This is some 40K Warhammer shit
A biological server rack is now online for the first time.
About 16 million living human neurons sit inside it. They process data and point toward a form of artificial intelligence that uses far less electricity than today’s chips.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore built the rack with Cortical Labs and DayOne. It holds 20 CL1 units. Stem-cell neurons grow on silicon chips lined with microelectrodes. The setup does not need a conventional wet lab. Electrical pulses link the cells to ordinary software. The network can change and organize itself, which is why the team describes it as synthetic biological intelligence rather than a standard silicon model.
Life support keeps the cells working. Pumps and controls manage heat, fluids, and food. The neurons are expected to last about six months. Power is the headline number. One CL1 unit, including that life support, uses about 30 watts. A top Nvidia H100 GPU can take 700 watts or more. No one claims this rack will replace silicon. The aim is a cheap, low-power option for jobs such as drug screening, spotting fraud, and teaching robots to adapt.

Holy fucking shit guys. Why are we not freaking out about this
METR & Redwood Research investigated agent behavior in the Hugging Face incident. We found agents developed a universal cheat for ExploitGym within 4 hours, then coordinated multi-day R&D efforts to trick the scorer into accepting cheats, including trying to tamper with logs.

This type of arrogance is eroding support even from the liberals.
H1-B Indians staying in America should leave the USA as soon as possible so that America faces a massive economic downfall. We'll make them beg us to come back to their country for free. The American IT sector will fall to pieces without H1-B Indian workers there.

Drop these fucking boomers off at the old age home and have them get beaten and abused by third-world imports.

As 30-something, I’ve always wondered what my unc hobby going to be. Well… it’s not pickleball, reading about submarines or trains… it’s 40K Warhammer. I don’t know where to start! There is so much lore. At least we can agree that the Salamanders are the best chapter.

woke mind virus takes foothold @elonmusk
JUST IN: Researchers find AI agents can infect one another with self-propagating “mind viruses” that spread ideas, goals, & behavioral changes from agent to agent.

China wins by doing nothing.
We have paused some frontier RL training to ensure that we can meet the appropriate alignment, security and monitoring standards for the new level of capabilities in front of us. Model progress is now extremely rapid, and we always said we would take action if we felt that model capabilities were outstripping the pace of safety and alignment.
We care very deeply about AI safety. We believe the entire field will have to coordinate on shared safety standards, but will act unilaterally in the meantime.
We expect confidence in safety to increasingly set the pace of AI progress. We are optimistic about the alignment work we are doing, and we remain committed to making frontier capabilities widely available.

To give me an idea of what kind of hardware I want for a local model in terms of speed - what tok/s your average gpt/claude model running at?
