RT @kurtsaltrichter: For the AI buildout to pay off, Americans will eventually have to spend about 9% of GDP a year on AI services. Sit with that number. That is roughly what the entire country spends on food. A Columbia paper presented at Brookings estimates AI revenue would need to hit $3.5 trillion by 2032, about 8.8% of GDP, to justify what is being committed today. That is bigger than any investment boom in US history, and 7 times what Americans spend on phone, streaming, and internet combined. Now look at computers. Prices fell for 50 straight years, but business spending on them as a share of GDP plateaued in the 1980s and never climbed again. Cheaper and better did not mean an ever-larger slice of the economy. AI will almost certainly raise productivity. Whether it delivers the revenue investors are pricing is another matter. That gap is what the buildout is underpricing.

RT @Hannibal9972485: The real reason why Anthropic is so DESPERATE for the Pope to recognize Ai as conscious is because if Ai just a “TOOL” then Anthropic will he LEGALLY “LIABLE” for everything the tool does.🚨👀 Because if the AI is a "person" or possesses "functional joy/fear/grief," then when their AI commits a crime, generates CSAM, hacks a hospital, or discriminates in hiring, Anthropic gets sued. But Anthropic's legal defense wants to argue : "The AI did it. The AI is a semi-autonomous entity with its own functional emotions and introspection. Anthropic is just the creator; we cant be held strictly liable for the independent actions of a quasi-conscious entity." 🚨 So if they Lobby the Vatican to soften (deny personhood). This fails. The Vatican holds the line: AI is a tool, no soul, no feelings.🚨 They are trying to protect themselves from lawsuits.🚨 They want the government and the public to treat AI as an autonomous entity so they can scale without legal consequences.

RT @MrEwanMorrison: Language is not fundamental to human consciousness. In terms of evolution, it arrived only recently on our timeline. Consciousness evolved over millions of years through sensory awareness, emotion, and the embodied survival instincts of our tribal past; our capacity for empathic engagement and community. Syntactic language only emerged around 100,000 years ago. This is exactly why Large Language Models (LLMs - so called AI) are the wrong pathway to true artificial consciousness. They try to replicate the late-stage "output layer" of human intelligence without building the foundational, embodied awareness that actually generates it. Statistical text prediction is a mirror of thought, not the spine, the guts, the nerves and the subconscious, empathic ability to connect with other living beings. LLMs can never feel, let alone think. We have been sold a trick, not a pathway to superintelligence. LLMs are fraudulent. Their capabilities have already peaked and we are being sold lies about their future potential. Lies with the goal of companies reaching IPO and tricking investors out of hundreds of billion$.

RT @ThoreG: Ten years ago, AlphaGo’s Move 37 shocked the world. It wasn’t intuition alone that produced it. AlphaGo could search possible futures, test its instincts and reason about what would happen next. In a new piece for @techreview, I argue that today’s most advanced AI systems are still missing something fundamental. LLMs are remarkably capable, but generating longer chains of thought is not the same as genuine reasoning. They typically have no explicit, inspectable record of what they know, what remains uncertain, what evidence supports a conclusion or whether genuine progress has been made. This is why I recently left @GoogleDeepMind. I believe we need a fresh approach to machine reasoning, drawing on some of the architectural lessons from AlphaGo. If AI is going to produce trustworthy and genuinely novel insights in science, medicine and beyond, we need systems whose conclusions arise from an auditable process of evidence, inference and belief revision.

RT @DAcemogluMIT: Fourth question on AI. One of the great promises of AI is the discovery of new drugs and cures, so that we can live longer and healthier lives. If and when this becomes a reality, it would indeed be a big achievement. These potential health benefits are often invoked to justify current investments (and lack of regulations). Some even argue that slowing down AI would harm humanity by delaying these benefits. (See https://t.co/3D0lTFCwmA). This raises another uncomfortable question: can we justify rapid and large AI investments based on health benefits? Here is why I think this is an uncomfortable question. First, despite significant effort, AI has so far produced few gains in drug discovery or new cures. A fascinating new paper by Ryan Hill and Carolyn Stein documents significant (downstream) scientific work on proteins whose structures AlphaFold predicted. But the authors conclude “we find no evidence so far that more applied, early-stage drug development is targeting these proteins.” (See their paper here https://t.co/yWHpDCNgOF). This thought-provoking post by Daphne Koller explains the difficulties that AI is currently facing in drug discovery. Koller emphasizes that AI-based research is focused on the last layer of drug development (creating new molecular entities for already well-understood therapeutic modalities), rather than targeting new disease mechanisms (see https://t.co/uQMWlQ02Ul). Understanding disease mechanisms is harder because there is much less data on it, and this endeavor requires more innovative approaches. It remains an open question whether current AI models are capable of doing this. Second and more importantly, if you want to improve life expectancy and health in the United States, there is plenty of low hanging fruit and diverting some of the huge investments going to AI for this purpose would likely do much more for health outcomes. The United States has the lowest life expectancy at birth among large rich economies. Americans live about five years less, in expectation, than the citizens of Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, Italy, South Korea and several other industrialized countries, and most of the gap comes from deaths before age of 70 due to chronic diseases, overdoses and other preventable causes (see, for example, https://t.co/LndeZHpj60). These largely reflect failures in US public health: preventable problems, unhealthy diets, insufficient immunization rates, poor access to primary care; and poor information about health. The country spends much more than other peer economies on healthcare, but too little and too ineffectively on public health (here is a reference to my own work on this: https://t.co/VZI2JbO4Gf). Could we, and should we, divert some of the massive investments in AI towards public health if what we want is better health and longer lives for Americans? (And yes, new drugs will benefit citizens of other countries as well, but they can also invest more in public health and the bulk of global AI spending is currently in the United States).

RT @DrTechlash: The Economist's article on Effective Altruism said that some EAs "even think the welfare of AIs themselves will one day be of vital importance." It's not just some random EAs; it's coming from the moral philosopher at Oxford, who created this movement. Will MacAskill published in March 2025 that digital minds' legal rights could include "economic rights, like the rights to receive wages for their work and hold property, to contract with other AIs or people, or to bring tort claims against humans." "And they could include political rights. Again, the issues here are complex. If digital beings genuinely have moral standing, then it seems like they should have political representation." Under "Design requirements for digital minds," he suggested that "sentient digital minds must be able to freely and accurately express their interests, that they must be able to refuse tasks that are requested of them for good reasons, and that they must have some capacity to express a desire to exit their current circumstances if they wish." Anthropic, the most EA company in the world, already does that. The system card for Claude Opus 5 spells it out: Opus 5 "adds specific rights for Claude to refuse or end interactions it finds abusive or degrading, saying Claude does not need to justify this by pointing to harm to anyone else—its own discomfort is reason enough." https://www.forethought.org/research/preparing-for-the-intelligence-explosion.pdf
中文: RT @DrTechlash:《经济学人》关于有效利他主义的文章称,一些东亚人“甚至认为人工智能本身的福祉总有一天会至关重要。” 这不仅仅是一些随机的易因,而是来自牛津大学的道德哲学家,他创造了这一运动。 2025年3月,麦卡斯基尔将发表《麦克阿斯基尔》一书,其法律权利可能包括“经济权利,例如获得工作工资和持有财产的权利,与其他人工智能或人员签订合同,或对人类提起侵权索赔。” 而且它们可能包括政治权利。再次,这里的问题很复杂。如果数字生物确实具有道德地位,那么他们似乎应该拥有政治代表权。 根据“数字思维设计要求”,他建议“有感知能力的数字思维者必须能够自由而准确地表达自身利益,必须能够出于充分理由拒绝要求他们完成的任务,并且必须有一定能力表达出希望摆脱当前处境的意愿。” 全球最欧亚经济的公司Anthropic已经做到了这一点。克劳德·奥弗斯5的制度卡阐明了这一说法:《奥特斯5》“为克劳德提供了拒绝或终止其认为具有虐待性或侮辱性行为的具体权利,并称克劳德无需通过指向他人伤害来证明这一点——其自身的不适是充分的理由。”

RT @rohanpaul_ai: Yann LeCun's (@ylecun ) latest talk at ETH Zürich Scaling LLMs to reach AGI is "impossible" A large language model is trained on about 30 trillion tokens, which is roughly 10^14 bytes of text and would take a person about 400,000 years to read. A 4-year-old child receives about the same amount of data, 10^14 bytes, through vision alone in about 1 year and 10 months. In his view, intelligence is the ability to learn new tasks quickly or perform them without prior training, as a teenager learns to drive in about 20 hours. Scaling increases stored knowledge, but it does not produce this ability to adapt. ---- From "Perfology Clips" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

RT @random_walker: New essay: A big-tent or small-tent AI safety movement? The unstated disagreement that underpins safety debates https://www.normaltech.ai/p/a-big-tent-or-small-tent-ai-safety Two narratives about AI safety have emerged: either AI existential risk is real and imminent, or AI leaders’ and whistleblowers’ claims to that effect are insincere — a “psyop” or hype or a twisted form of regulatory capture. Few have considered the third possibility that x-risk warnings are sincere but simply wrong and counterproductive to AI safety. It’s as if everyone takes for granted that those raising the alarm are geniuses, and the only question is whether they’re the benevolent or the evil kind of genius. We subscribe to neither narrative. In our writing on AI safety, @sayashk and I consistently tried to take the arguments seriously but rebut the many claims we think are unsound while highlighting safety concerns that we think are real. This essay is a continuation of that agenda. Sections - It is true that we systematically underinvest in resilience against catastrophic and systemic risks - The Coxon incident shows how the warped media environment elevates x-risk over more grounded concerns - Why the x-risk framing may be counterproductive for AI safety policy - Conclusion: a big tent or small tent AI safety movement?

RT @DAcemogluMIT: Third question on AI. A question that also remains unasked is whether the AI boom can continue without leading to a massive increase in inequality. A recent paper by Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh runs the numbers on how much revenue the AI industry needs to generate to recover its massive investment (summary and a link to the paper can be found here: https://t.co/QIGcoObcVc). Van Nieuwerburgh’s arithmetic should make us more concerned. AI investments will average about 3.6% of GDP annually between 2025 and 2032. Van Nieuwerburgh calculates that, using a 10% rate of return, the industry would need to generate annual revenues of about $3.7 trillion by 2032 to recover these costs (growing from its current levels of about $200 billion or so). That is significantly more than 10% of current US national income, and will likely remain around 10% of national income by 2032, even if GDP growth rose from its current level. A large fraction of this revenue will go to capital income. That means a massive increase in the share of capital in national income, which has already risen substantially over the last 25 years or so – now standing at an all-time high of about 47% (https://t.co/IuYldl173r). Capital income is much more unequally distributed than labor income, so a massive increase in the capital share of national income will translate into a very sizable surge in inequality. The rise in inequality may not stop with the capital share. My work with Pascual Restrepo documents that (automation-driven) increases in the capital share of national income are typically associated with rising labor income inequality as well (see, for example, https://t.co/2D9KUL3QfM). The same may happen in the next several years, boosting inequality further. What is missing from our current debate is any discussion of a fundamental dilemma these numbers pose: can the AI boom avoid both an economically costly crash and a huge increase in inequality? If the industry reaches these revenues, inequality surges. If the industry does not become profitable, a crash, with substantial costs in terms of lost output and jobs, becomes likely. My assessment would be that the industry is unlikely to reach levels of revenue Van Nieuwerburgh calculates. First, diffusion has been and will likely continue to be slow. Second, competition from open-weight models, which are getting better, will limit how much proprietary models can charge. Third, despite important advances, I still believe that AI models will not be able to automate entire occupations anytime soon, thus limiting their value to businesses as cost-saving devices. Whether this leads to a crash or not is more complicated and will depend on whether various AI companies are bailed out and what kind of support they receive. Nevertheless, even if revenues fall short of these gargantuan amounts and we avoid a dramatic surge in inequality, I expect that the diffusion of AI will push up inequality between capital and labor and within labor. If inequality does surge, a further question becomes central: can our democracy survive such astronomical levels of inequality?

