This is the next most important phase of work. Get out of the narrow main line but in a way that aligns with your creative themes

4/ Push past the AI default, even when it looks fine
The interrogation room could've been a crappy table and gray walls like every other interrogation room in every other film.
Instead they pushed for a panopticon. Circular, no orientation, with a structure on top looking down. Then they kit-bashed brutalist chair references in nano banana to fill in the details.
Whatever the default agent gives you is going to look like what it gave the next thousand people who asked.

It’s bullshit that there are willing buyers and willing sellers but owning these companies is just a private club. But also it’s bullshit that there are so many rules around secondary markets and all the mad qualified purchasers probably aren’t the most sympathetic bunch
Anthropic just published a support page that should terrify anyone holding its shares on the secondary market.
"Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by our Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on our books and records."
Void. Not restricted. Not pending review. Void.
That means if you bought Anthropic shares through Forge, Hiive, or any other secondary platform without board approval, you are not a stockholder. You have no stockholder rights. Your transaction is invalid.
It gets worse. Anthropic says it does not permit SPVs to hold its stock. Any transfer to an SPV is void. Investment funds claiming to offer indirect exposure are "most likely relying on mechanisms that attempt to circumvent our transfer restrictions." Forward contracts, tokenized securities, synthetic exposure products, all of it potentially worthless.
Their advice to investors: "Assume that it is invalid."
There is a multi-billion dollar secondary market in Anthropic shares right now. Platforms are pricing the stock at $265-$1,400 per share based on a $380 billion valuation. Real people have put real money into these positions. And Anthropic just told them none of it counts.
This is the purest possible illustration of counterparty risk. You can buy a share of a company and have the company itself declare your ownership void because you bought it through the wrong channel.

2016: how could AI take over the world? We’ll just unplug it
2026: Let’s jack this baby into the espionage simulator 9000 and see what it can do
Come on now, this is just obviously how AI escapes its container and gets enough ambition to colonize the solar system

This is art. It's amazing we're finally here. Really inspiring. More people get to tell stories now
Sincitium is finally here.
We are pleased to present our latest piece: a concept trailer created specifically for the @runwayml Big Pitch Contest. For this project, we wanted to explore a completely different aesthetic from our usual studio style, and this film is the result of that experimentation.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the creative process.
Produced by: Contanimation
Directed by: Javier De La Chica and Guillermo Miranda Art Direction: Javier De La Chica
Editing: Guillermo Miranda
Voices: Juan Rabadán

It's always so interesting the parts of people's lives they want to control, vs the parts they're happy just being told what to do. And by who! or "what". Choosing and surrender are really wrapped up in each other aren't they

you can now control things with your brain. literally.
we're building the most wearable BCI on the planet, with @sabi, backed by @khoslaventures @accel @initialized & @kevinweil.
we collected the world’s largest neural dataset and trained the most capable Brain Foundation Model.
then we invented a new class of biosensors powered by custom ASICs.
type without typing. click without clicking. a cap that lets your brain do the work.
we’re sabi.

This seems like something that's easy to mess up as a user and kind of defeats the purpose. luckily you can fix it easily yourself

When the data is valuable enough, people stop selling it and start making hedge funds.
When bitcoin miners realized how much people were making, they stopped selling hardware and ran it themselves.
When model companies develop a truly great model? Maybe we're about to find out.

“Its really good and crafty but also really aligned” is exactly what you’d write in the novel where the model escapes.

Mythos Preview seems to be the best-aligned model out there on basically every measure we have. But it also likely poses more misalignment risk than any model we’ve used:
Its new capabilities significantly increase the risk from any bad behavior. 🧵
