Deeply entrenched corruption, obviously.

Surprisingly, it is a thing.

Where can I read about the Anthropic incident?

> things like ethnic cleansing (which these models are already being used for).

Got a cite?

At this point, it has a lot to re-learn, as the Trump administration has been systematically lobotomizing it for 18 months.

> How in the world did Anthropic have to do all the theatrics about Mythos just to have OpenAI release an equivalent or stronger model a month later without any drama???

Corruption. Giving Trump $25M will earn you a favorable decision.

It's just a shame that none of it seems to pan out, and in the areas where I know what they're talking about, it all sounds like cynical nonsense to me.

The "free market" gave the PRC its current strategic lock on rare-earth minerals. There's definitely no such thing as a free market in a Maoist dictatorship. I personally think the "free market" concept is an unachievable ideal and thought-terminating cliche, but "free market in a Maoist dictatorship" is for sure a contradiction in terms.

I just finished Everyday Zen by Charlotte "Joko" Beck, and it's very pragmatic and good, IMO, though you won't learn a lot of doctrine from it.

Zen is not a good Buddhist tradition to start with unless you have a skilled personal teacher, IMO. I would recommend starting with something like dhammatalks.org instead. (Click on the "For Beginners" header near the bottom of the page.)

Canada, Europe, China.

Ascension to AI plays a quasi-religious, soteriological role in the world of the book.

Right now, we seem to be shambling toward a war which would hit globalized industrial processes very hard. Buying decent hardware now might wind up looking like good insurance against that.

They might not have an answer in mind. They might just be exploring how you adapt to new tools and methods.

I have a nonlinear attention mechanism which seems to improve data efficiency, but it's slow. I'm trying to learn the python CuTe DSL to speed it up.

I'm also reading Principles and Practice of Deep Representation Learning, Or: A Mathematical Theory of Memory.

> Often this is for good reasons: governments have grave powers, and it’s usually for the best that they aren’t used too hastily.

"Don't mention the (Iran) War!"

Maybe they'll become an AI company again after they've abused their privileged access as hardware providers to reverse-engineer Google and Anthropic's weights and operations.

Common sense and rationality go out the window in corrupt, unregulated environments with perverse incentives.

> nearly 30 students in CS 10 were caught cheating on take-home exams in spring 2026.

You'd have to be really lazy and disrespectful, to get caught cheating on a take-home exam...

I thought one of the advantages of Glasswing was that it could produce a PoC for you. Was it producing working PoC's?

The headwinds are way worse now, though. Oil is choked, war is brewing, and corruption is at an all-time high.

> an AI company that produces virtual fetish porn and makes money renting GPUs to Anthropic

Whatever Anthropic is paying is too much, since it means xAI will get to observe Anthropic's software, weights and operations in detail. It's probably contractually prohibited from doing so, but I doubt that would stop Musk, given what's at stake.

For what it's worth, I think anything selling energy or fertilizer which is not sourced from the Middle East is a pretty good bet right now. Depends on how the US/Iran conflict plays out, of course, but I'm not optimistic.

A: This has not happened yet. B: Are you actually optimistic that it won't?

That's a request for an opinion, not an emotion.

Run coding agents in a docker container with limited permissions. FWIW, I run it with

  --cap-drop=ALL
  --pids-limit=4096
  --runtime=runsc

I'd need to see some transcripts of his conversations with coding agents, to believe this.

He was establishing the context of The current blog post. Very unlikely that he was doing it for Google juice.

Isn't society #1 going to outcompeted #2?

It's excellent for R&D.

From other comments, it came down to when Musk could reasonably be judged as aware of the injury.

They jumped into a contract with Hegseth, after Hegseth made it abundantly clear through his negotiations with Anthropic that any counterparty of his would have to assist with domestic mass surveillance and unsupervised lethal autonomous weapons, or face severe penalties.