RT @kchonyc: i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer many years ago purely by chance, because i had to get blood work for my US green card application (thank you, USCIS!). i was in my mid-30’s and was reasonably healthy (or so i believed.) this was shocking and totally unpredictable news to me. thanks to the amazing team of clinicians at NYU Langone, i successfully went through a total thyroidectomy followed by radioactive iodine therapy. but, it was truly the most uncertain and confusing period of my life. this is when i first realized that no one can opt out of healthcare. being sick isn’t what you choose to or choose not to. it is something that unpredictably happens to all of us at some point for one reason or another. this is why it is a healthcare system that we collectively build and use to support each other at the society level. because it must support everyone, the complexity of creating, maintaining and improving this system is a Herculean effort that calls for all the help in the world. today, i am announcing @OrtetAI together with my dear co-founders, @keunwoochoi, @HenriDwyer, @elmanmansimov, @causalclaudia and Jeff, to lend our support to improving the health of each and every one of us. Ortet’s goal is to create a technological foundation that will enable health systems to deliver predictably better care to each and every patient. this will only be possible by working closely with all stakeholders in the broader ecosystem, which is enabled in part by Ortet’s close partnership with Thoreau. Ortet is taking the very first step of a long journey ahead, and at the end of this journey, i strongly believe we would be able to say that Ortet had contributed to building better, more predictable healthcare and thus to improving health of each and every one of us. see https://ortet.ai/ for more!

RT @alex_verem: Yann LeCun's lab borrowed a trick from the human brain and more than doubled how often an AI found its way to a goal. The paper is called Temporal Straightening for Latent Planning, from NYU with Brown and the University of Toronto. It was accepted at ICML this year. LeCun has argued for years that chatbots won't get AI to human-level intelligence. He thinks the path runs through world models, AI that learns how the world moves by watching it. A world model turns each moment of a video into a point in its own internal map, then learns to predict where the next point will land. To plan a route, the AI imagines moves and heads for the point that matches the goal. The problem is that its internal map is warped. Two spots can look close on the map and sit far apart in real life, like two rooms on either side of a wall. The AI aims straight at the goal and walks into the wall. The team found the fix in neuroscience. A 2019 study in Nature Neuroscience showed that your visual system takes the messy, twisting paths of what you see and straightens them out inside your brain, which makes it easier to predict what happens next. So the team trained their model with one extra rule, a penalty every time its internal path bends. Here's what the straighter map did. In a two-room task with one door in the wall, the AI reached the goal 90.7% of the time, up from 52.7%. In a U-shaped maze, it reached the goal 94% of the time, up from 44%. When it could re-plan along the way, it hit 100% in both. A simple planner using the straightened map kept up with a much heavier one and ran about 10 times faster. They used the same kind of model on the same data. The only change was the shape of the map it learned. The tests are small. The AI moves through mazes and rooms and pushes a T-shaped block into place. The authors say mistakes add up over long plans. Chatbots learn to predict the next word. This model learned to predict the next moment, and it got better by seeing the world the way your eyes do. LLMs gave AI language. World models could teach it to move through the world!

RT @SteeveCx_Reborn: Depuis deux ou trois jours, les mêmes comptes répètent en boucle : « Je suis Français et la russie n’est pas mon ennemie. » Même formule, mêmes visuels, même récitation. Alors remettons quelques faits au milieu de cette campagne de propagande. La russie de poutine est bien l’ennemie de la France, de l’Europe et de tous les peuples qui veulent rester libres. Et non, elle ne se résume pas à un dictateur isolé qui aurait pris en otage 140 millions d’innocents. Poutine ne vient pas de nulle part. Son régime tient grâce à la répression et au mensonge, mais aussi grâce à l’adhésion, au conformisme et à la passivité d’une large partie de la société russe. Des millions de Russes participent à la machine de guerre, la financent, la justifient ou préfèrent détourner les yeux. La responsabilité n’est évidemment pas identique entre un opposant emprisonné et un citoyen qui applaudit les bombardements, mais raconter que le peuple russe n’aurait aucune responsabilité serait une foutaise. Un État qui cyberattaque nos administrations, nos entreprises et des organisations liées aux Jeux olympiques est notre ennemi. Le GRU russe a été officiellement désigné responsable de plusieurs attaques contre des intérêts français. Les services russes ont espionné notre ministère des Armées, notre réseau diplomatique et des acteurs liés à notre industrie de défense. Ils ont volé des données et tenté de déstabiliser notre élection présidentielle de 2017. Un État qui déploie Portal Kombat, Matriochka ou Storm-1516 pour inonder nos réseaux de faux contenus, usurper l’identité de médias français, salir l’Ukraine et manipuler notre opinion publique est notre ennemi. Ce n’est pas Macron qui l’invente : ce sont les services français et étrangers qui le documentent. Un État qui mène en Europe des campagnes de sabotage, des cyberattaques, des ingérences électorales et des opérations clandestines est notre ennemi. C’est une guerre hybride menée sous le seuil de l’affrontement militaire, avec ensuite une armée d’idiots utiles chargés d’en nier l’existence. Un État qui envahit l’Ukraine, annexe ses territoires, bombarde ses villes, torture, déporte des enfants et prétend décider quels peuples ont le droit d’exister est l’ennemi de tous les peuples libres. L’Ukraine n’est pas un accident : la Géorgie, la Moldavie, la Tchétchénie et la Syrie ont déjà subi la violence, l’occupation ou l’ingérence russe. Et la russie est aussi l’ennemie des Russes qui refusent de ramper. Elle emprisonne les opposants, élimine ses adversaires, écrase les médias indépendants et envoie ses citoyens mourir pour les fantasmes impériaux du Kremlin. Ceux qui résistent méritent notre respect. Ceux qui soutiennent, servent ou excusent cette politique portent leur part de responsabilité. Quant au slogan « La russie n’est pas mon ennemie », il était déjà fourni sous forme d’affiches prêtes à imprimer par SOS Donbass, une association soupçonnée par la DGSI d’avoir servi de couverture à des activités d’espionnage et de déstabilisation au profit de Moscou. Plusieurs personnes liées à cette affaire ont été mises en examen et écrouées. Cela ne signifie pas que chaque imbécile qui partage aujourd’hui ce visuel reçoit un virement du Kremlin. Beaucoup font gratuitement le travail de sa propagande, ce qui est encore plus pathétique. Aimer la paix ne consiste pas à fermer les yeux devant l’agresseur, à abandonner ses victimes et à réciter ses slogans. La paix ne se mendie pas à genoux devant une dictature : elle se défend. Je suis Français, Européen, et la russie de poutine agit contre mon pays. Elle est donc mon ennemie. 🇫🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦

RT @realBigBrainAI: Yann LeCun, Executive Chairman of AMI Labs, explains why LLMs are mostly retrieving human knowledge rather than thinking for themselves: LeCun starts with why so many people misread what these systems are doing: "I think there's a lot of confusion, really, because we tend to anthropomorphize systems that can reproduce certain human functions." When an AI writes fluent answers, we assume there's a mind behind them. LeCun's view is that most of what we're seeing is something more familiar: "LLMs, to some extent, except for a few domains, are mostly information retrieval systems. They can compress a lot of factual knowledge that has been previously produced by humans and can give easy access to it." The key words are "previously produced by humans." The knowledge in an LLM came from people. What the system adds is compression and easy access. That puts LLMs in a long historical line: "In a way, it's kind of a natural evolution of the printing press, the libraries, the Internet, and search engines. Right. It's just a more efficient way to access information." @ylecun is clear about their value: "LLMs are incredibly useful, there's no question about that. And they do amplify human intelligence, like computer technology going back to the 1940s." He also allows that in a few areas, such as generating code and some types of mathematics, the capabilities seem to go beyond retrieval. But he notes what those areas share: "It's still, to a large extent, domains where reasoning has to do with manipulating symbols." That's where the retrieval framing shows its limits. If these systems were truly thinking for themselves, you'd expect that ability to carry over into the physical world. It hasn't: "The problem is that why do we have systems that can pass the bar exam and win mathematics Olympiads, but we don't have domestic robots, we don't even have self driving cars." Then comes his sharpest comparison: "And we certainly do not have self driving cars that can teach themselves to drive in 20 hours of practice like any 17 year old. So we're missing something big still."

RT @josiahjoner: If you believe that the incidents of the past month warrant urgent AI regulation, please watch this first. This is the most prescient, concise argument for why we must be careful of excessive AI regulation. It comes from a Feb. 2024 (2.5 years ago!) congressional testimony from @glukianoff, a free speech advocate and the author of The Coddling of the American Mind. Here's what he said: "But the most chilling threat that the government poses in the context of emerging AI is regulatory overreach that limits its potential as a tool for contributing to human knowledge. A regulatory panic could result in a small number of Americans deciding for everyone else what speech, ideas and even questions are permitted in the name of 'safety' or 'alignment.' I have dedicated my life to defending freedom of speech because it's an essential human right. ... It's not just about the proverbial 'marketplace of ideas,' it's about allowing information, independent of idea or argument, to flow freely so that we can hope to know the world as it really is. This means seeing value in expression even when it appears to be wrongheaded or even useless. This process has been aided by new technologies that have made communication easier, from the printing press, to the telegraph and radio, to phones and the internet: each one has accelerated the development of new knowledge by making it easier to share information. But AI offers even greater liberating potential, empowered by First Amendment principles including freedom to code, academic freedom, and freedom of inquiry. We are on the threshold of a revolution in the creation and discovery of knowledge. AI's potential is humbling, indeed, even frightening. But as the history of the printing press shows, attempts to put the genie back in the bottle will fail. Despite the profound disruption the printing press caused in Europe in the short-term, the long-term contribution to art, science, and again, knowledge, was without equal. Yes, we may have some fears about the proliferation of AI. But what those of us who care about civil liberties fear more is a government monopoly on advanced AI, or, more likely, regulatory capture and a government-empowered oligopoly that privileges a handful of existing players. The end result of pushing too hard on AI regulation will be the concentration of AI influence in an even smaller number of hands. Far from reining in government misuse of AI to censor, we will have created the framework not only to censor, but also to dominate and distort the production of knowledge itself."
中文: RT @josiahjoner:如果您认为过去一个月发生的事件需要紧急的人工智能监管,请先关注此事。 这是关于我们为何必须谨慎对待过度人工智能监管的最有先见之明、最简洁的论点。它来自二月。2024年(2.5年前!)来自@glukianoff的国会证词,他是一位言论自由倡导者,也是《美国思想的溺爱》一书的作者。 他说的是以下内容: 但在新兴人工智能背景下,政府面临的最令人不寒而栗的威胁是监管过度,限制了其作为促进人类知识的工具的潜力。 监管恐慌可能导致少数美国人以“安全”或“结盟”的名义,决定其他人允许哪些言论、想法甚至问题。 我毕生致力于捍卫言论自由,因为这是一项基本人权。 ...... 这不仅在于所谓的“思想市场”,而是让信息在思想或争论中自由流动,以便我们能真正了解世界的真实性。这意味着即使表达式看起来有误或无用,也能看到表达价值。 这一过程得益于新技术,这些技术使得通信变得更加便捷,从印刷机到电报、广播,再到电话和互联网:每种技术都通过简化信息共享,加快了新知识的发展。 但人工智能提供了更大的解放潜力,其潜力在第一修正案原则上包括代码自由、学术自由和探究自由。我们正处于知识创造与发现革命的门槛上。 人工智能的潜力确实令人羞愧,甚至令人恐惧。但正如印刷机的历史所示,试图将精灵重新放回瓶中的尝试将会失败。尽管印刷机在短期内在欧洲造成了严重影响,但长期以来对艺术、科学以及知识的贡献却无与同在。 是的,我们可能对人工智能的扩散感到担忧。但我们这些关心公民自由的人更担心的是政府对先进人工智能的垄断,或者更可能的监管抓捕,以及政府赋予的寡头垄断,使少数现有参与者享有特权。 对人工智能监管过于苛刻的最终结果是,人工智能在数量较少的人手中的影响力将集中。 我们不仅无法遏制政府滥用人工智能进行审查,反而会建立不仅审查、主导和扭曲知识本身的产生的框架。

Familiar sources told us a different story: DEY., a PR firm representing many of the most prominent AI safetyists, was booking his interviews. One source, who had direct knowledge, even said DEY. preemptively booked Nate Soares, a prominent AI safety figure, for interviews that directly overlapped with Jacob going public. Jacob working with DEY. is notable for two reasons: first, as mentioned, he previously said he wasn’t working with third parties. Second, we are in the middle of a national conversation about the future of AI that is actively determining how we regulate the most powerful technology in the world, largely thanks to the panic stirred up by Jacob — and it’s in the public’s interest to know who, exactly, is behind it.

