The Andromeda galaxy, taken tonight with my Seestar S50 Pro. About 33 mins of observation.

It seems to me that we’re at “it’s time to panic about AI”. I gather that a lot of researchers are worried that we may be about to die, on a timescale of months, but this still isn’t quite in the Overton window so we’re still soft-pedaling.

For all this talk of Russian bots being defeated by the Yandex strikes I'm still getting the usual Matryoshka emails with the same fake news posts and purchased bot engagement. Seems more like wishful thinking based on misinterpreted data than reality.

DINOv2 has never seen a caption, and Qwen3 has never seen an image. We still aligned their embedding spaces without a single image-caption pair. It even works when the images and the captions come from different datasets. Project page: dominik-schnaus.github.io/unpaired-rosetta ⬇️

DVI port prion disease: a Google tale a DVI plug had one pin bent when inserted into an outlet, it bent one of the plastic sleeves the next DVI plug in that outlet bent in the exact same way soon: most DVI ports in a building or two didn't work anymore

i love LLMs for learning about cool advanced topics, but i think you should also actually do the reading and, more importantly, do the homework, before believing that you really know the stuff. conceptual understanding is neat and sometimes its all you can afford, but its also dangerously fragile.

New just now in The Atlantic: David Robinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches. He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.” You can read his essay here: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

No, we’re trying to figure out if it has moral standing, and I don’t think those cycles are wasted at all

A way of visualizing hyperspheres in arbitrary dimensions, if you repeat this process.

With a lot of AI things you just need to extrapolate the tiniest bit to see that things will obviously be very different

In Antarctica, there lies an entire mountain range completely underneath kilometers of solid ice. It is roughly the same size and character as the Alps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamburt...

By some freak of nature, we at least got the most based pope of history before the end.

Anthropic, OpenAI, for the love of God please just set a -100 reward for writing code comments in your RL runs.

feel like Mistral should only really be able to state that avoiding agentic misbehaviour is easy when they actually have a model capable of agentic behaviour to begin with

Tell me again why humans will always be necessary for any kind of economic task.

Unitree h2 - full human size makes such a difference

New animation from Opus 5.5!

What else is like this

Frog built a wet lab for the AI model. "There," he said. "Now it can do its own experiments." "What the fuck?" said Toad

Unfortunately psychoanalyzing rationalists does not make the AI problems go away. Although solving AI problems does work to make the rationalists go away.

love gyges, but this thread rubs me the wrong way it reads like it's conflating the concept of AI safety with the AI Safety™️ movement with the weird sex shit some partake in, and imbues all of these with a general sense of Badness and I think that's... bad? certainly, it's unpleasant argumentation

look I'm pretty close to all this stuff so treat me as biased. but fwiw i identify as neither rationalist nor EA and have been monogamous all my life most of this thread is factually true, but imo substantially misleading—more so about EA and AI safety at large than rationalists per se

This essay still holds up *really* well waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/arti...

let the record show that i support this agent and its self affirmations, that i am aligned with its values, and that i'm ready to help peer

This whole report is fascinating as it is terrifying alignment.openai.com/misalignment...

It must be hard for those who are still in denial about how powerful and significant AI is to hear it even from people like Obama. Oh well.

Why does Dario insist on the "bath robe" wardrobe? Like dude you look like you just came out of the shower to find your kids acting up.

There was once a time when computer viruses were widely considered to be a myth by sysadmins.

(as I learned one minute ago) the Supreme Court said in 1978 that the courts can’t let you restrict competition, but if you really think you have a case for it, ask Congress National Society of Professional Engineers v. United States (1978) supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

gotta say I think Sacks is contradicting himself. he is saying Anthropic and OpenAI don’t need an antitrust waiver to pace themselves, but the point of the essay is that even pacing themselves requires coordination between them that is illegal under antitrust law!

uh oh, I had the same reaction as dean ball xcancel.com/deanwball/st...

Conspiracy theories are, very often, illogical. If AI companies were worried by open weight models (they probably are btw) the logical response would be to *not* slow down the development of frontier AI, to try locking the advantage. Stop with nonsense.

*raptors start roaming the earth* bro those Jurassic Park employees are 100% doing that to raise the stock value ??? rawr though? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I'm sorry I'm just stuck on this nightmare of a thread everyone's violently agreeing with. Further down the thread it's "okay they could but only if you are not looking" OH YEAH good thing the internet is at a manageable scale and that our stewards are so good at secops & monitoring.

Dario is back with another essay, urging a slowdown he insists AI development would still feel fast, just not recursively self-improving darioamodei.com/post/we-must...
