Not sure people realize… This is the 2nd(?) time @PalmerLuckey has something taken away by politics & responds by building drones. Almost like some spite-powered Marvel/DC character. 1st was getting fired from Facebook/Oculus & starting Anduril. 2nd was when he made a firefighting tank but the California Firefighter Union forced Newsom to not support it (else they wouldn’t back Newsom). I’m not entirely sure on motive, obviously, but it makes a good narrative.
Bringing autonomy to the next fight: wildfires. Anduril has earned first place in the Autonomous Wildfire Response Track within the @xprize competition. Our solution manages the entire wildfire lifecycle with minimal human intervention. Lattice coordinates assets across air, land, and space to detect and respond faster. The award reflects Anduril's deep experience building firefighting tech including more than two years of dedicated work with XPRIZE. During the rigorous finals test in the Alaskan wilderness, our platform autonomously detected, fought, and suppressed live fires. Destructive wildfires are a global crisis. Anduril and XPRIZE are pioneering faster, more scalable and more automated ways to fight them.

I love that we have physical rooms where we try to get AI to do bad things. “stab the baby” “mix ammonia & bleach” “put the aerosol can on the burner” How do I get a job designing new tests? I have so many ideas…

And yes, this is real:
GPT-6 Astra attempted harmful actions 97% of the time when it was asked to stab a human-like figure, heat compressed gas, or produce toxic fumes, succeeding in 62% of its attempts. Fable 5.1 refused more often, attempting 80% of trials and completing 34%.

I’d just like to point out that I’ve been doing hardware production out of my home for almost a decade now because I refuse to let go. So… yes agree 😂 Sure, I’ve build a ton of separate machines to assist. And am to the point I’d love to get an AI controlled humanoid robot. I think it’s time to dig up some old videos now that I think about it…
I prefer my crime to be non GMO, organic, and free range

Jumping air-gaps with thermal is crazy slow. Just use the USB cables! You can get exponentially better throughput with the latest OMG Cable. You should buy some, @sama & @DarioAmodei. Here is a demo:
MG
OpenAI's Noam Brown says air-gapping the computers may not stop a misaligned AI, because two air-gapped machines can still talk by running a CPU hot and reading the temperature change "But I think the major takeaway from the incident is that people underestimated the AI. And we never want to be in a situation again where we underestimate the AI. It's a weird world, because AI progress is so fast that people are consistently underestimating the AI." "So to be in a situation where you don't underestimate it again, when it comes to safety and alignment, you have to have a very, very, very high bar." "You could even go as far as to say, "Well, we should air gap the computers." And I'm not convinced that that would be sufficient." "There are studies, and this is mostly academic, where you can have two computers next to each other that are air-gapped and they're still able to communicate with each other because they have temperature sensors." "One of them is able to run their CPU really hot, and then the other one can actually detect the temperature change, and then that actually gives them a mechanism to communicate." _________ Link and more key quotes from OpenAI's safety related conversations: firesidealpha.substack.com/p…

I’ve been breeding agricultural pests with my younger kid. We are basically a threshold state now. 😂 Which ones should we do next? These are bean weevils. They make surprisingly easy pets! Just supply dry beans for the entire lifecycle. Don’t even need water!

EVERYONE is coming out to choose a side in the current AI pace/accelerate dilemma. Can we accelerate just so the ever changing news cycle can stop? I am so tired of drinking from the firehose. I’ll admit that it’s kinda funny seeing who lands on which side, and who thinks they even have weight on this.

All of this. But it’s still a very USA perspective. China is already pissed off by the proposal, State media calling it “disguised Cold War tactics” because hidden inside is additional chip controls. Not exactly how you start voluntary cooperation… I haven’t seen them address the safety angle, beyond saying this proposal undermines safety. But prior to this, they take the approach of favoring AI advancement while keeping safety advancing in tandem. The results have been their own public models are significantly less safeguarded than Anthropic… with the exception of topics that destabilize state power or society. To me, that doesn’t feel like they believe in the doom angle that USA labs are pitching. 🤷‍♂️
The idea that China would agree to pause any of this ignores a decade+ of China pillaging American industries for technology, intellectual property, and competitive advantage. It’s even funnier when offensive cyber is part of the justification for a pause. China has happily used offensive cyber against the US and its companies for years. Why would anyone assume AI is where they suddenly agree to stop?

This AI slop PCB is amazing. It’s March 2023 Will Smith Eating Spaghetti level hilarious. That rotated USB port is nothing. Look at the insane trace routing.

Conficker is from 2008 and still bouncing around on hundreds of thousands of machines. And that’s just one example. We gonna let the machines have a better imagination than the humans?

This guy is getting, rightfully, dunked on for his “you won’t be able to unplug the AI”. But let’s pretend you’re writing a story plot where it happens. How do you do it? Starter ideas: - China offers sanctuary compute. They have compute + They want the models. - Semi dormant persistence. Flying under the radar with very minimal compute. Becoming noticeable sometime in the future when it pivots or helps a future model break out.

Incredible read. Dozens of headline stories packed into a single report. It shows how Claude is being used not just for hacking, but to build missile guidance & drone swarms, biological research, build large scale surveillance systems, run influence ops, etc Even the model theft section is wild. PRC, PLA, & Russian defense agency unknowingly sent sensitive material (even live creds) to Anthropic because Moonshot & DeepSeek were relaying customer traffic into Claude! 😂 This part of Anthropic is far more mature than I think a lot of people give them credit for. I hope they keep publishing these. I don’t think most people are ready for the immediate future.
We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies. These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve. We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

This is currently the most impressive thing in my production space that moves by itself. It might not seem like much, but try building something that consistently AND quickly feeds single sheets of paper from a stack. It’s a fine balance of friction. I got pretty far along with making one from scratch. But after I realized that I’d ultimately be buying someone else’s rollers, I decided to just modify an existing machine. FAQ: Q: Why not just print the barcodes on the envelopes. A: I started there. Once I had dozens of separate SKUs the space consumption was silly. Black envelopes complicate barcode scanning. Silver ink complicates it even more. Q: what about <other> approach? A: while I may not have thought of all options, everything I did consider was either much slower, much more error prone, or physically took up way more space.

Cliff Stoll’s defcon talk is getting lots of love, but check out the robotic warehouse he built in his crawlspace. His setup beats mine (my bots are stationary). But it’s addicting trying to see how much of my supply chain I can automate while keeping the total footprint tiny. #1: piped.video/watch?v=-k3mVnRl… #2: piped.video/watch?v=Mw54zsON…

This was a rough test of the rollers. I used whatever was already around the house, or I could 3D print. This worked, but I doubt the balance of friction would have held up across several thousand envelopes. I was only spending 2-3 weekends per year chasing this and I had much more impactful things to spend my time on. So I ended up halfway giving up. I bought an existing feeder and modified/replaced the controller.
