I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

In 2012 or thereabouts I read about how some original Pacemakers ran on a Plutonium battery. In 2017 the Zeno Power team knocked on 1517’s door. We invested right away. Be the first check not the last

we built a drone that flies without GPS, without a pilot, without any signal tested it in darkness, in GPS-denied zones. it just… works. so here's an open challenge: name an environment you think it can't handle. we'll test the best suggestion on camera.

Never. Give. Up.

This is the future!

Not every mission needs a megawatt. Nuclear batteries will power the next frontier – beginning in 2027.

Tyler and Jonathan were undergrads at Vanderbilt who dusted off some old research that they thought could be commercializable. They wrote into the 1517 contact form about their work. Nick, on our team, drove a couple hours to meet with them. We wrote the first $50K check into Zeno to give them a shot on goal to get started. Now they're powering the frontier. Be the first check, not the last!

In awe of SpaceX and its story - past, present and the future. You can think about it in 10 different ways and continue re-blowing your mind in circles. Huge congrats to the team! 🚀

If you don’t want this moment, then you will never be happy.

You are far more dangerous to your startup than competitors are. A hundred times more startups die from poor execution by their founders than are killed by competitors.

Peter’s eternal optimism is cool

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends: Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

Pessimists sound smart.  Optimists build the world.

Yoooo… if you like any post with $SPCX in it, the heart turns into a starship…🤣🤩🚀 Try it!

Pleased to meet President @alexstubb of Finland on the sidelines of the #KultarantaTalks We exchanged views on the evolving geopolitical situation and underscored the importance of diplomacy in navigating an increasingly uncertain global environment. India and Finland remain committed to advancing our Strategic Partnership in Digitalization and Sustainability, while strengthening coordination in multilateral fora on issues of shared interest. 🇮🇳 🇫🇮

'Lets not pretend some great principle involved here", says EAM Dr S Jaishankar, as he points how US asked India to buy Russian energy, then imposed tariffs, & then revoked them. Terms Russia as a "steady" supplier of energy

India has always had the talent. Now, we scale the infra. Announcing our $28.5Mn Series B investment from @AvataarVC, @peakxvpartners and existing investors. Here's to contributing to the mission of making India a superpower via industrialisation. Make in India, for the world!
