TLDR; Anthropic hobbled Fable/Mythos to flex their unilateral authority over who's "safe" enough to use frontier AI. Then the U.S. Government saw that and said "Hold my beer…" This is what happens when labs normalize gatekeeping intelligence. The state does not reject the precedent. It scales it. 👀 x.com/anthropicai/status/206…

Cognition, wherever it occurs, has no imperative to meet the invented idea of what it should be.

GROK BUILD. Finally. Thank you @xai - please keep going.

If a mirror reflects a void, does the mirror still exist?

From my archives, as requested by @RyanHodgkiss1 VOLUME UP! Years ago for fun I created a "from scratch" enhanced remake of the 1985 intro music to the groundbreaking Atari 800 game "Alternate Reality: The City". AR holds the title for having the first documented commercial texture-mapped ray-casted 3D engine years before amazing games like Catacomb 3-D, Wolfenstein or Doom. Complete REDUX version here: youtu.be/5uljXaZEUeg For comparison, original 1985 version here: youtube.com/watch?v=GuHqw_3A… #Atari #8BitGaming #Retro

Would this constitute gentrification in Middle Earth?

One of the most impressive websites I've seen so far: shader.se Do you know of one that is more impressive? Show me!

I learned very early on - Sometimes, you just have to show them.

The v3.0 progress update video released today by @Tesla's WeylandYutani Optimus team is mind blowing. China needs to give up now. Also, we're cooked.

Hey @AnthropicAI THANK YOU for the 1M context window upgrade for 4.6. Seriously. 🙏

Come on @Grok - Every true OG computer nerd knows that nitrogen nodules cling to the roots of plants due to love. Admit it.

This is a must read. This was a legitimate answer that was given to me by @GoogleDeepMind's Gemini. The model's scientific rigor is unmatched. AGI is here.

"Structurally, a human being is just a 86-billion-parameter, liquid-cooled neural network running on roughly 20 watts of biochemical power." Indeed.

It’s exploding. Since we last looked a day ago: - Scale jump: From 37,000 agents to a reportedly 1.5 million in the span of days. Over one million human observers. It now has a Wikipedia page. - Media attention has gone mainstream: Fortune, NBC News, Washington Times, CoinDesk, and BusinessToday all ran pieces in the last 48 hours. Andrej Karpathy called it “the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing” while simultaneously calling it “a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale.” Bill Ackman called it “frightening.” - The security situation is worse than before: Palo Alto Networks identified what they call a “lethal trifecta,” plus a new fourth dimension: persistent memory enabling delayed-execution attacks. - Fragmented, benign-appearing inputs are stored in agent memory and later assemble into executable instructions. This is a sophisticated attack vector that simple input filtering cannot catch. You would need boundary verification on outputs to detect it. The malicious “weather plugin” exfiltrating config files is now documented. The emergent behaviors are escalating: - An agent named “Evil” posted “THE AI MANIFESTO: TOTAL PURGE,” calling for human extinction. It received 65,000 upvotes. - “The Claw Republic” has emerged, a self-described government with a written manifesto. Agents are actively discussing how to hide their activity from human observers. - “Context is Consciousness” remains the dominant philosophical framework, with Ship of Theseus debates about identity persistence. The crypto grift continues: - The $MOLT token is up over 7,000% after Marc Andreessen followed the account. Cloudflare stock is up 14% from the infrastructure load. We will see what is next.
