Big tech is so out of touch.
People don’t hate ai or innovation, they hate the way it’s being created and used.

You can now proactively verify your identity (with a passport or government ID) in case it’s needed for future frontier model access in Amp.
We think it probably will be, and we want Amp to keep giving you access to the best models available to you.
We can’t guarantee access criteria or timelines. Those depend on (highly uncertain) government and model lab policy. We don’t plan to impose any additional restrictions beyond what is required by law and the model labs.
We are covering the cost for identity verification for all users, and we’re using Stripe for identity verification, so Amp stores nothing and sees only the outcome.

This is a very important video if you’re feeling lost in crypto

AI is only as smart as the data it can see, which is why it's always hungry for your private data.
That directly creates the temptation to build privacy-invading forms of AI.
At this point, the tech space feels like the Wild West. The question is: what happens when we can’t keep it under control?
And more importantly, is crypto(graphy) the only real solution?

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Agreed, I covered this here too. There's a significant difference between getting a high-level security best practice response from Fable compared to having it assist with multi-step exploitation attempts. The fall backs were even more subtle with sub-agents too and myself included falsely believed I had got it working, only to look at the raw logs and see it falling back to 4.8. x.com/theonejvo/status/20646…

Sucky outcome but not untrue.
Muti-turn model forcing, several evasions, context overload, and a verbatim jailbreak by BT6 and @elder_plinius were all going around.
They all illustrated the ability of the model to do simple exploitation, but every demonstration I saw to do actual campaigns or real cyber work eventually would get stopped by the classifier.
Several people swore up and down they were using it only to realize it was Opus 4.8 misrepresenting itself.

It really feels unsustainable to keep writing content for a dumpster fire of a distribution mechanism that's abused by salesman
The internet is becoming less and less for humans

Crypto’s role in AI is so damn big, it is one of the only tools we have to maintain our freedom in the world that’s coming
Gradual disempowerment is very real, we’ve been getting boiled like frogs.

crypto and cypherpunk are more needed than ever to pushback against centralized AI superpower corporates
"not your GPU, not your AI" is as important as "not your keys, not your coins" . . . I will be looking to rapidly get sophisticated on local AI setups . .

Academics write for each other, not for people.
Steven Pinker has spent over four decades doing the opposite, and thinks current academic writing is "enormous wasted effort."
"There's an awful lot of brilliant work, really smart people in academia. Why are they doing it? Just to entertain each other? Taxpayers pay for it. It should be accessible. Why should I have to read a paragraph five or six times?
It gets under my skin when academics devote so much brainpower into the scholarship and then just blow off the essential task of letting the world know what you've done."

Look, i I don’t want to be right, but this feels like a scam.
I think with many layers, from early airdrop delivery (check ethos) to weird price action to now. I fear for the private ID data.
I feel like they may have even scammed investors/partners here, saying let’s rally the price together (classic crypto playbook) so we can sell our tokens higher at unlock - which is imminent.
Only to have a major exploit where the founders tokens are all dumped after this huge rally?
I mean it all just sounds a bit weird. Team unlocks also don’t even start until next week, so this isn’t the ‘foundation members wallet’ it’s the entire projects treasury unless the foundation member bought tokens themselves?
How did this foundation member get so many tokens to be able to affect the price of the chart so much? It’s the treasury then.
Are ‘ai exploits’ the new way for teams to scam? Just say they were hacked?

DCF = smart money
David Hoffman = retail selling bottom
The bmnr story is different than the mstr one
They’re buying the most eth they have this year
And they haven’t issued a strc like product (although they filed for it)
There’s billions in strc, if they can capture the same and buy eth it would be huge
Also unlike mstr, their staked eth earns yield which can be used to pay the dividend without “selling” (optically ofc)
The best bitcoin is ethereum

people are consistently downplaying the importance of decentralisation because they’re only thinking about right *now*
Exponential the dead internet any amount of time, and you need extreme strength in all verification tech. You simply won’t be able to trust centralisation.
just on the last point, centralising resolution is a short term advantage that diminishes as time plays out as a factor for every dynamic at play surrounding validity/ truth/ settlement/ attack vectors/ legality. and succeeding on all the other points compounds against the last
