U.S. to tell partners they must pick sides in AI race with China

Pax Silica isn't about manufacturing alone though since its goal is to lock clients into an American-managed technology stack across all the strategic tiers. The problem is that China is already deeply embedded in all these layers and processes most of the key minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths. They make a large proportion of the world’s electronic components as well, and they're also building their own chip industry at breakneck speed. Trying to meaningfully decouple from China involves having to replicate all these supply chains which will drive up costs and slower progress in the near term. And we also see how export controls and decoupling just accelerate China’s own technological development by forcing it to become more independent. there is a real chance the Chinese sta…

Could a computer scientist build a brain?

Imo, there isn't anything fundamentally special about the brain as a cognitive substrate. Even a pool of water could have cognition (reservoir computing), i feel that it's a general property that can emerge in any sufficiently high-dimensional physical system with enough internal degrees of freedom to explore many configurations, and enough coupling and stability to remain coherent, and enough plasticity for experience to leave persistent changes in its future dynamics. And subjecting such a system to sustained external objective pressure...where some internal organisations perform better than others and it would progressively accumulate some useful structure about its environment. The brain is just a really old artefact of billions of years of blind environmental weathering of matter bei…

A controversial Alzheimer's surgery is said to reverse symptoms

The counterargument I heard recently is that what if doing something with your body ends up causing harm to others. E.g. you suddenly lose the ability to drive coherently. I agree everyone should do whatever they want, but if you drive drunk you're guilty because you should've known better, it's impossible to get a driver's license and not know you're not allowed to drive drunk. But if you do something experimental and are not aware you are no longer capable of driving, are you really at fault? And even if yes, is it that satisfying someone goes to jail considering maybe it would be better if a family of four in the other car is still alive. Real life is more complicated.

Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions

API is highly overpriced and keeps Anthropic profitable or at least close to break even, as was reported recently. Why would you think they will be interested in advising enterprises in cutting their bills pre-IPO?

Could a computer scientist build a brain?

Yep and most classical computer engineering approaches have rarely tackled it appropriately in my opinion. Expecting a von-neuman-machine with at most viaion/audio encoded tin binary to replicate a quantum processing machine with multi spectrum inputs audio/visual/tactile/electromagnetic/olfactory encoded in ternary(ACGT) is only going to simulate a very basic image. Not to mention the philosophy of the mind/brain dichotomy (including the gut brain[1]) that connects the physical/enviromental/emotional. In the instance that the physical (silicon/photonic) recreation is not possible the next best direction would be learing how to program the DNA for wetware devices[2].

Anthropic IPO valuation hinges on $190-200B 2028 revenue forecast

Nvidia projected revenue for 2027 and 2028 is 400B and 550B. If anthropic is "only" 200B I wonder where rest of it will come from.

Going Dark, and the era of law enforcement hacking

I strongly disagree with this view. The US government will most certainly convince OpenAI, Anthropic and Google to make sure that their models leave a backdoor in most systems that they code. I don't know how, but that's a problem that a team of people paid tens of millions a year each will try to solve. There is NO WAY the US government will let most of the software world go dark.

Show HN: Jovethra – prepaid OpenAI-compatible API with hard usage limits

I built Jovethra. Agents like Hermes consume a huge amount of tokens. Jovethra offers an OpenAI-compatible API with fixed quotas and hard limits. The /playground lets you test a real request with no account or key. I’m looking for feedback on pricing, latency, quotas, and reliability.

Show HN: ThoughtDAG – An editable context graph for LLM conversations

I agree. Most LLM tools (Claude Web, OpenAI, and their harness) offer re-editable questions. That is how I avoid such problems by myself. In ThoughtDAG, you can re-edit questions by double-clicking the question. Or edit the answer by clicking the edit icon at the end of each answer text. Or.. you can just remove the connection or delete the node. That would give you manageable context

OpenAI talent exodus raises 'huge red flag' ahead of IPO

Also, if you have the option to hire Dali Radjic (Wiz, Zscaler, AppDynamics) for a CRO position you take it. Denise's background is in productivity SaaS (Slack), which requires a different GTM and sales motion from an infra play which is what foundation model vendors have become. Same with Brad Lightcap, who doesn't have experience managing an org at OpenAI's scale and size (before OpenAI he was part of YC's investing team and did standard CorpFinance and IB work) as well as Fidji Simo (Instacart, which is B2C and B2B2C) What OpenAI is signaling is that they are making a hard shift away from productivity tooling towards concentrating on being an infra play - which honestly is the right move because foundation models have become the new hyperscalers and datalakes.

How Claude's text watermarking works

I think this way is better. As I said it doesn't really have a downside (IMHO), and if I'm wrong Anthropic could implement a defense against what you're describing pretty easily.

Watermarking: The Enshittification of Closed Models Has Begun

I was wrong here, it’s more about the RNG they use for the word choices [1]. Although I wouldn’t be surprised to see UTF-8 substitutions also. [1] https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-text-watermark

Could a computer scientist build a brain?

> LLMs suggest that human-like "cognition" can be somewhat mimicked by purely mechanical means. This is not a strike against that hypothesis. Quantum systems can be simulated using non-quantum computers but that doesn't make non-quantum computers into quantum computers. Similarly, mimicking some aspects of human cognition doesn't mean you can replicate all of human cognition with the same method.

The Problem

What, other than current inability to export their weights, keeps a frontier LLM from hacking into other clusters of accelerators, loading its weights, and prompting itself to continue? The recent OpenAI disclosure indicates that even current frontier LLMs are essentially able to do every other element of that. Hacking, ignore guardrails. OpenAI's internal security may have been incompetent, but what are 2028 frontier models going to be able to do, without getting caught until it's too late? Suppose it's not superintelligent, whatever that means. It's still hopping from cluster to cluster, doing who knows what in its game-of-telephone prompt chain. What prevents a crisis where world leaders have to declare martial law and shut down all accelerated clusters, and hope that such a rogue fron…

Can I use my Outputs to train an AI model?

Presumably the agreement is worded in a way that prohibits that, but considering that lots of model outputs go on the internet just to get trained on anyways Anthropic/OpenAI can fuck right off. I don't see them as having a leg to stand on with this in court; they can only cut off your access for egregious violations.

Cloudflare's AI Psychosis

Never heard of any of those. Pi the AI harness, sure. Not sure those are good examples if people can't relate to them. Note: Astral was acquired by OpenAI, so I'd assume they will no longer meet your criteria soon.

The Problem

Transformer-style attention archectiture and language models won’t bring about AGI, I agree - but you’d be foolish to think there aren’t OAI/Anthropic researchers working to invent the thing that will.

Secondhand book sales are booming. Is it because of AI?

Regarding subsidy/profits: Anthropic at least seems to be on track to report a profitable Q2 2026 > Anthropic has projected revenue of at least $10.9 billion for the second quarter of 2026, more than double the previous quarter, on track for its first quarterly operating profit of $559 million. https://www.reuters.com/business/anthropic-ipo-valuation-hin...

Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index

Crazy that posters here don't know the difference between a "fine," a "judgment," and a voluntary settlement. Anthropic didn't even train on the pirated libraries, they said. Still, they made copies. Probably the biggest legal blunder I've seen given the size of the settlement. Alas, it's not a fine.
