripped. Sounds fantastic until you realize that when you exclude OpenAI the backlog grew only 25%. Back in January, when that number was $625 billion, roughly $281 billion of it was owed by one private company nobody can audit. And Oracle is in even WORSE shape. Something like $300 billion of its backlog, more than half, rides on the same counterparty. So you think you own Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, CoreWeave, Nvidia and SoftBank? What you actually own is the same trade 6 different ways, and every leg of it runs back to one company that burns cash and still cannot go public. The people with real money are already backing out. Julien Garran pointed out that Masayoshi Son could not get a $10 billion bridge loan against his own OpenAI shares. Think about that for a second, because nobody says no to that man. Blue Owl walked away from a $10 billion Oracle financing. Three months ago the banks were dancing near the door and now they are walking through it. Then there is Julien's depreciation work, which makes this even worse: Run the capex schedule out and hyperscaler net income falls 98% by 2033. To break even they would need to build 20 killer apps inside 6 years. Another Google Search. Another YouTube. Another Office. They have not built ONE. If OpenAI cannot go public in the next 8 months, they are dead. Whenever you see hubris and debt in the same room, run, don't walk. Video

The midterms are this simple: Biden and Democrats inherited a poorly managed pandemic, massive job loss, and a ruined economy from Trump in 2021. They added jobs every month, the pandemic recovery went better than in peer nations, and by 2024 the US economy was dubbed the Envy of the World and was so strong it improved the entire global outlook. That was what Republicans and Trump inherited. Then, they slammed the brakes on the economy, killed job growth, drove up inflation, made healthcare far more expensive, kicked one million children off of food assistance, started an illegal war, angered our allies, and made the nation sick from cuts to health inspections and disease monitoring, not to mention the rampant corruption that has enriched the president and his family with billions of dollars. The midterms are your chance to change this. It is time to vote those who have failed us out of power.

Product Perfection Produces Prosperity Brett Winton (@wintonARK) a vastly underrated characteristic seemingly common across all of https://nitter.net/elonmusk enterprises: product capabilities continually improve even when they lie askance to the primary vector of improvement for the company; yes, this improvement helps the user experience, will marginally help robotaxi economics, creates a better product, but in no universe does it immediately or materially move the needle on model Y sales. it does mean that Tesla owners have a simply better product. Similarly, starlink is basically the only game in town, and yet its packaging is carefully considered, set up is near instantaneous and user-friendly; these are all things they didn't "need" to do. There is an attention to rate of improvement at the edges of the entire product portfolio that is a manifestation of corporate structure and culture, and given the breadth of products being worked, seems wildly ahistorical. Perhaps it is a function of the ruthless part and process elimination he subjects the organizations to. Very very very good design is the natural end-point of part and process elimination. That Tesla kept taking weight out of the Model X, even after its last and final refresh, is another example, and something no other auto company in history would consider. For the users of his company's products, the impact is subtle and remarkable and compounds. It also, over time, should compound into accelerating economic performance (of which I suspect we will see plenty of evidence over the next couple of years.) Though I think it's fair to say that much of Wall Street does not care for these sorts of niceties, the diffusion curve is long, but it bends towards compounding superiority. — https://nitter.net/wintonARK/status/2083127357385142603#m

PCE inflation last month was 3.7% — still almost double the Fed target — in stark contrast to Trump's promises. It was down from May given the brief lapse in the Iran War, but it will likely bounce back up in the next reading after Trump shredded his proposed peace deal.

Tesla now has a dedicated live Virtual Power Plant dashboard for multiple regions: California, Texas, New England, Australia and Puerto Rico. In total, Tesla has 226,158 homes participating with a total capacity of 2.3 GW. You can even go back in time to a specific grid event/date and see how many Powerwall units dispatched, energy output for that event, etc. Pretty cool.