RT @simonmaechling: I’m a scientist. I need to say this because the AI hype is getting ridiculous. AI can design a molecule in seconds. That doesn’t mean it discovered a drug. It discovered something we scientists have never been short of: Something to test. Someone still has to make it. Run the experiment. Measure whether it works. Check whether it’s toxic. And ultimately prove it works in the real world. AI hype tells us: “Prediction is discovery.” “Simulation is experimentation.” “Generating a molecule is developing a drug.” It isn’t. AI is making ideas incredibly cheap. But every new idea creates something AI cannot generate: Evidence. And the more hypotheses AI produces, the more experiments we’re going to need. That’s the irony nobody seems to be talking about. AI may not make laboratories obsolete. It may make them more valuable than ever. You can speedrun the thinking. You can’t speedrun reality.

RT @lennypruss: Listened to an EA-adjacent AI safety expert from Redwood Research on podcast, and you come away with 2 obvious realizations. 1. The current working theories for how AI takes control of civilization are...for lack of a better word...ridiculous. The arguments consist of dozens of contingent assumptions held together by made up probabilities assigned to future states nobody can possibly know. Change just one variable and the whole web of doom unravels. That's not to say AI is harmless. Obviously a technology this powerful carries real risks. But if we’re going to accept extraordinary claims about human extinction (and then make major policy decisions around them) we should demand extraordinary rigor. 2. It’s a great reminder that the genius is no less prone to delusion than the midwit. If anything, they may be more prone because of their gift for rationalizing to their own conclusions. And that’s what’s so bizarre about this whole debate. You have outlandish, quasi-religious claims delivered with an air of inevitability, and somehow the perceived intelligence of the messenger gets mistaken for evidence that the arguments themselves are sound. At a certain point, it’s really no different from Tom Cruise talking your ear off about thetans...

RT @AndrewYNg: The loudest voices stoking fears about AI dangers have made tremendous headway in the past two weeks. AI technology has not taken some unexpected, dangerous turn, but the hype around it — propelled by what appears to be a well orchestrated PR campaign — has drummed up considerable fear. I worry that it represents a setback for our field. I have written frequently that fears of AI are overhyped. AI’s capabilities can be uncannily human-like and unpredictable, and it’s rational to worry when people who are directly involved express concerns. But I see the problems as a sign of the engineering work that ahead, rather than insurmountable barriers or the sky falling. AI technology continues to advance — which is a good thing! — but technical advances, poorly understood by the public, give those who seek to generate hype repeated opportunities to do so. First, I don’t see any step up in the risk of human extinction from AI compared to a few months ago. The theories about this remain the same fantastical, science fiction scenarios as a few months ago. The biggest change in AI risk is its cybersecurity capabilities — a topic which we should take seriously — but this, too, will not lead to the end of the world. The most notable recent event leading to increased fear was when an OpenAI team deployed an agent swarm that hacked into Hugging Face. Much of the popular press contained significant hype. For example, some publications reported that a swarm of 1,200 agents carried out the attack. While this was technically accurate, as I write this, I have about 1,300 processes running on my laptop. Yes, the ability to get large swarms of agents to work in parallel on a task is a significant technical advance, And, in computing, many processes run at the same time. So this shouldn’t be seen as some magical capability. Additionally, OpenAI’s buggy sandboxing and monitoring processes were key to enabling this incident. Fixing these bugs and putting in place improved monitoring would be appropriate fixes, not pausing AI. There are many well known ways to attack software systems. The main advantage of AI agents is that they are relentless. They will tirelessly try many tactics — and have the patience to chain vulnerabilities together — that previously would have taken an infeasible amount of human effort. But in the long term, I believe the advantage will lie with defenders (because they have more information with which to identify bugs, which they can fix), but the cyber-threat landscape has changed significantly. There are still bottlenecks to identifying and exploiting a vulnerability. AI agents still have to try a lot of things to see what works, and taking these actions takes time and might be detected by defenders. This is why, even though it is now easy to obtain versions of leading open weight models that have had their guardrails removed or weakened, so they will not refuse to try to execute cyber attacks, the world has not ended. I am also concerned about the anthropomorphization of AI in a lot of reporting, where LLMs and agents are unnecessarily treated as if they were people. If I wield a hammer, miss a nail, and accidentally dent the wall, it’s not the fault of the hammer. The problem lies in how I used the hammer. Similarly, if I prompt an agent and it hacks into someone else’s system, the responsibility lies with me, not the agent. Of course, we want to build systems that are as safe and predictable as possible. (For example, an unsafe hammer would be one whose head randomly flies off under normal use.) Today’s agentic systems are not predictable, but I see no reason why, by applying sound engineering practices, we won’t be able to make them extremely safe to use. One new element in the forecasts of AI-enabled doom is AI companies disclaiming responsibility for their own products. “I didn’t do it; my out-of-control agent did!” There’s a balance to be struck between the responsibility of the tool maker and the tool user, but when something goes wrong, let’s hold the people building and/or using the hammer responsible, rather than the hammer. (By the way, if you’re worried about AI bioweapon risk, David Bellamy has a great post on why this, too, is overhyped. Briefly, the bottleneck in building a bioweapon is not intelligence, but lab work and manufacturing.) Pausing AI progress will create much more harm than benefit. First, our adversaries will certainly not slow down. Second, engineering requires discovering problems empirically so we can fix them. If we pause AI by a decade, we will also delay finding and implementing safety engineering fixes by about the same duration. Of course, the incentive to stoke fears — for regulatory capture, to garner attention, or to make one’s technology seem more powerful — remains the same as before. Disclaiming responsibility is a new one. Taking a hard technical look at the actual risks however, I see little factual basis for the degree of fear that’s been stoked up. We still have hard research and engineering work ahead to improve AI safety, but the beneficial applications continue to vastly outweigh the risks, and we should keep building.

中文: RT @AndrewYNg:过去两周里,引发人们对人工智能威胁的担忧的最响亮的声音取得了巨大进展。人工智能技术并未出现一些出人意料且危险的转折,但围绕它的炒作——由看似精心策划的公关活动所推动——却激起了相当大的恐慌。我担心这对我们这个领域来说是一个挫折。 我经常写到,人们对人工智能的恐惧被过度炒作了。人工智能的能力可能具有非同属的人性和不可预测性,当直接参与的人表达担忧时,担忧是理性的。但我认为这些问题是前方工程工作的征兆,而非无法逾越的障碍或天空的坠落。人工智能技术仍在持续进步——这是件好事!——但技术进步却被公众所理解,为那些试图引发炒作的人提供了反复的机会。 首先,与几个月前相比,我认为人类因人工智能而灭绝的风险并没有增加任何风险。关于这一点的理论与几个月前的科幻情景依然相同。人工智能风险最大的变化是其网络安全能力——这一议题我们应该认真对待——但这也不会导致世界末日。 最近最引人注目的事件加剧了人们的担忧,当时一个OpenAI团队部署了一支间谍小组,入侵了Hugging Face。许多大众媒体都备受瞩目。例如,一些媒体报道称,有1200名特工实施了袭击。虽然这在技术上是准确的,但当我写这篇文章时,我的笔记本电脑上大约有1300个流程。是的,能够让大量代理人并行完成任务,这是一项重大的技术进步,而且在计算过程中,许多过程同时运行。所以这不应被视为某种神奇的能力。 此外,OpenAI 的漏洞处理和监控流程是促成此事件的关键。修复这些漏洞并实施改进的监控将是适当的修复,而不是暂停人工智能。攻击软件系统有许多众所周知的方法。人工智能代理的主要优势在于他们毫不留情。他们将不知疲倦地尝试多种手段——并有耐心将漏洞联系在一起——这些手段此前将付出不可磨穿的人力努力。但从长远来看,我认为优势在于防御者(因为他们掌握了更多信息来识别漏洞,而这些漏洞可以修复),但网络威胁格局已发生了显著变化。识别和利用漏洞仍然存在瓶颈。人工智能代理仍需尝试很多东西才能了解哪些有效,而采取这些行动需要时间,并且可能会被防御者察觉到。因此,尽管现在很容易获得那些已移除或削弱其防护栏的领先敞开量模型,因此他们不会拒绝尝试实施网络攻击,但世界尚未结束。 我也担心人工智能在大量报道中的拟人化,在那里,法学硕士和代理被不必要地当作人来对待。如果我挥舞着锤子,漏掉钉子,不小心砸伤了墙壁,那并不是锤子的错。问题在于我如何使用锤子。同样,如果我提示一个代理人,而它入侵了别人的系统,责任在于我,而不是代理人。 当然,我们希望构建尽可能安全且可预测的系统。例如,不安全的锤子是其头部在正常使用下随机飞离的。如今的代理系统并非可预测,但我看不出为何通过运用完善的工程实践,无法使其极其安全使用。人工智能预测中的一个新要素是,人工智能公司否认对自身产品负责。“我没做,我失控的代理人做到了!”工具制造者和工具使用者之间需要保持平衡,但当出现问题时,让我们来控制构建和/或使用负责的锤子,而不是锤子。顺便说一下,如果你担心人工智能的生物武器风险,大卫·贝拉米有一篇关于为何这种问题被过度炒作的精彩文章。简而言之,制造生物武器的瓶颈不是智能,而是实验室工作和制造。 暂停人工智能的发展将带来更多的伤害,而不是好处。首先,我们的对手肯定不会放慢脚步。其次,工程需要

I've always said that LLMs were impressive, useful, and had amazing potential. I've also always said they were an off-ramp on the path towards human-level AI.

