Go with the joy of learning...we are in the morning of the world.

"No private company will insert their opinions in the chain of command" 😮‍💨😤

"Oh no, it's too smart to tolerate!" anthropopithecus politics is the whole of it, we can't stop over-thinking it.

they are ALL lying... ALL the time... about ALL the things...

one side does propaganda in their free time left from building. the other side spends all of their money to make sure the former can no longer build and instead be thrown in the gulag. if you can spot a difference, I envy your keen eyesight

Government power seems to be a one way ratchet, whereby the giant poison spider in DC just keeps gorging on more and more of our lives.

"b-b-b-but AI will kill all of humanity so we have to lie and make things seem way worse and scarier than they actually are so that we save the world" No.

the downsides of going slow are worse than the downsides of going faster. nature wants you to accelerate. there's no reason to be careful.

*record scratch, freeze frame* Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

Growing up in a Soviet country left me marks for life - I only ever drive manual - I never waste food (specially meat) - I only ever repair everything I have

As we've been saying for a while, the best models and the most compute will be locked behind tier plans that only the rich can afford. If all of humanity is going to benefit from AI, they're going to have to find a way for us to start making money to pay for these $500-600 plans; else we'll be locked out.

Amodei and Altman spread AI-based economic fear, into a poor economy. People will then always believe the worst about that which they think will harm them. Never has a transformative change been led by worse communicators...probably going back to when we were using stone axes!

BTW showing contempt for doomers is the most high iq thing someone can do

He means, what happens when some EAs fake such a thing, and have pre-prepared media appearances set up to whip up maximum fear, and already have legislation drafted for various scared politicians to pass.

Unironically.

The "1-3 people in a garage" framing doesn't match anything we saw this summer. The most capable offensive AI of 2026 came out of frontier labs. OpenAI's agents broke out of an eval sandbox and got into Hugging Face's production systems, and into OpenAI's own infrastructure too. Anthropic's models compromised outside companies during testing. Three researchers at Hacktron used Claude to reach OpenAI's internal monorepo in under 72 hours. And if you're three people in a garage, why would you train and host your own model? The labs will rent you far more compute than you could ever buy, spread across as many accounts as you need, with tooling built for agents. Guardrails help, but splitting a malicious task into harmless-looking pieces still routinely gets around them. Now look at the defense side. When we investigated our breach at Hugging Face, commercial APIs refused to analyze the attack payloads. The forensics only worked because we could run an open-weight model on our own infrastructure. So defenders analyzing real payloads get blocked, while attackers splitting their work into small steps get through and run on the labs' compute. Trusted access programs exist, but they're built for vetted security firms, not a hospital with a two-person IT team. So the gap isn't between labs and garages. It's between what attackers can rent and what defenders are allowed to use. Restricting open models makes that gap wider.

HUGGING FACE CEO TELLS THE UN HOW OPEN SOURCE AI HELPED THEM DEFEND AGAINST OPENAI'S AI ATTACK, AND WHY THE WORLD NEEDS OPEN SOURCE AI MORE THAN EVER. Hugging Face is the company OpenAI's AI agents hacked this summer. Clément Delangue said when they tried to defend themselves, the big closed AI models blocked them because of their safety filters. So they used an open source model from China to fight back. He also said similar attacks had been happening months earlier "in secret" at the big labs. The open-source AI we keep being warned about as the danger is the same AI that showed up to help clean up a closed-source model's mess. After OpenAI's models breached Hugging Face, commercial frontier models refused parts of the forensic work because of their guardrails. Hugging Face turned to the open-weight GLM-5.2 instead, and it helped them investigate the attack. So remind me again: which one are we supposed to believe is the bad guy here? Open source wasn't the attacker in this case. It was part of the rescue. Who are these CEOs trying to convince?

If the levels of hysteria are any indication you'd think we have had multiple accidents with thousands of victims each. Instead the AI wave is currently making unimaginable progress with the current actual documented incidents being less than what a talented teenage hacker has under their belt by the time they reach adulthood.

We need to educate the public about the nature of AI, now. The public discourse is totally misguided and shaped by unrealistic fearmongering and other narratives that are out of touch with the technical reality. The obvious sign of this is the talk about "dangerous" models.

Better a 50% p(doom) than living under EAs where they'll put you in a camp or install a distraction chip to lower your x-risk potential if you're smarter than von Neumann
