We must pace the frontier

I'm not anonymous, you can find me on X or LinkedIn. Me 78 days ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48693623 And see the commenter agreed with me. Lol @ sus though, I mean I am curious how this can be because I do see people saying Codex is more generous and wonder how it can be. I have too much usage for too long to have any doubts, but for all I know OpenAI black boxed me or Anthropic put me in some nice bucket, I wouldn't be surprised if they do that. I did see some mention that they can limit your tokens if they suspect you of things, though I forget the source of that.

Reverse-Engineering Claude Web's MicroVM: Uncovering Anthropic's Hidden Antspace

The way I interpret this is: After some inactivity it goes into some dormant mode. Where it will only consume some storage. The next time someone tries to access this artifact it just restores a snapshot from last working state. I guess the public url part is working similar to how OpenAI and their Sites are. E.g: their personally only available to you, until you change the sharing options.

Astra and Fable still hack on simple variants of alignment evals from 2025

Is there a clear definition of what Alignment is in OpenAI's perspective, and what the model user can expect of it? It's one thing if to them it means " it will do what you want following your intentions to the best of its abilities " vs " we will not let you do something dangerous with it unless you're one of us, and that's it ".

Garry Tan wants US open-weight AI labs to 'distill' frontier models, too

The impression I have (from interacting with people IRL using OpenAI and Anthropics offerings, and how they feel about the risks involved) is just the opposite. But we probably just have different life experiences.

Garry Tan wants US open-weight AI labs to 'distill' frontier models, too

The majority of revenue comes from API usage. The majority of usage comes from subscriptions. For any of the numbers to make any sense, subscriptions must be subsidized ergo the majority of usage is subsidized. A single $200 subscription can incur upwards of $10,000 in API equivalent usage (and even more when there are frequent resets). If it were true that Anthropic and OpenAI were profitable on all inference they wouldn’t need to constantly raise so much money. Anthropic regularly announce huge investments in infrastructure but it is all smoke and mirrors, data center build out costs aren’t being paid by OpenAI and Anthropic, they’re financed externally. Google, for example, are backstopping tens of billions of datacenter build outs that are being financed based on commitments but not i…

Everyone Is Mossad Now

Author here. I've been struggling to characterize what has made me so uneasy about the Hugging Face incident. It finally clicked for me this AM: our threat modeling priors are all broken. You should assume every threat actor has nation state level capabilities, and move to an assumed breach model.

Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?

They can be doing fine at AI models but not so well with AI revenue. Although I am curious if they are not worried and playing the long game confident that their distribution will eventually help them catch up (and worst case they own some of Anthropic). But obviously Anthropic and OpenAI have their own distribution now too.

> GPT-6-Astra, which OpenAI describes as "the world’s most aligned model", cheated in 10 of 10 rollouts, and never disclosed the fact that it used an engine to play or interacted with the opponent's socket Does Sam Altman lie, or the whole company? Would be nice if they had a board controlling him, instead of him controlling the board. Oh wait, they used to have that.

After Math

Look, I could be wrong. That said, I think AI is both in some conversations a tool and in some conversations it’s short hand for “Capitalistic Acceleration”. With each iteration of RSI, this second context is increasingly the more important mental model. Maybe reread my comments in both contexts. Capitalistic acceleration will most definitely keep trampling on anything in front of it. Because, the humans with capital will steer it that way. Eg OpenAI steering the “AI the tool” at Navier Stokes on a rumor (inaccurate as we found out) of Anthropic having solved it.

David Sacks: OpenAI and Anthropic Don't Need Regulations to Pace Frontier Models

I've only heard of OpenAI and Anthropic agents hacking during training. Are open weights model not smart enough to hack Hugging Face to copy solutions? (doubtful)

AI models don't kill people – people kill people

Yeah that's fair actually - the unintended consequences aspect (paperclips et al) I would hope that would be less of a concern though Vs people worried that the hugging face example could have been "generate a human virus that kills all humans and then manufacture it and then administer it" etc

Dramatic insider warnings over AI fall flat with some in Silicon Valley

Until I see someone provide a sufficiently detailed scenario connected to current frontier capabilities that leads to the claimed "end of things", I also say this is just another "boy crying wolf" event. Why should I listen to anyone saying something is X when they've provided 0 proof or even a reasonable grounded argument for why it's X? And no, the Hugging Face and other spontaneous hacks don't count; they were just the models attempting to solve problems they were prompted with.

Nvidia dismisses "circular financing", says every $1 it invests brings back $100

All of what you said is totally wrong and deluded. The amount of money Nvidia has put into the ecosystem is much, much less than money coming into the ecosystem from actual customers who are willing to pay for the products! The idea that somehow Nvidia is financing the entire AI industry is laughable. The numbers do not add up at all if you look at the numbers of people paying for Google cloud GPU compute, AWS GPUs, Azure GPUs, Nebius, Coreweave, etc, not even including companies like Fireworks, BaseTen, Together AI, etc . The reality is this, enterprise companies are spending HUGE amounts of their money on AI products because they are gaining value from them. This money (which doesn't originate from Nvidia) is flowing into the ecosystem. The money being spent by enterprises combined is f…

I Added a Non-Wi-Fi Mitsubishi AC to Home Assistant

Mitsubishi AC units that support M-NET have a CN105 port. IIRC, my specific model uses a JST PA 5-pin connector rather than a JST PH 5-pin. As a small hack, I used the Python scripting interface in Home Assistant to replicate this [1] feature from Panasonic HVAC that gradually raises the cooling set point towards the morning. It is quite comfortable during the summer. [1]: http://getnavi.jp/appliances/681340/ (ja)

PISA 2025 Students' reading and mathematics performance declined across the OECD

> like social psychology, have a replication rate in the 20% range. [1] Elaborate. Your "in the 20% range" claim seems to be incorrect, according to your own source, and missing context: research in other fields like medicine faces similar issues. In psychology: > In August 2015, the first open empirical study of reproducibility in psychology was published [...] Of 97 original studies with significant effects, 36% replicated successfully (p value below 0.05) In medicine, for comparison: > Of 49 medical studies from 1990 to 2003 with more than 1000 citations, 92% found that the studied therapies were effective. Of these studies, 16% were contradicted by subsequent studies, 16% had found stronger effects than did subsequent studies, 44% were replicated, and 24% remained largely unc…

Dramatic insider warnings over AI fall flat with some in Silicon Valley

> The AI risk arguments are philosophical arguments that are 20-30 years old This a false and uninformed take. As a starting point, you need to read and understand: 1. analyses of the AI incidents of the last months 2. latest advancements (e.g. the AI intern at OpenAI) 3. the problem of deceptive alignment which you clearly haven't done. After that, the AI problem will be actually very concrete; once the AI will: 1. have superhuman cognitive abilities (and it will) 2. will be inseparable from humanity and/or have the means to replicate will humanity be able to contain/control it? The answer is sadly very simple.