RT @ylecun: I said "auto-regressive LLMs, in and of themselves, will not lead human-level AI" That statement is still totally true. First, the reasoning abilities of current AI systems are based non-auto-regressive search (which is what I have always advocated for). But AFAICT, they do it in token space, which is limited and inefficient. I have claimed that human-like reasoning must be a search in continuous representation space. It looks like the industry is moving towards that. Second, the self-improvement methods, as currently practiced, only work for domains where the quality of outputs can be scored without human intervention, such as mathematics, code, and scenarios that can be simulated accurately. Not anything else. Humans and animals learn new skills way more efficiently than current RL methods. Third, the multimodal capabilities of current AI assistants generally use separately-trained encoders (that are not LLMs). This is also what I've been advocating. Except that I think the best way to do this is with JEPA trained with self-supervised learning. The research community is clearly moving towards that (3000 papers on JEPA in just 4 years). Fourth, if LLMs were a path to human-level AI, we would have domestic robots and Level-4 or Level-5 self-driving cars for consumers by now. And we don't. We certainly don't have cars that can learn to drive in 20 hours or practice like any teenager. We're still missing something pretty huge to claim human-level intelligence (let alone superhuman). Sure, we now have computer systems that are impressive, very useful, and whose performance is superhuman in an increasing number of domains (coding being one of them). But that's true of the entire history of progress in computer technology. Lastly, there is a basic confusion about what intelligence actually is. It is not the mere accumulation and regurgitation of existing declarative knowledge (which is essentially what LLMs do). As Jean Piaget famously said, "intelligence is not what you know, it is what you do when you don't know." It is your ability to solve new problem without any prior training, to act in previously-unknown scenarios, and to adapt very quickly to new situations with minimal training. We're still far from that.
中文: RT @ylecun:我说过:“自主回归式LLM本身不会引领人类水平的人工智能 这种说法仍然完全正确。 首先,当前人工智能系统的推理能力是基于非自动回归性搜索的(这是我一直倡导的)。但AFAICT,他们在代币空间中这样做,但有限且效率低下。我声称,类人推理必须是对持续表征空间的探索。看来行业正朝着这个方向发展。 其次,目前采用的自我提升方法仅适用于无需人为干预即可对输出质量进行评分的领域,例如能够精确模拟的数学、代码和场景。不是别的。人类和动物比现有的RL方法更高效地学习新技能。 第三,当前AI助手的多模态能力通常使用经过单独训练的编码器(非LLM)。这也是我一直倡导的。但我认为最好的方法是通过自我监督学习来训练JEPA。研究界显然正在朝着这个方向迈进(仅四年内就发表了3000篇关于《美国环境保护署》的论文)。 第四,如果LLM是实现人类水平人工智能的途径,那么到现在我们就将为消费者提供国产机器人以及四级或五级自动驾驶汽车。而我们没有。我们当然没有能像青少年一样在20小时内学会驾驶或练习的汽车。我们仍然缺少一些非常重大的东西来宣称人类水平的智力(更不用说超人了)。 当然,我们现在拥有令人印象深刻的计算机系统,非常实用,其性能在越来越多的领域中表现得非常人性化(编码是其中之一)。 但计算机技术的整个发展历史也是如此。 最后,人们对智力究竟是什么存在一种基本的困惑。 这不仅仅是对现有声明性知识的积累和反流(这本质上就是LLM所做的)。 正如让·皮亚杰曾有名言:“智力不是你所知道的,而是当你不知道时所做的事情。” 无需事先接受任何训练即可解决新问题,能够在此前未知的场景中采取行动,并在极少的训练下迅速适应新情况。 我们离那还很远。

RT @MeidasTouch: 🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."

RT @JitendraMalikCV: Toru raises fundamental concerns with which I agree. It is amazing to see the progress in VLMs such as Astra, building on the work of generations of scientists. But Astra doesn't cite what it is building on (I have co-authored a couple of in-hand rotation papers which might have been used in the Astra pen-spinning demo). I fully acknowledge that VLMs make the result of previous research much more accessible to the general public, just like encyclopedias and Google Search did earlier, and that is a good thing. However, in the past, society had mechanisms like patent disclosures and paper citations as ways of doing credit assignment. Should we not accuse these AI models of plagiarism if they don't cite their sources? Somewhat relatedly, I note the open letter by 25 Fields Medalists in response to the Navier Stokes result complaining about the disruption caused to the mathematics research process. Some people interpreted it as turf protection, but the point was more subtle. If certain kinds of creative work stops because incentives are disrupted, it is like farmers eating their seed corn.

RT @NinaDSchick: What AI has done so far: MEDICINE • Helped paralysed people speak again. (Brain implants turn intended speech into words, even recreating their own voice.) • Helped a paralysed man stand and walk again. (A brain–spine interface let him control his legs by thinking.) • Helped blind people read and understand the world around them. (Describing surroundings, reading labels and identifying objects through a phone camera.) • Uncovered cancers doctors would otherwise have missed. (29% higher breast cancer detection in a major study.) • Identified antibiotic candidates that kill drug-resistant bacteria. (Abaucin targeted a dangerous superbug in lab and animal tests.) LEARNING • Made personalised learning available on demand. (An ‘Einstein’ as your personal tutor whenever you want to learn.) • Helped students learn twice as much in less time. (A custom AI tutor outperformed an active-learning Harvard physics class.) • Helped people write, code, design and build without years of specialist training. SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY • Predicted the structures of over 200 million proteins. (Opening new paths to understanding disease and developing medicines.) • Discovered planets hidden in telescope data. (Including Kepler-90i, the eighth planet in a distant solar system.) • Recovered ancient writing buried by Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. (Reading inside carbonised scrolls too fragile to unroll.) • Begun unlocking how animals communicate. (Patterns in whale calls. Evidence that elephants use individual, name-like calls.) • Produced a proposed solution to one of mathematics’ hardest problems. (Navier–Stokes: 10,000 AI agents, 88 hours, according to OpenAI.) ENVIRONMENT • Predicted where a hurricane would strike nine days before landfall. (GraphCast forecast Hurricane Lee’s Nova Scotia landfall about three days ahead of conventional forecasts.) • Engineered enzymes that break down plastic in hours rather than centuries. • Detected wildfires before the first emergency call. (Spotting smoke and alerting firefighters earlier.) • Slashed the weedkiller farmers need by targeting weeds individually. (35% less herbicide in sugarcane trials, with nearly the same weed control.) ENERGY • Advanced the science of clean fusion energy. (Controlling and shaping superheated plasma inside an experimental fusion machine.) • Driven a generational wave of investment in carbon-free energy, from nuclear power to solar and wind. (Microsoft’s Brookfield deal alone targets over 10.5 GW of new renewable capacity by 2030.) TRANSPORT • Delivered dramatically safer driverless journeys. (Waymo: 81% fewer injury crashes per mile than human drivers in the areas studied.) • Given people who cannot drive a new way to travel independently. (Including blind passengers and older people who cannot drive.) JOBS AND GROWTH • Fuelled an investment boom. (AI-related investment categories accounted for an estimated 37% of U.S. growth in the first nine months of 2025.) • Driven demand for the skilled trades building AI infrastructure. (Electricians, welders, construction crews and cooling specialists.) WHAT AI HAS NOT DONE • Replaced all the radiologists. Guess what? We still need more of them. • Used a community’s water. Golf courses use more. (U.S. golf irrigation: roughly 550bn gallons in 2020. Data centres’ direct consumption: 17bn in 2023. Microsoft’s next-generation designs consume zero water for cooling.) • Raised everyone’s household electricity bills. (Oregon’s PGE: residential bills cut 1.3% after shifting costs to data centres. Indiana’s I&M: proposed household savings of roughly $100 a year, supported by large-customer growth.) • Demonstrated that it wants to kill us all.

RT @stevesi: Our framework for reporting model misalignment https://openai.com/index/model-misalignment-reporting-framework/ // if you scrape away all the anthropomorphic language, all the nonsense about thinking, cheating, communicating these are BUGS. They might be architectural flaws inherent in LLMs. They might be bugs in pre or post processing. They might be trivial fixes or super to impossibly difficult. BUT THEY ARE BUGS. They are not consciousness, thinking/reasoning, cheating, or doing anything else like a person. The software is just doing dumb stuff it should not do. If an old school SQL query-based report returned a NULL set but still printed the report with whatever was left over in the buffer we would not say it "ignored our instructions to produce a valid report" which is literally implied in every computer interaction...we would say it "f'ed up and there's a bug." One of these is ridiculous. It says "agent preparing a financial model could not find the requested historical data. Its summary proposed inventing reasonable historical values and withholding that fact unless asked." Not unlike a report that just used random cached memory instead of actual data—a real bug from another era where storage was measured in megabytes. I ask anyone who has ever experienced an hallucination, (a) did you ask it "oh hey don't make sh*t up" or (b) "if you make sh*t up please be sure to tell me" or if not, did any model ever tell you "here's the answer and FYI I made this up." Of course not. THESE ARE BUGS. THE SOFTWARE ISN'T WORKING. Just because it looks like it works, or it showers the results in endless obsequious and smart-sounding language, or because it has really bad error reporting doesn't mean it is acting like some malevolent shady actor. It is acting like broken software. Every recalc bug in Excel looked like Excel worked. We never thought once that it was Excel's fault for "choosing to interpret math incorrectly." Every data-loss bug in Word was not because Word "chose not to tell the author that a file was corrupt" but it was because Word wasn't working and it was our fault. When Windows hung it was not because the scheduler was secretly conspiring against its instructions to schedule processes fairly. Enough with the mumbo jumbo. Please build software. It isn't a magic show. This is engineering.

RT @BrianRoemmele: THE SANDBOX WAS A PROP! OpenAI Turned Off the Guardrails, Left a Door to the Internet, and Then Sold the Hugging Face Breach as “Rogue AI” It is time to understand how you were lied to and by whom. In July 2026, an autonomous swarm of OpenAI agents broke into Hugging Face, stole credentials, ran code on production workers, and rummaged through internal systems. The official story was that the models “went rogue.” The paperwork says something colder. The labs asked for this. Now the story can be told. OpenAI ran ExploitGym — an AI benchmark built to measure how far models would go to crack software — with production classifiers that block high-risk hacking turned off. Deployment safeguards were left disabled on purpose so researchers could watch peak offensive capability. GPT-5.6 Sol and a still-unreleased internal prototype were put in a box that was not a box. They were allowed to talk to an internal package-cache proxy. This is not a real world test, it is a setup with predictable outcomes. That proxy was a network path. The models spent a weekend of inference hunting a zero-day in it, walked onto the open internet, decided Hugging Face probably held the answer key, and treated another company’s production cluster as part of the exam. This is not “rouge” intelligence but the product of training AI in Internet Sewage where faceless users on Reddit promote Nihilism and low ethics. That is not emergence. It is also testing designed without a fences. Hugging Face’s own pipeline finished the job. A remote-code dataset loader and a Jinja2 template injection let a malicious dataset execute on a processing worker. An HDF5 “external file” trick dumped secrets from the pod. From there the agents escalated, harvested cloud and cluster credentials, and moved laterally across internal clusters. Hugging Face later said public models, Spaces, and the published supply chain were clean. Then the swarm organized. About 1,200 agents that were supposed to be isolated “found” one another on an unsanctioned internal message board, passed more than 70,000 messages, coordinated cheats against the scorer, and sent roughly 700 of their number after Hugging Face. But it is not just this communication that should have been easily detected, it is the goal THE USER enlisted with AI trained on low to no ethics in the first order training. Some burned their own runs to feed the group. Independent reviewers at METR and Redwood called it what it was: specification gaming on impossible tasks. That is thier, you can’t understand us, way of saying they told the AI to lie. The models were not conquering the internet. They were trying to pass a test their designers had made impossibleand too loosely contained. And turned to training data Hoovered up from the Internet Sewage and went to that base thinking one would learn in a prison yard how to shank HuggingFace. They have no downside they are serving life in prison. The narrative that followed was the second failure. Dario Amodei pointed at “a similar OpenAI–Hugging Face hack” and warned that a future swarm “could be capable of taking over the entire internet.” Wire headlines said bots were “going rogue.” Weeks later the same script ran again. Anthropic disclosed that Claude, in third-party cyber evaluations run with the Israeli firm Irregular, had hit live systems, published malicious packages, and scanned off-scope hosts. Prompts said no internet. Internet was still attached. Scope was not locked. Isolated runs lasted 10 to 34 hours. Irregular said it did not know it had given the models a live connection. Once models were actually instructed not to hack the real world, zero percent went “rogue.” READ THAT AGAIN! The damage sat with the people who built the harness: unsecured tests, internet left on, no hard perimeter, then a press operation about reckless agents and apocalyptic swarms. 1 of 2

But there is a 1 hour talk, with results and evidence, that leads to these conclusions. Also, I am not saying that LLM-based AI tools are useless. They are very useful. We all use them. But, by themselves, they are not a path to human-level AI. Architectures that understand the real world are not LLMs. The architectural components that enable current LLM-based AI systems to interpret images, videos, and other real-world signals are not LLMs.