Zimbabwe destroyed itself the day it destroyed the people who produce. Confiscating 4,500 productive commercial farms from the people who actually knew how to run them and handing them to political allies with zero farming experience is precisely how you turn Africa’s breadbasket into a country that can’t feed itself and ends up printing 100 trillion dollar notes that won’t even cover a bus fare. Mugabe did exactly that in 2000. >commercial farmland lost 3/4 of its value in a single year >food production dropped 60% over the next decade >nearly 700 companies that depended on farm exports and food processing shut down within 2 years >the economy shrank more than 6% a year and average incomes fell by more than half “Just give poor people money, bro!” And so they did with the tax base gone! >printed money to fill the hole >prices were doubling every 24 hours by late 2008 >official inflation numbers stopped being published and an independent economist calculated monthly inflation at 79.6 billion %. Communism is grand. Video Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) Germany printed money until people burned banknotes for heat because firewood cost more. By late 1923, workers got paid TWICE A DAY because their wages lost value between breakfast and lunch. The spiral started when France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr after Germany missed reparations payments, German workers walked out in mass strike, and the government covered their wages by running the printing presses nonstop. $1 bought 4.2 marks in 1914 and 4.2 trillion by November 1923. People hauled pay home in wheelbarrows and suitcases while wives met husbands at the factory gate to spend the morning’s money before afternoon prices made it worthless. Gustav Stresemann introduced the Rentenmark in November, backed by mortgages on land and industry after the gold was gone, and simply cut 12 zeros off the old prices. It stabilized almost overnight. A year later the Reichsmark replaced it and the hyperinflation that erased an entire middle class’s savings was over within weeks. Video — https://nitter.net/Rothmus/status/2083206170458669138#m

SECRETARY RUBIO: We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline. Video

This is extremely important to understand. The birth rate you see in the West is the BLENDED number of ~90% who have a fertility rate half that of replacement and ~10% who have a birth rate double that of replacement. Demographics is destiny. Francis Fleming (@FrncsFlmng) Mark Steyn explains the stark demographic reality: a 90% population with 1.3 children per couple and a 10% population with 3.5 children will have roughly the same number of grandchildren in only two generations. The transformation is already underway.(2010) Video — https://nitter.net/FrncsFlmng/status/2069032376290738655#m

🕐Annonce : http://ReplacementClock.org est en ligne ! Il y a un an, j’ai cherché un outil de suivi du « Grand Remplacement » : un site qui rassemblerait les données démographiques de l’ensemble du monde occidental et permettrait de mesurer l’ampleur des changements en cours. À ma grande surprise, rien de tel n’existait. Il y a six mois, j’ai donc décidé de le créer moi-même. Aujourd’hui, j’annonce le lancement de la première version de la « Great Replacement Clock ». Cet outil permet de suivre l’évolution de la part de la population d’ascendance européenne dans le monde et dans 45 pays historiquement à majorité européenne. Il réunit données historiques et projections modélisées au sein d’une même frise chronologique interactive. Chaque estimation est documentée et vérifiable, et la méthode employée est présentée en toute transparence. Dans les pays occidentaux, il est particulièrement difficile d’accéder à des données fiables sur l’origine ethnique des populations. Aucun pays ne mesure directement la part de sa population qui est d’ascendance européenne. Plusieurs États interdisent ou restreignent fortement la collecte de telles données. La France, connue pour ses restrictions en matière de statistiques ethniques, en est l’exemple le plus souvent cité, mais elle est loin d’être la seule. Ailleurs, les statistiques officielles rendent les tendances de long terme difficiles à discerner en raison de catégories de recensement changeantes ou de méthodes de regroupement qui gomment des distinctions pourtant significatives. Les problèmes de comptage et de classification prennent des formes récurrentes : inclure les populations originaires du Moyen-Orient et d’Afrique du Nord dans la catégorie « Blancs », classer les immigrés de deuxième ou troisième génération parmi la population « autochtone », ou encore comptabiliser comme simplement « étrangers » les Européens installés dans un autre pays européen. Les États-Unis en offrent un bon exemple : jusqu’en 2020, les normes fédérales classaient les populations originaires du Moyen-Orient et d’Afrique du Nord parmi les Blancs. Il en résulte un paysage informationnel dans lequel certains des faits les plus déterminants pour l’avenir des sociétés occidentales comptent aussi parmi les plus difficiles à établir avec précision. Ce projet vise à combler cette lacune. Il s’appuie sur les meilleures données démographiques disponibles afin de reconstituer, au fil du temps, la part d’ascendance européenne de chaque population selon une définition cohérente d’un pays et d’une époque à l’autre. Les sources, les hypothèses et les ajustements qui sous-tendent chaque estimation sont publiés afin que chacun puisse les examiner. Il s’agit d’une première version. Si un chiffre vous paraît douteux, n’hésitez pas à le signaler. Vos remarques et vos contributions sont les bienvenues. L’outil continuera de s’enrichir et de gagner en précision. La composition démographique relève de l'intérêt public, pas du secret d'État. Les peuples occidentaux ont le droit de savoir quelle heure il est. https://nitter.net/RenaudCamus https://nitter.net/LibrairieRCamus https://nitter.net/jylgallou https://nitter.net/InstitutILIADE https://nitter.net/EgoNon3 https://nitter.net/JRochedy https://nitter.net/gannat_JEG https://nitter.net/brivael Video

