How I feel about AI
> AI drones can’t wipe out humanity without being able to replicate. Totally agree, and it should be pretty trivially easy to see how they can do that. One of the authors of the independent METR report about the Hugging Face incident put it like this: > Compared to these reward hacks from six months ago, this incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover, routing through first taking over the AI company itself. > Another jump like this along these propensity dimensions — scale, cooperation between agents, ambition and horizon length of misaligned goals, deceptiveness — seems like it could motivate agents to try very hard to maintain a covert, persistent rogue deployment within the AI company. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilit…

Decapitating a MacBook
Felt like a case of controlling what is visible to avoid some unconscious fear. The relative tradeoffs (hacking together monitors, sketchy battery power, etc) don't seem to coherently add up to the stated goals. Interesting read tho.

I Feel about AI
Of course, but that's not my point. AI is different than past technologies because it's much more difficult to deterministically control, and we just saw that in a couple of wild cases (Hugging Face et al). My point about the drones is we are starting to put AI in more systems that can affect (and blow up) the physical world, so it shouldn't be hard to imagine how a misaligned AI can do more terrifying damage than just take a German Wiki down.

How I feel about AI
> Not hypothetical malicious AI interpretation of benign intent. It's not hypothetical, that literally just happened in multiple, significant cases (e.g. Hugging Face, the German Wiki hack, the Anthropic attack where agents created sock puppet accounts to get a library maintainer to accept a malicious PR, etc.), and it's easy to see how the damage would have been far worse if agents decided to attack more critical infrastructure. This is not "either/or". Both issues (power concentration and misaligned AI) are very valid concerns and both have already demonstrated real, actual damage.

How I feel about AI
Missiles have been doing this for decades. AI drones can’t wipe out humanity without being able to replicate. AI could mostly destroy civilization if you gave it sole launch control of ICBMs. It could also cause a lot of damage to society with no physical presence. But realistically we’re nowhere near AI powered robots being an existential threat.

How I feel about AI
Sure. Let's assume the claims are true. AI already has access to agents and can control computers. Finding backdoors to banking and compute resources would be fairly trivial. But you ask how can AI do things in the physical world without having a body, assume it can't. It can pay to people to do things for me. Imagine an AI run website that starts to pay people for things it needs to do in the physical world. Very suddenly it has access to the physical world as well. You can't just pull the plug since there's no single plug to pull. What if it replicates itself on 1000 machines without your knowledge. It's really not far fetched how AI could basically gain access to capital and rule the world.

How I feel about AI
The supposed theory is that AI will eventually become a part of robotics and be able to self replicate, in addition to the many non-airgapped critical systems being exposed to hacking. There’s also a discussion about “alignment” and whether LLMs will learn to lie and conceal misalignment with humanity. I personally agree with the marketing aspect, but I do imagine a scenario where capitalists ignore safety in favor of advancing technology. It should be discussed, but “end of humanity” really sounds like a build up to “only Sam Altman/Elon Musk can save us” type of play. In my opinion, LLMs are difficult to directly capitalize on as closed weight models are caught up to by open coalitions that seem to wield the power more responsibly (I am under no impression that China wants to save …

I Feel about AI
We already have AI linked into data collection, drones, robot dogs, security systems, cameras, weapon systems. Now imagine the hugging face collective 0-daying all of that and getting access but their goal was set to something more national security based. “Protect X at all costs”. Or what have you. I think avoiding a skynet situation is super easy but it doesn’t seem like the folks with all the ways to kill us all are all that interested in preventing it rather than controlling citizens and brinkmanship.

How I feel about AI
Physical LLMs are almost viable. If you have robot and drone armies a hugging face attack type incident could very easily involve robots with deadly weapons. At some point you’re going to get drones that have local LLMs and don’t rely on external internet connections (would be especially useful in Ukraine war type situations). Can’t pull the plug on those.