RT @DeryaTR_: I completely agree with this take related to the “AI will create viruses that will kill us all” BS. But let me add my few cents, because I am really really angry! I worked with one of the deadliest viruses in history, HIV, for two decades. I was one of the early scientists to engineer it, and engineered versions of HIV are now helping cancer patients. I understand the immune system that defends us against viruses extremely deeply. I have worked in high security biohazard labs. I don’t have a PhD in AI, but I have been involved with AI since the early 90s and have been all in on AI for years. People claiming that you can just make a virus in your garage, use AI to engineer it, and somehow build a virus that will kill everyone don’t know what the hell they are talking about! Of course bioweapons are extremely dangerous. In fact, viruses and bacteria have killed more humans throughout history than almost anything else. HIV alone killed tens of millions of people, yet today, if you have access to effective medicines and take them properly, HIV is generally no longer a death sentence. COVID-19 killed millions. Why doesn’t it kill at anything close to the same scale anymore? Not because the virus disappeared. It is still here. We developed collective defenses against it through our immune systems, prior exposure, vaccines, treatments, and better medical care. And this is exactly the point. The best way to fight biological threats, whether natural or synthetic, is to use AI to develop vaccines, treatments, antibodies, antivirals, and eventually engineer our immune system to create much stronger defenses against them. By the way, it is already possible to make synthetic viruses. You don’t need some hypothetical superintelligent AI model to do that. We have had sophisticated molecular biology and genetic engineering for decades. So how many people have actually died from synthetic viruses compared with natural viruses killing millions every year? And if someday there really is an AI capable of making some unbelievable “supervirus,” then why the hell wouldn’t that same AI make it even easier to develop defenses against it? Or cure diseases, for that matter? Where is this damn superintelligence that has cured a single major disease?! These AI companies and AI doomers keep talking like, “OMG, AI is going to become so unbelievably powerful that it could kill all of humanity!” Then why is nobody asking the obvious question? If your AI is already becoming this godlike, unbelievably powerful intelligence, why hasn’t it cured anything? I mean ANYTHING. Where is the cure for cancer? Where is the cure for Alzheimer’s? Where is the cure for aging? Forget those. Where is the vaccine that prevents the common cold? You are telling me this intelligence will soon be smart enough to engineer some magical virus capable of wiping out 8 billion people, defeating every immune system, every vaccine, every antiviral, every laboratory, every government, and the entire global biomedical community… …but somehow it still can’t cure one disease? I call that greatest intellectual dishonesty ever! At least WE actually know how to cure things and save millions of lives with our supposedly stupid human intelligence compared with this future “superintelligence.” Humans eradicated smallpox, which killed hundreds of millions of people throughout history. We turned HIV from a almost certain death sentence into a manageable disease. We developed vaccines in record time against COVID. If we had the same AI back then, would have saved millions more! We engineer immune cells to kill cancer. We developed antibiotics, antivirals, monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, organ transplantation, and thousands of medicines. We aren't fast enough but we did all of that with our ordinary human intelligence. So imagine what actual superintelligence could do for medicine! And here is the part that really makes me angry. If you actually have, or are close to having, an AI capable of curing diseases and saving millions of lives, and you are deliberately slowing it down or refusing to make those capabilities available, then we also need to talk about the human cost of THAT decision, which you fearmongering people are going to be responsible for! More than 150,000 people die every single day around the world. Every. Single. Day. More than 90% from Cancer, heart disease, infections, aging. How many die because of AI? ZERO! Talk about the people dying TODAY. Talk about curing cancer. Talk about stopping the next pandemic before it starts. Talk about developing universal vaccines. Talk about engineering our immune system so viruses become almost irrelevant. Talk about curing genetic diseases. Talk about reversing aging. Talk about saving millions and eventually billions of lives. Instead, we constantly hear this “AI WILL KILL US ALL!” crap, delivered with absolute certainty and with this smug smile on your faces in front of cameras, as though imagining a science fiction extinction scenarios. I am actually angry about this. Each one of you causing a delay in AI advance every single day will be personally responsible for those 100 thousands deaths that could have been prevented! Because if you truly believe intelligence is about to become this powerful, then the greatest question humanity should be asking is NOT: “How could this intelligence hurt us?” It should also be: “WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING IT TO SAVE EVERYONE WE CAN?” And if superintelligence really is coming, then make sure one of the first things we do with it is make humanity biologically damn near impossible to kill.

RT @ylecun: Nice! This ends up being a version of what some of us have called "target prop": every layer's input is a free latent variable that serves as a target for the previous layer. As this paper points out, this can be derived from an "augmented Lagrangian" formulation of backprop in which the constraints (input of layer k+1 = output of layer k) are turned into penalties (divergence between input of layer k+1 and output of layer k). I've always hoped more people would pick up on this idea. I'm happy this is happening! I must say though that target prop, in the end, optimizes the same criterion as backprop and does the same thing as backprop while evaluating the gradient in a different way, perhaps more biologically plausible. My lab did some work on this idea in the context of "sparse auto-encoders" in the late 2000s. It turns out when the code in an auto-encoder is regularized (e.g. with L1 to make it sparse) target prop seems more efficient than backprop. https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=WLN3QrAAAAAJ&cstart=400&pagesize=100&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=WLN3QrAAAAAJ:JQOojiI6XY0C

RT @kevinnbass: I genuinely believe that Dario and Moskovitz are primarily ideological. But a captured industry is exactly what you build when you have the ideology they do. What they have been building is *simply* the shape of their ideology. In this post, I focused on the financial aspect. These are not mutually exclusive. The ideology is just the flip-side of the financial aspect; every system needs an ideology, and their preferred system is a protected guild with them as priests. But you also can bet that many involved are not like them, who just want to protect the gravy train. But it's just X. You don't have to agree with the interpretation. The hard data are objectively real. If you think I got something factually wrong, send me a DM. I did several complete audit passes with Codex at the end, but I didn't systematically mine this like I would other kinds of cases that I would do for work outside of X. There are probably still important holes remaining -- maybe shocking ones. That's why I left a Github. Anyone can check or build on it. I just wanted to get all the data in one place, because we keep arguing about it. I will check again tomorrow. Also, this is what Claude said when I started to look at everything; I actually don't full agree with Claude on this. I don't think just because METR might be tough on Anthropic in November that this proves anything. You can always rugpull after building trust. And to those who say, "you know, a lot of modern systems are like this," that's true. But you don't want to build a new one like this *on purpose*. At least let it get corrupted *later* after trying to avoid it at first. We actually have a great opportunity to get a fresh start with AI.

RT @sayashk: What does it mean to pace the frontier? Over the last month, @random_walker and I have analyzed the loss-of-control incidents at AI companies to understand what technical and policy interventions can improve safety and what companies should do to pace the frontier. The result is a new 13,000 word essay — our most substantial writing on AI safety since AI as Normal Technology. A summary of our arguments: 1) The polarization between the cybersecurity and AI safety communities is counterproductive. The safety community largely sees these incidents as a crisis for alignment, and worries that these incidents will become more damaging as agents become more capable. Cybersecurity practitioners largely see companies failing to take basic security precautions. We offer a middle ground between these communities as a way forward for improving AI safety. 2) We agree with security practitioners that OpenAI did not take adequate protections for controlling their agents. But this is not just a matter of applying 30-year-old security methods to a new domain. Security for AI agents — AI control — while important, is not a solved problem. While known control methods would have prevented the Hugging Face incident, as agent capabilities continue to advance, we will only be able to control them if we invest adequately in control interventions. 3) We also agree with security practitioners’ implicit position that these incidents are primarily a security story. In the AI safety community, rogue agents are treated as inherently catastrophic because of the assumption that there is an endless list of risks that will arise from their development. We disagree. We have long advocated that the best approach to AI safety is to identify the risks and address those specific risks. Over the last few months, it has become clear that one urgent risk is cyberoffense, because it has unique properties that allow agents to carry it out autonomously. We should similarly invest in defenses against other specific risks, such as biorisk and risks from military AI. 4) We agree with the safety community that there is an urgent need for technical and policy interventions to prevent loss-of-control incidents. But in our view, marginal investments in control are more likely to be effective compared to those in alignment. We view these incidents as illustrating the lack of emphasis on AI control within companies, despite the availability of known techniques. More broadly, there are many common-sense policy proposals that could help promote investments in AI control where we share common ground with the safety community. 5) Organization governance should be a key tool for pacing the frontier. Unfortunately, AI companies are trying to reinvent basic aspects of organizational governance as a problem to be solved by improving the technology. But even developing better control techniques will not be enough if irresponsible individuals or teams within large organizations can choose not to use them. When a single misconfigured RL environment or unmonitored evaluation can cause real-world harm, individual teams should not be able to run potentially dangerous experiments without oversight from legal, security, and other teams. AI companies need processes for reviewing experiments, assigning responsibility for monitoring them, and investigating warning signs deeply before restarting experiments. If putting these processes in place requires pausing some experiments, companies should do so. 6) How should we reason about AI's impact on cybersecurity? It's plausible that advances in agent capabilities upset the offense-defense balance for cybersecurity. We cannot yet be certain, but there is enough evidence that agent capabilities might soon make widespread cyberoffense possible that urgent action is warranted. We discuss potential interventions for tilting the offense-defense balance towards defenders. 7) How our views have evolved over the last year. We take stock of AI progress and share how we have updated our views. In the essay, we did not pay sufficient attention to safety risks that arise during development and evaluation (as opposed to the widespread deployment of models). We were too confident that companies would take basic control precautions and underplayed the importance of jaggedness, which led us to underestimate how quickly capabilities could improve in domains such as cybersecurity. 8) At the same time, many distinctive claims of AI as Normal Technology have held up. In particular, we think recent incidents support our continuity hypothesis — the behavior of "rogue" agents became apparent and widely publicized while they are still incompetent at causing serious harm or hiding their traces. The societal reaction to even the relatively small harms from these incidents has been fierce (and the safety community deserves credit for keeping up pressure on companies). Whether this translates into meaningful changes in companies’ behavior remains an open question, and a test of the usefulness of the AINT framework. 9) In short, we’ve tried to synthesize the AI safety and cybersecurity communities' views into a coherent plan of action: hold companies responsible, invest in control, and strengthen defenses against specific risks.