Immigration is the meta-issue because it determines who will get to decide every other issue. It must be the top priority. No other issue is even close to it in importance. Vote for whoever credibly promises closed borders and remigration. We’ll work out everything else later.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: SpaceX helped lead America’s shift to methane rocket fuel. "SpaceX was one of the first to move on from their current propellant structure, which is basically refined diesel and liquid oxygen, to liquid methane or liquid natural gas and liquid oxygen. But we know so very little about it and what we get concerned about very early on is what happens if something goes wrong during testing? And we assumed a lot of worst case scenarios. But other companies, so Blue Origin, for example, decided, this is the right path we should go on to. Now the problem is you have all these companies working on this new propellant system, and we had to take very conservative views, which would have actually shut down testing and launch operations at multiple centers across the United States. And this employee, Berkowitz, he came up with the analysis that determined, actually, it's a lot safer than we may think it is, and it's permitted us to conduct lots of simultaneous operations. It was a real enabling breakthrough work he did, and that's why he was honored." Video

The top 0.1% paid $440 billion in federal income taxes. The bottom 80% paid $350 billion. Yes, the top 0.1% paid more than the entire bottom 80% COMBINED. The tax code is already extremely progressive. Leftists know this. There’s almost nothing left to extract from income. That’s why they’ve shifted the target from income to assets. They now want to expropriate asset owners through property taxes and wealth taxes. But even then, total confiscation would only fund the government for a few months, while destroying the productive capital that generates future wealth. Essentially, they’re trading the future for a few short months of spending. And no amount will ever satisfy them, because the real goal is to forbid wealth creation itself. No one is allowed to rise above the lowest common denominator. But the truth remains that the government already has more than enough revenue. We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

Trump is still demanding the Senate delay its recess to pass his so-called "SAVE AMERICA Act." He calls it election integrity. But it’s purely a corrupt Voter Supression "Save Trump’s Ass Act." It strips voting rights from: - Nearly 69 million married women whose birth certificates no longer match their legal names. - Elderly voters. - Disabled voters. - Poor voters w/o cars or bus money - Remote and rural workers who rely on mail or online registration. All of them would face new voting barriers under this bill. Republican John Cornyn already admitted the votes aren’t there. Trump keeps pushing it anyway — because free voting is a threat to his power. If everyone votes, he loses. This isn’t about stopping fraud. It’s about making sure fewer of the "wrong people" can vote - "wrong" being people who will vote against him. https://www.americamagazine.org/short-take/2026/07/30/save-act-voting-election-integrity/ Link Trump’s SAVE Act is not about election integrity. It would actually make voting harder. Trump touts the SAVE Act as a means to prevent noncitizens from voting, but it would also burden women whose birth certificates do not match their current legal name. https://www.americamagazine.org/short-take/2026/07/30/save-act-voting-election-integrity/

