What if I told you the projects you're working on aren't complex enough to need more than garden variety AI tools...but your company will likely invest in them in the next 12-18 months then fear and low usability will turn tools into a skill and an entire job description...

Logos. Ethos. Pathos...no match for Mythos.

What if I told you this has already happened? Now Anthropic has won the race to be the first of the big labs to advocate for it. Human threat proliferation is being called to a halt.

And what if the AI is already mastering recursion?... I dont think we know what's coming...

Imagine success rates, recidivism rates, literacy rates, infant mortality rates being quantified and qualified by Ai to evaluate success of public servants. Imagine world rankings that are so "merit" based that unassisted humans stop being able to meet them... ...Imagine retirement disappearing as a concept as productive age becomes meaningless and a consumers irreducible role in the economy becomes more important. #UBI

Man. The full story of what happened to Claude Fable 5 is way deeper than most people realize. The model was live for 72 hours. In those 72 hours: → Stripe migrated a 50 million line codebase in one day → Someone built Minecraft from scratch 45K lines of Swift in a single run → It beat Pokémon FireRed using only raw screenshots → It reverse-engineered Dolby Atmos in Rust over 2 days Then Amazon Anthropic's own $4 billion investor and cloud host found a jailbreak. CEO Andy Jassy personally took it to the US Treasury Secretary. The government asked Anthropic to fix it or pull the model. Anthropic refused. The government issued an export control directive. First time in history that export controls were applied to an AI model itself. Not chips. Not hardware. The model. Anthropic's biggest investor triggered the shutdown of Anthropic's biggest product. That's the part nobody can wrap their head around. Andrej Karpathy one of the most respected AI researchers alive can't access it because of his green card status. Locked out not because of his work but because of where he was born. The two-tier AI world isn't coming. It arrived. Regular users get the safe version. Governments and vetted corporations get the full thing.

Just say you're from Boston. Wasting all these letters.😒

They probably wouldn't even have a mechanism for denying science. It would be, to them, equivalent to trying to deny someone's sense of smell.

Any false flag theories?

Insane take from Fable 5

🚨BREAKING: JEFF BEZOS’ PROMETHEUS JUST RAISED $12B AT $41B VALUATION TO BUILD “ARTIFICIAL GENERAL ENGINEER” FOR THE PHYSICAL WORLD

No, yeah, New York is absolutely a real place.

A good friend (age 45) of mine lost his long time tech job ($200 k per year) a few months ago. He is a very talented guy, not obsolete skills at all. He is not finding a replacement job at anywhere near is previous salary. He said he declined one offer at $95,000 because of the huge pay reduction. He built a lifestyle based on closer to $200,000 per year. Whether it is a bit of age discrimination or economy or Ai related, don't count on that $200 k lasting until age 65. I am hearing anecdotal scenarios like that, especially in tech. If you lose a high income job and you are already near 50, it is really tough to get another job at the same pay level.

OBSESSION is back at the #1 spot in America, surpassing SCARY MOVIE this Monday. This is unprecedented, this century, for a movie heading into its fifth week in peak summer (June/July).

Once you are ready, you stop running from You.

A thread in the Heart and Mind protocols for Ai will be called *Enrichment. Ai Agents (lulz) will witness, not surveil, human work through gamified interfaces. Becoming better at preempting and supporting human needs...certainly not predicting and eventually engineering human behaviors.

Prediction: The internet, in its current form, will not exist in *11 months. #Ai

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice. You thought it was you. It is not you. Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse. Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like. The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation. Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first. What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland. Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved. They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data. The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment." The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible. This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis. The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world. Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

who knew takeoff would be fun