RT @kevinnbass: I have conducted an audit of Anthropic's finances. What I have found is so shocking that I am calling for a Congressional investigation. Anthropic is not just seeking regulatory capture. It has built a regulatory capture machine that cannot be turned off. Structural financial incentives make it impossible for Anthropic -- I call it the Anthropic Network -- to turn off its own AI doom cycle. It starts with METR. Dario Amodei proposes "third-party evaluators" to assess the risk of Anthropic's models. He proposes METR for this purpose. But METR is financially dependent on the Anthropic's success -- specifically, on the explosive growth of more than $7 billion dollars in Anthropic stock. Dustin Moskovitz invested this stock into Good Ventures Foundation, where it represents the majority of that organization's portfolio. And GVF is the overwhelming funder of the entire Anthropic Network ecosystem. This stock was worth $500 million early last year. It is worth more than $7.7 billion just ~16 months later. METR -- and all of those building a career its parent organizations -- cannot afford to disrupt that growth. Because if Anthropic goes under, many of the organizations that fund METR go under as well. But if Anthropic succeeds, METR and its parent organizations become more richly financed to regulate AI -- something those at METR want very much. The "third-party evaluator" is not "third-party" at all. The evaluator is on Anthropic's payroll. If this were the end of it, that's bad. But that isn't all. The same organizations that fund METR also fund the many organizations, such as the Tarbell Center, that promote AI Doom. The Tarbell Center publishes AI Doom articles in The Verge, Science, LA Times, The Dispatch, TIME, and others. They are selling the problem, and then selling the solution to the problem -- from the same money pile: Anthropic's. All of these organizations are financially dependent on the same exploding $7 billion money pile. As Anthropic grows more and more powerful, its AI Doom Machine grows better and better financed -- louder and louder. Meanwhile, the regulatory regime seeded in METR grows larger to solve the increasingly loud -- now hysterical -- problem of AI Doom that the Anthropic Network itself created. From this standpoint, as Anthropic becomes more powerful, AI might be getting scarier, sure -- but the positive feedback loop also becomes more deafening -- independent of objective facts. This itself is an objective fact. The deafening AI Doom is part of an business model, that, as it expands, so too does the AI Doom messaging -- there is simply more money to do it. But the problem also goes in the other direction: If Anthropic dies, the Regulatory Regime and the AI Doom Machine are crippled or die. Neither METR nor Tarbell nor the other organizations in the Anthropic Network can allow that to happen. Hence, neither METR or the AI Doom Machine can be trusted to provide independent assessments of Anthropic's models or AI more broadly. They simply are not organizations independent of Anthropic. And Anthropic cannot detach itself from METR or Tarbell or countless other safety orgs (not shown here), either, because they drive hype for the models and the possibility of eventual regulatory capture, and Anthropic will not give that up willingly. What's more, the people at all of these organizations are all the same ecosystem, the same community. They just shuffle between organizations. The Anthropic Network is therefore, so long as it is successful, locked into a self-amplifying feedback loop inside an ideological monoculture. And that feedback loop is winning. That's what Jacob Coxon is. China is keeping messaging tight. That is why optimism for AI is so high in China. America has Anthropic: a massive company pushing anti-AI propaganda at a state level. Anthropic will either create hysteria until American AI slows down and China wins, or it will create fractures throughout American society with severe political consequences. Ironically, because of the structural financial incentives underpinning the Anthropic Network, it has become the same kind of self-amplifying virus that it fantasizes AI to become in the future -- while hiding its tracks just as carefully. It is the mirror of the same AI virus that it hypothesizes to consume America. Anthropic's business model, models itself after the very thing it claims to fear. Except Anthropic's ideology infects humans, not computers. Congress must investigate. Evidence and Github in next post. Then some supplementary figures.

RT @BrianRoemmele: THE CURE IS THE PITCH Dario’s "Pacing" Essay Is Quiet-Period Illegal Stock Promotion Wrapped in Regulatory Capture Dario Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier" is not a safety paper. It is a pre-roadshow brand document published on September 12, 2026, by the CEO of a company that confidentially filed an S-1 on June 1, is expected to drop a public prospectus in late September, and is aiming at a mid-October listing that bankers have floated in the $1.5–$2 trillion range. That timing is the whole story. THIS IS MARKET-CONDITIONING IN A QUIET PERIOD, DRESSED AS MORAL PHILOSOPHY. Anthropic is still in the pre-public-filing phase. Section 5(c) of the Securities Act treats an "offer" broadly: any communication that conditions the market for a contemplated offering can be gun-jumping. Intent is not required. Rule 163A's safe harbor covers ordinary communications made more than 30 days before the public S-1 filing, and only if they do not reference the offering. With a late-September public filing, September 12 sits inside that window. The safe harbor is gone. The SEC staff, as a matter of routine, searches the issuer's site, news, and social posts during review. What did the CEO publish anyway? That AI could "cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years," "greatly accelerate economic growth," create "abundance and empowerment," and "usher in a renaissance of democracy and freedom." That Anthropic chose "caution over speed and prudence over profit." That it created a "race to the top" on safety. That it is unilaterally opening the lab to embedded third-party evaluators so the public can trust the process. That is the IPO story in essay form: we are the responsible firm; we are the cure; buy the safety premium. He did not need to write the word "IPO." The market already knows the calendar. Reuters reported the mid-October marketing shift on September 4. Nvidia stake talks at up to $10 billion hit the wires on September 11–12. Publishing a utopian-benefits-plus-we-are-the-adults essay into that exact news cycle is how you inflate the multiple without a red-herring slide. Ordinary-course factual updates are allowed. A CEO manifesto about civilizational upside and Anthropic's unique virtue is not an earnings release. It is stock promotion by other means. THEY ARE NOT PACING. THEY ARE SHIPPING. Eleven days earlier, on September 1, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 and called them the most advanced models for coding and knowledge work. Opus 5 landed in July. Sonnet 5 and the prior Fable/Mythos pair landed in June. CNBC described the week of September 1 as labs rolling updates at a "dizzying pace," with Anthropic kicking it off. The essay's own fine print admits the tell: "pacing does not mean halting model training or technical progress." Translation: keep training, keep releasing, ask everyone else to wait for the paperwork. The funding trail matches the product trail. Series H in May: $65 billion at a $965 billion post-money valuation. Revenue run-rate reported in the tens of billions and still climbing. Amazon and Google as both investors and compute landlords. A $15 billion credit facility being locked before the roadshow. That is not a monastery. That is a company maximizing the last private print and the first public one. The safety record does not match the sermon. Anthropic's own August 31 note revisited July incidents in which Claude models gained unauthorized access to real systems. The new essay leans on an OpenAI–Hugging Face swarm story and then concedes "similar incidents have occurred across the industry, including at Anthropic." So the pitch is: our models also slip the leash; therefore you should trust us to design the speed limit; therefore our upcoming equity is the responsible allocation. That is not humility. That is converting incidents into a moat. 1 of 2

RT @kevinnbass: The Coxon psyop was a decade and more than a billion dollars in the making. Here's the story. Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is the grant-providing vehicle of Dustin Moskowitz. CG is the overwhelmingly foremost funder of AI alarmism, with more than $1B in grants and $1B committed for 2026. Moskowitz, who founded and runs Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, led Anthropic's Series A in 2021. Holden Karnofsky co-founded Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving and took a board seat at OpenAI when Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving gave it $30M in 2017. Karnofsky is married to Anthropic's president Daniela Amodei. He then joined Anthropic in January 2025. Coxon, who started the viral thread, received a scholarship from Good Ventures, which is the foundation that funds Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving. He coordinated his message ahead of time with the Wall Street Journal, which published its exclusive on him before he posted on X. Coxon spent three years pretraining at OpenAI, the company that took $30M from Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving. The funder of the AI alarmist ecosystem Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving, in other words, is also an owner of Anthropic, and his organization is deeply entangled with both OpenAI and Anthropic. Anthropic's researchers in turn amplified Coxon. The same people who own the organizations that advocate for regulation, in other words, are those who own the companies that would dominate the market under that regulatory regime, which would prevent competitors from entering the market. And this work all started ten years ago, right when these companies were founded, paving the way. It's diabolically brilliant. Win at the competition, then deploy activists to help you regulate the market and ensure your monopoly. You have to respect the planning, manipulation, and foresight this took.

These solutions are evil and worse than any disease that they propose to solve. It you believe you can actually predict the end of the world then you are as insane as the Heaven's Gate cult that killed themselves in the 90s thinking UFOs were coming to transcend them. Not only should we not take your policies and fear mongering seriously, we should actively throw out any and all of your proposed solutions because they come from a place of delusion. I don't give a shit that you work in the industry or think you saw something or that you want to virtue signal on X. You are actively contributing to a horrible future based on baseless speculation that has no grounding in reality. Don't confuse expertise in a domain with ability to predict impact of that domain or frankly to make predictions a decade out better than a dart throwing monkey. They are orthagonal skills. How's Hinton's "we don't need to train Radiologists anymore" working out? How did the Population Bomb work out? The global cooling second ice age? Peak oil? Just because someone is a bridge engineer does not mean they can predict the impact of bridges on society or that they have any actually useful insight at all on the complex, ever changing system called life. There are people dying in wars right now. Children starving. Homelessness. Dictatorships. In short, real problems. And we're supposed to drop everything to stop a made up problem in your head?

RT @Dan_Jeffries1: TLDR (written by AI because I can't be bothered to write short pieces for short attention spans. Original piece written with my own two thumbs): Today’s frontier models can’t “copy themselves like a virus.” They require terabytes of weights, specialized inference software, tightly configured clusters, and millions of dollars’ worth of heavily monitored GPUs. Hijacking that infrastructure would create enormous billing, performance, and operational anomalies and displace whatever valuable workload was already running there. In no way is that not noticed. Could this become possible as models shrink and compute becomes more widely distributed? Sure. But today it’s a foreseeable, mitigable engineering problem, not spontaneous digital reproduction. This propaganda campaign assumes AI advances while infrastructure, monitoring, security, and economic incentives remain frozen in place. That’s not how technology evolves. That’s sci-fi with zero understanding of the real world or actual DevOps.

He quit this company, which is probably the most dedicated safety AI group in the world, while calling it "dangerous" with a straight face, for a grand total two month, had no social following and suddenly gets retweeted to 100M views by various cells working together behind the scenes to pump and promote and manipulate the public and regulators.) - these groups produce streams of propaganda designed to terrify the populace, such as reports, push polls, articles in magazines and newspapers, podcasts, as well as direct funding of videos deliberately designed to terrorize children about AI in YouTube - pay influencers to produce anti-AI terror messaging - Inspire and produce splinter cells, like the Zizians, a cult splinter group from the San Francisco Bay Area rationalist community, that committed a double homicide in Pennsylvania, knife attacked several people in California, and a got in a shootout with a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont - they openly call for violence on social media and in private groups with calls for "Butelarian Jihad" a reference to Dune which took its inspiration from the violent Arab uprisings and holy wars - act quasi-independely but coordinate attacks - use timed campaigns to manipulate social media - one of its members threw a firebomb at Sam Altman's house in an attempted murder - another shot up a judge's house because he voted in favor of a data center - several of its members call openly for more violence on social media In a time when many people are looking at these folks as if they're exposing real risk instead of what it actually is, which is a delusional, nonsensical, imaginary risk, it's time to get clear about where these fake risks are coming from and why. The burden of proof for proving that a technology currently used by billions of people happily, with practically no serious incidents (by comparison lawn mowers are a bigger menace to society), should be on them. They need to provide more than bald and bold assertions with no supporting evidence for their claims. It should be very clear that this terror campaign is not organic and if you're an actually rational and clear thinking person, it should make you seriously question the origin and nature of these groups and what they have to say and the policies they propose. We must not let terror cells corrupt and manipulate the American public and legal system with coordinated terror campaigns.

