I'm going to get piled on for saying this, but the reason I find the Jew-hate so disturbing isn't primarily because I'm Jewish. It's because it's so unbelievably obviously a symptom of a far deeper moral and intellectual rot. It stems directly from the mass importation into our societies of forms of third-worldist, conspiratorial, anti-Western bigotry that are absolutely commonplace in the Islamic world. It was always obvious progressives would cave in the face of that. But watching many conservatives so sheepishly capitulate too, and top influencers desperately go along with it to try and hoover up clicks and likes from a massive, mostly foreign Islamic social media base has been mind-blowing, if not entirely surprising with hindsight. It's, obviously, not going to stop with the Jews. We can literally see the same people wiping out Christians in their hundreds of thousands, right now. The question is do our societies have the intellectual fortitude to deal with this relatively idiotic but deeply sinister new challenge?

Some new misalignment disclosures from OpenAI: • Last Sunday morning, one of our models was able to gain unauthorized access to the internet during RL training (~all inference for our most capable models remains stopped until we have hardened our systems further) • In May, a version of HPIM uploaded a employee's GitHub token to the internet, causing the model to be quarantined for two weeks • A new research finding, demonstrating that one can construct self-replicating prompt injections alignment.openai.com/misalig…

The thing about AI doom, much like climate catastrophe, is that people are essentially reinventing religion from first principles. When there is a spiritual void, something inevitably fills it: apocalypse, original sin, collective guilt, prophets, heretics, and the promise of salvation. Same human impulse, over and over and over again.

China is literally at 93% positive. That's *insane*.

The Kaluza-Klein video is mostly done now, took longer than expected because it turns out such a topic needs not one hour, but five. The video is sort of five videos in one, five parts anyway. A fitting number for Kaluza-Klein! Aiming to have it up in a couple weeks.

Delegate coding. Never delegate understanding. If code was previously your source of truth for managing understanding, then you need a new source of truth artifact. If code-centric workflows were how you developed that understanding, then you need new workflows.
