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.

Many years ago, I gave two presentations on how China builds its industrial and technological ecosystem—one for an Indian audience and one for a Vietnamese audience. Although the content was largely the same and went into many details that were rarely mentioned in other settings, the feedback from the Vietnamese and Indian participants was strikingly different. When I discussed the gaps between Vietnam and China, my Vietnamese friends listened very attentively to my analysis of Vietnam’s weaknesses. They even proactively acknowledged Vietnam’s deficiencies and asked me to analyze more specific issues in greater detail. However, when I compared China and India, many Indian friends became quite argumentative. They tried to compete with or challenge the Chinese perspective on almost every point, to the point where I could barely develop my analysis. As a result, they might have won the debate, but missed a valuable opportunity to have a meaningful exchange. So, I came to know which country would be the real winner for "China 1" many years beforehand.

Dog’s intelligent survival strategy, playing dead until the Pitbull is removed

The fact that individual ability is unrelated to one's racial group is incomprehensible to people who think in collective terms. There is no "racial mean" of ability toward which all individuals of a certain physical appearance will inevitably trend.

Nvidia is buying Groq for two reasons imo.   1) Inference is disaggregating into prefill and decode. SRAM architectures have unique advantages in decode for workloads where performance is primarily a function of memory bandwidth. Rubin CPX, Rubin and the putative “Rubin SRAM” variant derived from Groq should give Nvidia the ability to mix and match chips to create the optimal balance of performance vs. cost for each workload. Rubin CPX is optimized for massive context windows during prefill as a result of super high memory capacity with its relatively low bandwidth GDDR DRAM. Rubin is the workhorse for training and high density, batched inference workloads with its HBM DRAM striking a balance between memory bandwidth and capacity. The Groq-derived "Rubin SRAM" is optimized for ultra-low latency agentic reasoning inference workloads as a result of SRAM’s extremely high memory bandwidth at the cost of lower memory capacity. In the latter case, either CPX or the normal Rubin will likely be used for prefill.   2) It has been clear for a long time that SRAM architectures can hit token per second metrics much higher than GPUs, TPUs or any ASIC that we have yet seen. Extremely low latency per individual user at the expense of throughput per dollar. It was less clear 18 months ago whether end users were willing to pay for this speed (SRAM more expensive per token due to much smaller batch sizes). It is now abundantly clear from Cerebras and Groq’s recent results that users are willing to pay for speed.   Increases my confidence that all ASICs except TPU, AI5 and Trainium will eventually be canceled. Good luck competing with the 3 Rubin variants and multiple associated networking chips. Although it does sound like OpenAI’s ASIC will be surprisingly good (much better than the Meta and Microsoft ASICs).   Let’s see what AMD does. Intel already moving in this direction (they have a prefill optimized SKU and purchased SambaNova, which was the weakest SRAM competitor). Kinda funny that Meta bought Rivos. And Cerebras, where I am biased, is now in a very interesting and highly strategic position as the last (per public knowledge) independent SRAM player that was ahead of Groq on all public benchmarks. Groq’s “many chip” rack architecture, however, was much easier to integrate with Nvidia’s networking stack and perhaps even within a single rack while Cerebras’s WSE almost has to be an independent rack.

Who the fuck are these MAGA clowns to lecture us Europeans about anything? They live in a European ex-colony, under European-written laws, governed by a European-designed political system, speaking a European language, using a European alphabet, practising European concepts of rights, quoting European philosophers, celebrating European holidays, living inside European-mapped borders, with European surnames, and flying a flag based on European heraldic design. Their entire nation is the plastic, theme-park replica of Europe. Instead of spouting bollocks about Europe, they should read a history book...ideally one with words as well as pictures.

A British prodigy joins the high IQ society Mensa at age 2 – its youngest member ever. While most two-year-olds are mastering “A-B-C,” Joseph Harris-Birtill is devouring books, tapping out Morse code, and memorizing the periodic table. At the age of exactly 2 years and 182 days, Joseph has become the youngest person ever accepted into Mensa—the world’s oldest and largest high-IQ society, whose members must score in the top 2 % of the population. His milestones came early and fast: rolling over at five weeks, first words at seven months, reading an entire book aloud by 21 months, and fluent reading for ten minutes straight by age two. He counts past 100 both forwards and backwards and does it in five languages. For context, the average child speaks their first word around one year and doesn’t begin reading until five or six. Joseph’s parents didn’t seek Mensa membership for bragging rights. They did it to find support. Standard education systems are built to help children who are behind; they rarely know what to do with a child who is years ahead. Mensa provides resources, advice, and a community for profoundly gifted kids who are literally one in millions. True prodigies of this caliber are thought to appear in only 1 in 5–10 million births. Yet what truly distinguishes Joseph isn’t just the IQ score—it’s an insatiable curiosity, fueled by parents who nurture it rather than fear it.

What do you suppose they are talking about?

Coward piece of shit, I’ll still finish it. Europe does not build an equivalent of Raptor for the same reason the US does not build ASML lithography machines. They specialise, they dominate their segment and they sell the critical hardware the other guy needs. Europe builds the industrial base that makes all of this possible. You think reusable rockets are the whole space sector. They are not. SpaceX relies on European hardware at every level. The deep ultraviolet lithography on every chip in their avionics is ASML Dutch. The industrial lasers in Starship production are TRUMPF German. The carbon fibre systems are Toray Europe and SGL Carbon. Airbus Defence and Space supplies satellite bus structures used on NASA and US partners’ missions. Thales Alenia Space builds the pressure modules on the ISS, including the ones US astronauts live in. Italy built the Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules. Europe built the ATV resupply craft that the US relied on before Cargo Dragon. ESA and Airbus built the service module for NASA’s Orion spacecraft. Without that service module, the capsule does not fly. And while you screech about cutting edge, Europe is already building its own reusable tech. ArianeGroup has the Prometheus methane engine, designed to be ten times cheaper than current engines. There is the Themis reusable stage demonstrator. There is ESA’s Callisto program with Japan. There is MaiaSpace, which is literally building a Falcon 9 class reusable launch vehicle. Europe is later to the game, but it is not absent. It is doing what Europe always does: build the mature, industrial, modular systems that keep the entire ecosystem running. You asked where Europe’s space program is. It is in the hardware that American companies need but cannot produce themselves. You laughed at the fact that parts are from Europe because you do not understand what it means to be indispensable. SpaceX can fly without your tweets. It cannot fly without European optics, lasers, materials, metrology or chips. So, what do you build down there in Australia? Ah, you blocked me, piece of shit…

I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.