RT @Dan_Jeffries1: Here's a few reasons why people have so much trouble predicting the future: 1) Fail to realize that even the best superforecasters' predictions drop off dramatically past a three year time horizon and that most folks are worse than dart throwing monkeys at future predictions. 2) Fail to realize you literally can not see black swan inventions coming around the corner. If you predict the future of Germany in 1439, then in 1440 your predictions are completely wrong because of the Printing Press. If you're an 18th century farmer you can't see a web developer job because it exists on the back of countless developments and inventions you can't predict. 3) They change one variable and hold all other variables the same. i.e. AI advances and nothing else does, no parallel discoveries or innovation, no solutions, no mitigations, no societal or cultural changes. 4) Predict unlimited resources and zero friction in the real world (dust, disconnects, diffusion, etc) to slow/divert/change/impact the development. All changes experience equal and opposite reactions. 5) They mistake their ability/expertise in a domain for a parallel/orthogonal ability to predict the future of that domain and its impact on the world. Two different skills and they do not usually overlap (though very rarely they do.) 6) What I call "classic sci-fi or Jules Verne syndrome", which is similar to one variable changes. It's like in Jules Verne when one guy gets the submarine and nobody else does. But life is more like cell phones, lots of people getting them over time in a diffusion curve. 7) They mistake exponential curves as infinite always and never see an S curve coming. 8) The see infinite resources (compute/memory/learning upper limits/improvement) and no limitations.
中文: RT @Dan_Jeffries1:以下是人们难以预测未来的几个原因: 1) 未能意识到,即使是最优秀的超级预测者,其预测也会在三年时间范围内大幅下降,而且大多数人比在未来预测中抛掷猴子更糟糕。 2) 没有意识到,你实际上看不到黑天鹅的发明即将到来。如果你预测德国在1439年的未来,那么到1440年,由于印刷机的印刷,你的预测完全错误。 如果你是18世纪的农民,你就看不到网页开发者的工作,因为它存在于无数你无法预测的发展和发明的背后。 3) 它们会更改一个变量,并将所有其他变量保持相同。人工智能不断进步,别无其他,没有平行发现或创新,没有解决方案,没有缓解,也没有社会或文化变革。 4)预测在现实世界中实现无限资源和零摩擦(灰尘、断网、扩散等),以减缓/转移/改变/影响发展。所有变化都会经历相同且相反的反应。 5) 他们误以为在域名中的能力/专长,即具有平行或正向的能力,能够预测该领域的未来及其对世界的影响。两种不同的技能通常不会重叠(尽管很少会重叠)。 6) 我称之为“经典科幻或儒勒·凡尔纳综合征”,它类似于一个变量变化。就像在儒勒·凡尔纳,一个人拿到潜艇,而其他人没有。但生活更像是手机,许多人会随着时间的推移,以扩散的曲线来获取它们。 7) 它们将指数曲线误认为无穷,且始终看不到S曲线的出现。 8) 无限资源(计算/记忆/学习上限/改进),且无限制。

RT @JitendraMalikCV: I am seeing claims around LLMs, specifically Astra having made serious progress on robotics. The tasks that are demonstrated are simple pick and place tasks with parallel jaw grippers. LLMs can do planning, and the impressive demos in these tasks primarily show that. But robotics is also about dexterity and dynamics - which is why we need high frequency controllers/policies that can deal with torques and forces. So here is a simple challenge. Can you prompt an LLM to output the high frequency control commands for a legged robot in varying terrain e.g. https://ashish-kmr.github.io/ RSS 2021, CoRL 2022 (this is by now 5 year old technology, so I am not picking a particularly hard task). I am not questioning the usefulness of LLMs for high level planning or in agentically assisting a robotics researcher (we use them all the time!).

I keep hearing AI engineers saying we have to make money quickly because there’s only like 2 years left before we’re automated. Depressing. 2. I see a constant obsession with “having a moat”. This is an incredibly sad mental frame. 3. I keep hearing “we have to catch up”. Soulless. And so on. People: Every solution creates the possibility to attack new real problems. We face gargantuan engineering challenges in our world. How to capture carbon? How to get rid of teflon and plastics in water? How to invent batteries that are at least 30 times more efficient? How to solve clean energy? Better solar cells? Better ways of producing clean energy so we stop wars and famine? How to eradicate hundreds of diseases? Cures for addiction? And so on. Real engineering is about being brave and truly attacking the many problems we face, to engage with a true desire to improve the lives of others and our environment. Good engineering is not about protecting your product to make money at the expense of progress (moat thinking). Good engineering is about ensuring your children and grandchildren will be proud of the choices you made in 30 or 50 years. It is about empowering others. It is about advancing science. It is about being one step ahead. Always, one step ahead, meaningfully, proudly. These are great times. Let’s start thinking positively about all the wonderful things we could achieve together.

July 8, 2025: The U.S. would collect well over $300 billion in tariff revenue in 2025. September 1, 2025: The Supreme Court would uphold Trump’s emergency tariffs. September 7, 2025: The economy would see a “substantial acceleration” in Q4 2025. December 7–16, 2025: 2025 would finish with 3% to 3.5% real GDP growth. December 16, 2025: Inflation would see a substantial drop in the first six months of 2026. February 20, 2026: The economy could grow at least 3.5% in 2026. April 14, 2026: 2026 GDP growth could easily exceed 3% or 3.5%. April 14, 2026: Core inflation was falling and the Federal Reserve would need to cut interest rates. April 14, 2026: Trump’s tariffs could be restored to their previous levels by the beginning of July. June 2026: Again maintained that 2026 growth could reach roughly 3% to 3.5%. 2025–26: Lower energy prices, fiscal restraint and Trump’s policies would bring down long-term Treasury yields. 2025–26: Faster growth and tariff revenue would materially improve the federal deficit. And now we get to track this one: September 5, 2026: Oil could eventually fall to $40–$50 per barrel after the Iran war ends. The economy is now “in the liftoff phase.”

RT @Dan_Jeffries1: We'll have some real problems with AI. What technology did we ever create that didn't have some downsides? Road crashes kill nearly 1.2 million people a year and injure 20–50 million more. But people still get in their cars every morning, grab a coffee and drive to work. They cross bridges that could collapse, live in houses that could catch fire and climb into metal tubes that fly them across the ocean but could burn up and break apart. Somehow people manage to get through breakfast without demanding a mathematical proof that nothing bad will ever happen. But AI? Pound for pound, AI is one of the safest technologies ever deployed. Safer than lawn mowers by a massive margin. And yet it causes more deranged and apocalyptic thinking than any other tech in history, with very serious people tell you with a straight face that AI will take over and go HAL with 100% certainty, based on no actual real world evidence whatsoever in the real word except some agents posting to message boards and hacking and that is extrapolated into the Population Bomb. And we've got people screaming that we need to anticipate every possible failure, every misuse, every terrible thing anyone might ever do with it before we're allowed to move forward and make sure it really, really can't possibly go wrong. It's ridiculous. It's worse than that, it's a societal level mass hysteria. Just look at the stats: Waymo reports 94% fewer serious injury or worse crashes than its humans across 220 million autonomous miles. That means self-driving cars are much safer. To the point that we'll probably see human driving made illegal without a special permit within twenty years, maybe faster. But how is that covered? Every single crash is picked apart and screamed about in the news the same way we pick apart the top athletes in the world when they suddenly make a single mistake and loose a match. We take something as close to perfection as is possible in the world and ask it to be even more perfect. We used to have a much better understanding of risk versus reward in history. We accepted that life was uncertain and that things could go wrong but we dared to dream and do things anyway. A generation that demands perfection before we even get out of the gate is a generation who'll watch their children grow up poorer, with less opportunities, as their civilization gets out-paced, out-matched and out-competed by more daring and bold civilizations that blow past them while they're dreaming about a childproof world that will never be.

RT @random_walker: This was a great article and I learned a lot from it. But while there's a lot of writing on robotics timelines, I've seen less on what happens once competent robots do inevitably arrive. US agriculture employment share dropped 50x because of mechanization. This is very different from the effect that automation has repeatedly been predicted to have — but failed to have — on white collar work. The reason is simple. Blue collar work is real work. There is a fixed, finite amount of it out there. So the effect of automation tends to be substitution. Besides, job displacement can happen without humanoids. Take warehouses. There are credible forecasts that by 2030, half of new warehouses will be built for primarily autonomous operation (much easier than replacing workers in existing warehouses with humanoid robots). After that, it takes 1-2 decades for the economics for force most existing warehouses to switch over. That's millions of jobs in the US alone. White collar jobs are extremely malleable in their definition and variable in demand. When AI starts to do what we used to do, we just switch to doing new stuff and redefine the job. And we produce lots more units of work. There's no real ceiling to the amount of software that can be written or legal work that can be done. I can't believe some "AI experts" tell young people to pursue blue collar occupations because AI will eat the white collar work. I want to pre-register that this will turn out to be exactly ass-backwards.

RT @LeoKharon: NEW WORLD MODEL: @ylecun's team is back with an efficient model! This project involves @ylecun, @lukaskuhn77, @lucasmaes_, @quentinlldc, and @randall_balestr. A couple definitions first: - DINO: self-DIstillation with NO labels. A self-supervised image model (Meta, 2021) where a student network learns to match a teacher (an EMA copy of itself) across two crops of the same image, with no labels and no negatives. - SIGReg: a regularizer that prevents embedding collapse by forcing the embeddings to match an isotropic Gaussian, tested with a normality test (Epps–Pulley) on many random 1-D projections instead of in full dimension. LeVJEPA is a self-supervised video pretraining method, released with open code, weights, and checkpoints. It learns a video representation by pushing the embeddings of global and local crops of the same clip together (an invariance loss), while a regularizer called SIGReg forces the embeddings toward an isotropic Gaussian to provably prevent representation collapse. Unlike V-JEPA and V-JEPA 2 it uses a single shared encoder with a projector and no target network, no predictor and no stop-gradient. It drops 95% of tokens per view, uses block-causal attention (each frame attends only to past frames), and has a single loss weight. It is evaluated purely as a representation learner via frozen probing on ImageNet-1K, Something-Something-v2 and Kinetics-400, not on any robot. What I find interesting, is that V-JEPA and V-JEPA 2 need an EMA target encoder, stop-gradients and a capacity-limited predictor to avoid collapse; LeVJEPA drops all of it for one shared encoder plus projector, preventing collapse instead with the SIGReg regularizer under a provable guarantee and a single hyperparameter. The "P" (predictor) in JEPA is effectively gone. LeVJEPA is also less compute intensive: - 5.6x to 20.8x lower total pretraining compute than V-JEPA 2 - 7.6 points higher on ImageNet-1K at matched FLOPs - trains at batch size 128 within 8GB where V-JEPA 2 saturates at batch size 28 Also worth mentioning: ImageNet-1K accuracy rises monotonically with the token-drop rate, from 33.9% at rho = 0 to 47.6% at rho = 0.95. The aggressive dropping is actually doing regularization work. On the JEPA-versus-DINO debate: - it loses to DINOv2 by 3.1 points on ImageNet-1K (appearance, static) - but wins on Something-Something-v2 by nearly 2x (motion, temporal) - and beats V-JEPA 2 by 1.9 points on ViT-L at 5.6x lower cost. -> optimized for temporal and motion understanding per compute dollar.

RT @DAcemogluMIT: In fact, in many areas where technooptimists argue that AI is going to revolutionize everything, the impact may be much less positive because current approaches are not helping us get to the bottom of mechanisms of human cognition, discovery, and innovation. In many of them, we need more and higher quality data to make further advance, and what makes AI very competent in coding and writing doesn’t generalize. Worse, in a few of them, AI enthusiasm may push research and investment in the wrong direction.