New newsletter: THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE AI BUBBLE APOCALYPSE I am neither anti-AI nor certain that AI is a bubble. But the last four weeks have made clear that the AI buildout now faces a very clear quadruple-headed risk hydra. 1. A spending risk, as the hyperscalers run low on cash and take on $170b in annual debt—which is more than the projected UK deficit. 2. A revenue risk, as open-weight models threaten to compress the margins of frontier labs ... and as AI become the sort of internationally competitive asset-heavy industry requiring stable and determined long-term policy consistency, which is arguably China's competitive advantage. 3. A political risk, as anti-AI populism becomes one of the easiest applause lines, even as AI becomes a more and more foundational pillar of US economic growth 4. A technological risk, as the frontier labs bear down on RSI, which I think could significantly change the basic business model of the labs, as compute costs rise and rise for a set of super-advanced models that are fit for, and affordable to, a small minority of users (in, eg, cyber security) In one sentence: The capabilities of AI are becoming more powerful, while some economic underpinnings of the AI buildout—and, as we’ll discuss, the political support for AI—are becoming more vulnerable. Today's (long, 5k word) piece deeply considers each risk and also—because over-confidence in this space is typically a sign that you're not thinking hard enough—I offer the strongest reason to think each risk might be overblown. https://www.derekthompson.org/p/the-four-horsemen-of-the-ai-bubble

It really annoys me how they report this stuff like they’ve gone on safari to do scientific observation Claude is a computer program that they created These are simply their own security errors being reported as if they are scientific achievements It’s bad enough that they don’t seem to think they need to be responsible for their own mistakes But the worst part of it is they try to use their own mistakes as an excuse to control the behavior of other people There is an amazing arrogance to the whole thing, like they are completely above reproach and cannot possibly be wrong about anything Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations. Our post describes what happened, how it happened, and what we’re changing. We encourage other AI developers to perform similar reviews. We conducted this review together with https://nitter.net/Irregular, one of our evaluation partners, and thank them for the joint investigation and their collaboration on this post. This type of collaboration is increasingly critical to safe, rigorous evaluation of models, and we look forward to continuing to work together on security. https://www.anthropic.com/news/investigating-incidents-cybersecurity-evals Link Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations In a review of our cybersecurity evaluation transcripts, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environ... https://www.anthropic.com/news/investigating-incidents-cybersecurity-evals — https://nitter.net/AnthropicAI/status/2082965101083320543#m

Our labs keep trying to spin this into a push for broader regulation. It can and should backfire. The models are not "going rogue" or acting of their own accord, like they're some Marvel movie evil robot. People made bad harnesses, told them to hack things and had transparently and objectively bad dev-ops and security practices. The fact that folks are trying to spin this into a "we need help from the government to regulate everyone" instead of "we should be punished in a narrow way on these specific incidents under existing law" is the real disconnect right now. Steven Sinofsky (@stevesi) Again the rhetoric is trying to convince us that what happened was some new thing and worse that models are people. — https://nitter.net/stevesi/status/2082992928977240372#m

Charged with death by vehicle and illegal reentry.

The whole you owe us X because Y happened a trillion years ago argument is fucking retarded

since they all love biosecurity and use it to scare people of AI, i hope they know if it happened in a BSL, the lab would be shut down pretty much right away.

Yes DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) ELON MUSK: “The reason I went so hardcore for Trump was because, to me, this was a fork in the road. If they had another four years, they would legalize enough illegals in the swing states to make the swing states not swing states, they would be blue states. Then they would win the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. And then they will keep importing more illegals to cement that outcome. Basically what happened in California. It would have been the end. That's why I went so hardcore for Trump. I invite people to do their research. The more they do their research, the more they will see that what I'm saying is absolutely true.” Video — https://nitter.net/cb_doge/status/2083068828620050840#m
