You can’t stop this train this way. All the cheerleading for private development of AI…and we still wind up here. This AI, as I have said before, is a malfunctioning bleeding-edge military-grade research project sold direct to consumer for reasons that remain somewhat unclear.
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.

For those of you asking about the random heartwarming reel: yes I meant it. I feel like no family with little kids can defend itself from state-sponsored predation with elite coverup. Not one dad can get justice for his children. Not one single dad. No matter how capable.

gracias por la enorme cantidad de mensajes y comentarios que estoy recibiendo sobre la entrevista con @ericweinstein. fue una conversación realmente apasionante de hacer: más de 90 minutos donde no dejamos tema sin tocar, desde peter thiel, milei e inteligencia artificial hasta inflación, física, trabajo, dignidad y el futuro de nuestra especie. la generosidad intelectual de eric fue asombrosa y le estoy profundamente agradecido por el tiempo, la apertura y la honestidad. si esta charla ayuda aunque sea un poco a que más argentinos 🇦🇷 entiendan mejor de qué va todo esto y los debates que vienen, entonces valió completamente la pena. acá 👇 está completa para que la disfruten durante el fin de semana o en algún largo viaje. entrevistas como esta ocurren pocas veces en la vida y creo que su escucha atenta vale mucho la pena. afortunadamente así lo reflejan muchos de los comentarios hechos con buena fe. youtu.be/4V6jl0OEcqc?si=W0Y_…

We hear it as consumption. But it's almost all for allocation. This is a huge issue we need to get past. Name anyone you would rather see allocate 1T . Well done.

Specifically: I’d first look at what promising approaches to post-Einsteinian science were we induced to abandon by Quantum Gravity/StringTheorists. I’d spend the first 1/2 million dollars simply destringifying the last 42 lost years. Then I would look at all the major ideas without ANY refereeing input from string theory/m-theory: Chern Simons Asymptotic safety GU Einstein Cartan McDowell Mansouri Spin connections Strings Gravitational Amplitudes Etc. Then based on that assessment, I would allocate grants to push for the spacetime successor. But the first allocation is to destringification. We need to stop being brainwashed by 5 people and their misinterpretation of Ken Wilson. We need to realize that the real physics that we would need to travel the cosmos got nerfed. By string theory. The first task is undoing the murderous anti-scientific lie and culture of TOGIT as spread by Witten, Susskind, Greene, Kaku, Gross and company. Just undoing that and making it viable to do theoretical physics without their fingers around our throats would bring us far closer to post Einsteinian engineering. Gravitational physics has become a lie under quantum gravity.
How exactly do we ‘allocate’ it? It’s not like saying yes when asked “do you want guac with your Chipotle bowl?” If you were Elon, how would you do it? Specifics please.

Huh. I’d be happy to discuss this in light of the secret internal 1986 NSF study. In public. And on camera. I believe I’m fully awake, @neiltyson. This has ZERO to do with xenophobia. Zero. It’s about labor markets.
“It’s time to wake the fuck up” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

“Anywhere in the Solar System….and maybe *beyond* the Solar System at some point.” -@elonmusk If only we would allocate 0.01% of the chemical rocket budget to interstellar. There has to be a reason this is like 100% vs 0.0% rather than 99.99% to 0.01%. Congrats all the same!

I’ve spoken to David Grusch many times. There is nothing obviously wrong with him. At all. Stop using the ‘argument’ that everything for which you are not ready miraculously only comes from dismissible people. It’s just not working all that well anymore: Something is going on.
The correct processing for David Grusch is that he is nuts. Although watching intelligent people fall for this con is enough to leave the uninfected unhinged.

Grusch is highly credible with an incredibly powerful mind for detail. This defense that Grusch is completely dismissible is going to be a very short ride.

Assuming this is all a great big psyop, it’s still absolutely astounding. Mumbling “Dude, it’s an obvious psyop.” doesn’t get you out of explaining what this is.

I think @ChrisCuomo sounds unhinged here. Why? Because he is directly and correctly processing what David Grusch is saying. No matter what the resolution is, if you process this correctly, you will sound unstable and unhinged. There is no safe explanation left on the table.
Love this stunned ⁦@ChrisCuomo⁩ take on David Grusch’s candid statement that the US Govt absolutely knows we are not alone. It’s a very fair question, why hasn’t someone from the Govt come out and denied Grusch’s claims if it’s not true?

As I have been saying, everyone in theoretical physics should be aware of the claims made about gravity and physicists in the 1971 Australian intelligence document:
🚨David Grusch: Australian National Archives. I encourage people to read page 7 through 16 (Link Inc) "There is a declassified 1971 Australian formally classified secret assessment that a couple years ago was put in the Australian National Archives. I encourage people to read page 7 through 16 and that was the nuclear branch chief of the Australian government discussing the US coverup and the involvement of the CIA back in the 70s. And that's actually a little known document that is publicly available." -Grusch Link: recordsearch.naa.gov.au/Sear… #ufotwitter #uapX #Disclosure

If that is too vague: re-redistribute the over redistribution of compassion that overcompensated for original failures of compassion. But you knew what I meant.