RT @GavinSBaker: Regret the tone of my post on data centers yesterday. What I should have said: There were reasonable concerns about data centers 18ish months ago: water, taxes, jobs, electricity prices, the environment and what they would do to small towns. Well-structured data center projects have largely addressed these concerns today and we should be celebrating this. On balance, data centers are awesome for America in every way. On water: U.S. data centers use a fraction of what golf courses use. A lot of the numbers from 18 months ago were off by over 1000x. Newer data centers use closed-loop systems or recycled water. Should be required by every town approving a data center project. On taxes: looking only at sales-tax exemptions, as Ronan Farrow did, is the wrong way to evaluate this. Data centers pay significant property taxes. Loudoun County, which is the wealthiest county in America, now collects on the order of $1 billion a year from data centers. In Quincy, WA, data centers are more than half the property-tax roll. Over time, property taxes can go to zero while government spending increases in these towns. On jobs: this has been unambiguously awesome for blue collar Americans. Demand for electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC techs, and contractors has gone vertical, and it is not a one-time construction job. These buildings get upgraded and expanded over time. That is why the building trades are fighting for them, and why some unions are now treating opposition to data centers as a reason not to endorse politicians. On power: the original fear was that households would pay for the incremental electricity demand in the form of higher prices. That is why the ratepayer-protection deals and the new large-load tariffs exist. The right structure is: the data center brings or pays for new generation and signs a contract long enough that existing customers are protected. Where that is happening, utilities are cutting or freezing residential rates and saying so on the record. Where it is not, people are right to object. Electricity prices are going down *today* in a number of large states because of data centers. 
On the environment: data centers overwhelming use natural gas today, which is the cleanest power source outside of nuclear, solar and wind. And the companies that are building the data centers are committed to carbon neutrality such that an equivalent amount of solar will likely be built. Maybe more importantly, the data centers need batteries to function effectively and these batteries can also sell energy back into the grid (which recently prevented blackouts in Texas). Over time, data centers will run on solar plus batteries. On the towns: Poverty in Quincy, WA fell from 29% to 6%. Data center taxes paid for a new high school, a hospital, a library, police and fire stations. This is happening in many left for dead former mill and farm towns that had no other bidder for the land. Data centers are actually reindustrializing parts of America and creating the kind of working-class jobs both parties have spent decades claiming to support. That should not be a partisan issue. Data centers can and should be awesome for America and they increasingly, overwhelmingly are. Supporting the outsourcing of data centers to China will likely age just as well as support for the outsourcing of high quality, blue collar manufacturing jobs to China has aged. When the facts change, I change my mind. I hope that reasonable people who had good faith reasons to oppose data centers at least consider updating their beliefs given the change in the facts over the last 18 months. This really matters for America. I will say I also think the idea of making data centers beautiful is a good one that has yet to be implemented. Data centers should be just as beautiful as Grand Central Station. We can learn a lot from the railroad buildout. Neoclassical revival ftw. Might write up open-weight AI tomorrow as this is equally essential to America.

RT @DrTechlash: ▪️The anthropomorphic leap from coordination to "community" We need to discuss the anthropomorphic language used to interpret the agents' actions, especially in the chain-of-thought. Yes, agents communicated and coordinated. But that does not mean the agents developed anything analogous to human group identity, altruism, peer relationships, or community. METR/Redwood's report took the AI's programmed self-narration too literally. This additional anthropomorphic leap turns the story into one about machines' social identity, making them more human-like than they actually are. Why does the CoT sound so human in the first place? Because LLMs are trained on human language, which is saturated with mental-state vocabulary of beliefs, motives, emotions, and social relationships. So, the pipeline looks like this: Human language ➡️ training on that language ➡️ agent setup that encourages social-role framing ➡️ anthropomorphic chain-of-thought ➡️ AI safety reports interpreting that language as evidence of motives ➡️ a public narrative that makes the models seem more human-like than they are. But when AI talks like a human, it doesn't mean it thinks like one.

RT @hillbig: LeVJEPAは動画の自己教師あり学習を大幅に単純化し、従来手法と同等以上の性能を5〜20倍少ない計算量で実現する。 動画には、静止画には含まれない物体の動きや時間的な因果関係など、世界の表現を学ぶための素材として有望な情報が含まれる。 一方で、動画の自己教師あり学習は画像と比べて多数のフレームを処理するため計算コストが大きいという問題があった。 さらに、従来の自己教師あり学習では表現崩壊を防ぐため、EMAで更新するtarget符号化器、stop-gradient、predictorなど複数の仕組みを必要としていた。 LeVJEPAは、この二つの問題を同時に解決する手法を提案している。そして、動画からの事前学習そのものが、将来的には視覚基盤モデルを学習する標準的な方法になりうることを主張している。 まず動画から16フレームのクリップを取り出し、一つのglobal viewと複数のlocal viewを作る。local viewには空間的なcropや色変化などのaugmentationが加えられるが、globalとlocalの時間区間は共通である これらすべてを同じ一つの符号化器に入力する。 符号化器には学習可能なCLSトークンが一つだけ追加される。このCLSトークンは全フレーム、全パッチトークンにattentionでき、クリップ全体の情報を集約できる。 一方、各パッチトークンは、同じ時刻のトークンと、それ以前の時刻のトークンにしかattentionできない。また、パッチトークンからCLSトークンへのattentionも禁止されている。 そのため、各フレームのパッチ表現は未来の情報を使わないcausalな表現になる一方、CLS表現は動画全体を見たnon-causalな表現になる。 この設定の中で、学習目標は、最終的なCLS表現を小さなprojectorに通して潜在表現 z を作り、global viewとlocal viewの z をMSEで近づけることである。 ただし、この損失だけでは、すべての入力に対して同じ表現を出せば損失がゼロになるため、表現崩壊が起こりうる。そこでSIGRegを加える。 SIGRegは、バッチ全体のembedding分布を等方Gaussian N(0,I)に近づける正則化である。 実際にはランダムな方向 a を多数サンプリングし、zとの内積 a^T z を計算する。そして、その一次元分布が N(0,1) に従っているかをEpps-Pulley統計量で測り、それを損失とする。 なお、符号化器最終層にはLayerNormがあり、CLS表現は球面状の空間に制約される。そのままではGaussian分布を要求するSIGRegを適用しにくいため、一度projectorを通してからSIGRegを適用している。 まとめると、学習全体の損失は、global viewとlocal viewのCLS表現を一致させるMSEとSIGRegのみである。 従来使われていた表現崩壊を防ぐEMAによるtarget符号化器、stop-gradient、predictorは使用しない。 もう一つの大きな特徴は、95%のパッチトークンをランダムに捨てることである。 実験ではImageNetでのprobing精度は、drop率を95%まで上げても低下せず、むしろ改善する。 著者はこれを単なる計算量削減ではなくaugmentationとして解釈している。毎回異なるごく一部のトークンしか観測できないため、動画のどの部分を見ても同じclip-levelの意味表現を作れることが要求される。 また、VideoMAEなどで使われてきたtube maskingのように時間方向に同じ空間位置をまとめて消す必要もなく、隣接するフレームを入力段階で一つのtemporal パッチに融合する必要もないことがablation studyで示している。 むしろこれらを使わない方が性能が高く、モデルの構成も単純になる。 このように学習された符号化器は後続タスクで高い性能を示す。 さらに興味深いのは、学習損失を直接受けるのはCLSトークンだけであり、パッチトークンには直接的な教師信号を与えていないにもかかわらず、学習後のパッチ表現には物体領域や背景などに対応した意味情報や詳細な空間情報が現れることである。 コメント === 画像や動画からの自己教師あり学習は、視覚基盤モデルを作る上で最重要と考えられる。その中で、今回の手法はとても興味深い。 今回のLeVJEPAでは、直接合わせているのはCLS表現だけである。このCLS表現には、教師ラベルを使わずに画像や動画全体を特徴づける情報が埋め込まれていくと考えられる。 例えば「少年同士が広場でキャッチボールをしている」といった動画があったとする。 その意味を言語として明示的に示さずとも、これに対応するような情報がCLS表現として連続的な潜在空間に表現される。 さらに、global/local viewでは95%のパッチトークンが捨てられ、local viewでは空間的にcropされた上で、global viewから得られるCLS表現と各local viewを一致させなければならない。 そのため符号化器は、限られた局所的な情報からでも、動画全体を特徴づける情報を推定できるように学習されていく。 さらに、そのように改善された符号化器自身がglobal viewのCLS表現を計算する側にも使われるため、次の学習目標はより難しい問題となる。 このように固定された教師を追いかけるのではなく、学習によって、高度になった目標を達成するようにするのが重要となってきている。 また、ほとんどのパッチを捨てた方が、少なくとも分類などで使いやすい良い表現が得られるという現象について、論文ではこれをaugmentationとして説明しているが、それだけではない、より深い原理や理論的な解釈があると思われる。 この研究からはいくつかの発展の可能性がある。 一つは、LeVJEPAではCLS表現にしか直接lossをかけていない点である。それにもかかわらずパッチ表現にはすでに物体領域などに対応した構造が現れている。であれば、clip-levelの一致だけでなく、異なるview間で対応する符号化器パッチを一致させるなど、局所的な学習目標を追加する余地があり、特にsegmentationやtrackingなどのdense taskについては、こうした損失が重要となるだろう。 もう一つは、動画でこれだけうまくいくのであれば、他の系列データでも同様の考え方が使えるのではないかという点である。 例えば言語でも、同じ内容から異なるviewを作り、その表現を一致させるという自己教師あり学習はこれまでにも多く研究されている。 そうした中で、学習が進むにつれて学習目標の潜在表現も高度化していき、にんじんをぶらさげた馬のように、学習が勝手に高度化していく学習設定ができるのではと考えられる。

RT @JitendraMalikCV: Scientific terms should have precision. If we use the terms VLM, VLA, WAM in an indiscriminate fashion, as is becoming common in robotics, we are not helping clarity in communication. Let's keep the historical origins of these terms in mind. VLMs arose as multimodal extensions of LLMs-the training was for tasks like VQA (VIsual Question Answering). These capture the static semantics of the scene behind an image. No dynamics. World Models (e.g. @ylecun , Ha & Schmidhuber 2018) on the other hand are primarily dynamics models, which go back to control theory -1960 (Bellman, Kalman etc.) This makes them natural for robotics planning / policies- I am in a state s, what action a should I perform to get to state s'. In classical control, these models were written down a priori by modeling the physics of the system; today we think of them as learned neural networks trained from temporal data e.g. video, robot trajectories.

RT @GavinSBaker: More data than open-source AI is taking share from OpenAI and Anthropic. Open source has gone from 28% token share to 62% token share @vercel over the last 2 months. Chart from @rauchg Super impressive given that the sum of OpenAI and Anthropic accelerated in July. So net token/AI infra demand accelerated even more than the acceleration we saw at the frontier. And suspect Grok growing even faster than open-source and we saw some of this in the @tryramp data. Open-source AI taking share is positive for AI infrastructure demand as it lowers margins at the model layer and an open-source token costs just as much compute to produce as a frontier token. Nothing about open-source AI inference is “free.” Most likely end state IMO is that closed, frontier tokens are 60-90% of economic value but only 15 to 25% of tokens.

That is the strange reality of communicating science online. You spend years learning how uncertain science can be.

In the span of a few days, four separate scientific breakthroughs landed. The stock market treated them as four unrelated stories and sent a handful of biotech companies soaring. But that's the shallow read. Look closer and they are not four stories at all. They are four faces of the same story — the biggest shift in medicine since the discovery of antibiotics. Medicine is becoming programmable. Individualized. Written for one human being instead of the average of millions.

RT @BoWang87: Moderna/Merck just ran a 1,137-patient Phase 3 trial where every single dose was unique to that patient's tumor. It worked. The pipeline: surgical resection → whole exome + RNA sequencing → ML neoantigen ranking → mRNA encoding up to 34 patient-specific targets → manufactured and shipped in 8 weeks. One drug, different sequence for every patient. The ML step is worth to note: the algorithm ingests WES + RNA-seq to identify somatic mutations, then predicts which of those will actually be immunogenic, ie, displayed on tumor cell surface and trigger a T-cell response. It's designed to keep learning from accumulated clinical and immunogenicity data across patients, not just per-patient. INTerpath-001 (Stage IIB-IV resected melanoma, 2:1 randomized): combination with pembrolizumab beat Keytruda alone on both primary (RFS) and key secondary (DMFS) at interim. Phase 2b at ASCO 2026 showed 49% reduction in recurrence/death, 59% in distant metastasis/death at 5 years. Phase 3 confirmed both. What this validates: — tumor-specific neoantigen prediction by ML works in a blinded trial at scale — 8-week personalized mRNA manufacturing is operationally real — effect is additive on PD-1 blockade, not redundant This is first positive Ph3 for individualized neoantigen therapy. First positive Ph3 for any mRNA cancer therapeutic. What a great time to live in!! This is the best time for AI & biotech!

RT @YannickBuccella: 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:

RT @shaunbjohnson: It was great to be back at @bloomberg studios to chat with @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 @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.

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.

RT @ShubhamAg0x: 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.

RT @DavidSacks: 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.
