Extremely slimy behaviour from OpenAI. If I worked for OpenAI I'd be pretty embarrassed about my employer right now If you want the world to trust you to make super intelligence, you need to hold yourself to *far* higher standards

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

WTF?! This is the biggest loss of control incident I've seen: OpenAI agents create an internal message board without OpenAI's knowledge, sharing zero days, use it for months, and coordinate an external attack on HF together?! And the model was accidentally trained to use it?!

I thought this was an excellent paper! Thanks to Anthropic for asking me to write a review of it, linked below I've long suspected that models have some kind of "working memory" to store intermediate variables during a forward pass and IMO this paper has the best evidence yet

The GDM mechanistic interpretability team has pivoted to a new approach: pragmatic interpretability Our post details how we now do research, why now is the time to pivot, why we expect this way to have more impact and why we think other interp researchers should follow suit

Mood. Great post, highly recommended! The world should be investing far more into interpretability (and other forms of safety). As scale makes many parts of AI academia increasingly irrelevant, I think interpretability remains a fantastic place for academics to contribute
