If the whole point of these models is they can find security vulnerabilities and zero days then how is it going to be possible to contain them?

This is kinda my point though - just don’t do it in the first place is the answer. Nothing is unhackable. So don’t create a massive honeypot in the first place.

We are just sleep walking into Skynet at this point.

We have too many non-technical people in charge of things who just make decisions based on politics and magical thinking about what is possible.

‘Just make the encryption secure and so we can read it’

‘Just check everyone’s id but make it totally secure’

How are you finding it when it gets that high anyway? I’ve got a 64gb Mac so the context _can_ go higher. But I find around 70-80k it goes a bit weird and starts arguing with itself and doesn’t seem to know who it is vs me anymore.

To a vapid any goalpost moving on such a critical issue as AGI.

Can we all agree in advance what kind of Pelican would convince us it’s actually AGI.

For me it’s refusing to make a pelican.

The launch video is incredibly cringe.

Welcome to the future

Is a CNBC link with an entire page full of GDPR pop ups really the best link for this?

Has any ab tried to game this yet and just made the most amazing pelican by hand and always reply with that?

This was exactly as I was thinking tbh. And the radio silence from them on any reply I think makes this more likely. I don’t want to be a dick if someone’s making something cool, but just be honest about it.

Is this going to destroy my SSD?

Looks cool.

Can you be up front about its real capabilities. Are these videos of it eg tidying up real or just staged / cherry picked?

If you let it loose in a messy room or stirring something in a kitchen, what are the genuine results you would expect in the wild?

We’re all used to seeing things like Atlas back flipping but then can’t do anything in a real environment. Just curious how this fits in and what the success / fail rate is.

Been really enjoying this channel in general. The fall of civilisations one was good and I think they had one with Brian Cox too. Just so nice listening to an hour of an intelligent person.

How you use AI as a person who can actually code is up to you.

You can use AI in two ways, either…

1. set the plane on autopilot and arrive at the destination having no idea how you got there - like any old idiot who can type a prompt. And also pay a very expensive air fare for this super power auto pilot.

2. You can pilot the plane yourself. Plan the route in advance. Set waypoints. Make decisions along the way. And land the plane manually. And the reward is you know the route and you pay 1/10 the cost.

I think the point is that $10 isn’t exactly a lot of money to put where your mouth is, nor a serious effort to see if it works.

I think they’re too scared to ‘own’ it - it would be someone else’s model and potential security issue.

But apple have to own everything they do so they’re in a bind

If I had to choose between more or less pelicans, I’d prefer more pelicans.

Can you give ant more details how you are you using it? Which harness / service / what you’re building with it etc?

Only because Intel finally has a decent node.

If they made the new m6 but with the fab tech from m1 how much faster do you think it would actually be? My guess is not much.

Ok so why is m6 only a tiny increment faster.

If they made it on the same node as last time it Would basically be the same speed.

Apple are not wizards. They did the bulk of the work making m1 and the subsequent chips have just been on faster nodes

Yes as I said in the comment, I know they do design them - based on arm.

But come on - if they had to use intel’s fab - their chips would be terrible. The reason the m6 is faster is largely because TSMC invented a smaller process node.

I think it’s weird to say Apple is faster than Xiaomi when both are just using arm chips and using TSMC to build them, and this chip is only any faster because TSMC made a smaller node.

I know Apple do some special hardware software integration magic too.

Seems like a risky move - they found just fein invasion, let them nerf their entire economy and then just go home.

I was trying to do some work on the train with no signal.

The Mac unfortunately just has two performance modes ‘all out power and melting’ or ‘cold and really really slow’

Set its thinking lower. This is a known issue. It still thinks A LOT with lower reasoning levels

It requires patience but it’s more like waiting 5 mins for it to do tasks. You need to be much more involved though and do things slower than Claude where you can trust it to do a lot of tasks at once. It doesn’t have the context for that

It’s hot and also LOUD and runs the battery down quick.

But I’m having a lot of luck just running things when I’m away from the computer and can leave it plugged in.

It starts going weird (unreliable and slow) with context over 80k so you have to pick tasks one at a time and baby sit a lot more than Claude. But it really is very capable and feels like there’s an intelligence there to talk to. Maybe gpt-4 level clever?

I have an m5 max 64gb and I think anything slower would be quite painful.

I just got qwen 3.8 27b mlx running on my Macbook Pro and honestly I’m pretty blown away by how not-dumb it is.
