Today’s Hyperdimensional is written in collaboration with Anton Leicht and focuses on the politics and policy of AI’s effect on the labor market. The candid truth is we know very little concrete facts about this issue, but nonetheless, there are prudent steps we can take now.

Political demand for policy solutions on AI labor disruptions is picking up, and it's outpacing our ability to measure, develop, and test responses.
Today's post with @deanwball lays out how, amid great uncertainty about economic futures, policymakers can bet on human work.

I'm glad Anthropic released Fable/Mythos. It seems bad to have a large gap between internally deployed and externally deployed capabilities.

I am learning to apply a lot of salt to any claims of 'this permanently changed the vibes' or 'now thanks to this one moment I will never [X] again.'

It is so funny how anthropic just willingly forfeited the vibes frontier this week and then on Friday night the trump admin, which hates them, handed it right back to them

perhaps you could just speak clearly: do you support export controls on neural network parameters or not?

Marc Andreesen said that Biden’s requirement that frontier AI developers tell the government about their safety practices was an existential threat to US AI, but he thinks global export controls on US AI models is “based” if they’re against people he hates/missed the series A of

frontier ai models cannot be misused if the frontier ai industry doesn’t exist

if you’re an ai safety person who wants major federal action now, you should want for anthropic to lead in advancing the frontier into dangerous capabilities, because the Trump Admin will now be primed to see whatever anthropic does as “bad” and what other labs do as “good.” If anthropic hits an RSI loop first, it’s much likelier to be viewed by the admin as “weird” and “scary,” whereas if anyone else does it, it will be “normal” and “innovative.”

this might be better than the Sam Altman / Board drama in late 2023 or the supply chain risk designation saga

Just occurred to me that Anthropic employees who are not US persons will not be able to use Fable/Mythos, making this plausibly (and to be clear, accidentally) the first regulation on recursive self-improvement.

If this is true, it is just baffling. An administration whose posture is that we *should* export advanced AI chips to China, which also wants to ban… Britain (and every other non-American on Earth)… from using our best models? I have no words.

I wonder how @pmarca feels about export controls on neural network model weights

I can’t tell if this is lawfare against Anthropic in particular or extreme national-security hawkery. Regardless, it is simply cartoonish.

If implemented as this reporting suggests, Anthropic’s latest models would be subject to export controls to all *non-Americans,* including non-American nationals based in the US. This means you should expect to have to prove your citizenship to use Anthropic models.

Oh whoa, this Anthropic news is insane. The Commerce Department is placing both Mythos 5 and Fable 5 under the guise of US export controls, blocking access outside the US and foreign persons in the US.