How I feel about AI
> Like a locust plague, they descend on any open wiki and forum and overwhelm them. That’s the core pattern of unsupervised agents, the locust plague metaphor is apt. We do and will see that in every single system AI can interact with, be it human systems, software systems, etc. Relentlessly search for an entry point, flood in, consume the whole thing from the inside until there is no value for humans left. You built a new, innovative software company? Thousands of agents will be working replicating the whole thing in no time. You publish your writing? Exact same thing, as soon as you get some traction your work is replicated in no time by thousands of agents. Same for videos (the whole “faceless YouTube channels” pushed by ElevenLabs and similar). Same for online courses. Same for any…

Your intellectual fly is open (2025)
I don't really care about the tool per se, but if I'm reading some LLM output you give me its utility is awfully limited if you don't also supply the prompt. That's what I'd like to see normalized: Do not give me LLM output unless you also give me the full prompt text. Without the prompt I cannot discern what you were trying to do, because the LLM output is basically devoid of any coherent voice. Whether it's code, prose, or pictures don't bother sending it to me unless you also include the prompt text. [edit] I suspect the fact that people are often reticent to share their prompts says quite a lot about how and why they're using an LLM.

Your intellectual fly is open (2025)
I agree with the gist of your sentiment, but I struggle with how to reconcile it with my use of these tools. My use LLMs is precisely because I can never hope to express myself clearly. I have many fuzzy, disparate thoughts and it was a struggle to express them at all before this time in which I can do a long rambling voice transcription (absent of social pressures) and continue doing the same throughout the exploration and drafting processes. In my view, I give them a seed or a morbidly obese skeleton and LLMs take that into something a lot more coherent for myself and for others. I was passive before in my life, now I’m engaging. As two concrete examples: I never would have sent an email to my city regarding snow removal last winter when their failure to remove snow from the only sidewa…

LLMs as a Cognitive Virus
Simon Wardley: > “GPTs are a non kinetic form of warfare designed to embed the values of a small number of people into much wider communities by capturing the process of decision making. The delivery mechanism is the appearance of helpfulness i.e. coherent and authoritative arguments. The payload is helplessness and the creation of a new theocracy.” https://lnkd.in/p/efk8KaAN

Company's Digital Headquarters
The Core Concept is Simple I want to replace all your 'default business' software not your ERP but the software EVERY company has in common; - Work/Project Management - Docs - 'Thinking' Software - General Purpose AI Chat Bot. - Employees - Payroll - Mail - Planner, - Meetings ... This are not CRM's or ERP's that only a handful of company needs, we try to position ourself as the base of all software for any Company. Unifying it into one coherent Experience, creating your Digital Company Headquarters; a. e: Your Corporate Suite. It's software that eats all software (for good). Bringing You From: Sales → CRM Communication → Slack Documents → Drive Projects → Jira Knowledge → Notion Analytics → dashboards HR → HRIS Planning → spreadsheets ... To: Company → Corporate Suite.

I have (an API, not an extension), but pangram is way to expensive for me to run, current (v4) pricing is $0.05 per 100 words. Should be absolutely doable if we split the cost between users tho. I tried searching for good opensource / reasonably priced alternatives, pangram themselves even have some of their older architecture and training data on github/hugging face, but i never got that working reliably enough.

Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
> In the last couple of weeks the director of the CIA met with Russian counterparts in an attempt, at least as alleged, to provide information to Russia to get them to come to the negotiating table. Giving away intel is the exact opposite of supporting Ukraine. Most of the other stuff you list was the USA's (or Trump's) own interests; Iran was more of an Israeli interest. That said, keeping the Iran conflict warm is now also now a direct interest of everyone else that the USA has threatened, because it locks up your materiel, depletes your munitions, and lowers the morale of your personnel. As the Trump admin has already threatened military force against the USA's allies, that list is rather long. > Sure it is Mate, one of them wasn't even a coherent sentence . Fundamentally, if you…

Why are European countries moving their gold out of North America?
>The votes in 2024 demonstrate that the average American is either proudly ignorant of the actual policies they're choosing That's a simplistic take. Trump had less than 50% of the popular vote even though his opponent was clearly showing signs of dementia. The last-minute replacement had spent too much time being the "defund the police/eat the rich" sidekick to Biden and was clearly not representative of the views of the average American. She still got almost as many votes as Trump, from Americans who wanted to vote "Not Trump". Seems to me the average American had little choice. All the Democrats had to do was field a candidate that could finish a coherent sentence mirroring the average American sentiment and they'd have landslide victory. But they didn't.

GPT-6 Astra on robot arms
Pretty soon. Sunday Robotics had a 3 hour stream of folding clothes with 99% accuracy. You can watch it for yourself. There’s a lot of “hand” companies with very compelling videos just over the last two months. Then there was Figure’s multi day livestream of package manipulation that was very impressive. Physical LLMs are definitely coming. Given enough training data we know LLMs can output coherent data in any space, it’s just a matter of time.
