Apple nowadays feels like it’s rudderless and grasping at everything for $$$, in turn giving up on their OG design principles.

First Liquid Glass, then the 17’s design, then ads and ecosystem subscription bloat, then Duo/HomeView, and now the touchscreen Mac. Jobs is rolling in his grave.

Say this is true (we are near or at the upper bound of safe capabilities and tokens are commodities). If they successful get regulated, all they’ll get is a little extra time. The market will soon realize this - regulated or not - and pull investment.

Seems like an excessive announcement just to get a little extra time.

I agree it’s not all altrusim. It’s a little less clear what you mean at the end though.

For these companies, is your argument that “pacing the frontier” is their attempt to be nationalized and protect their investments?

Disclaimer: I’m in security engineering and thus I’m primed to being skeptical. I am in full agreement that security assessments and regulation certainly needs to be stricter in foundation labs. However, I’m extremely skeptical when Amodei, Altman, and Musk all agree on something at the same time as it’s becoming viral and hits mainstream media.

Red flags:

- Amodei claims RSI is here and links two sources, but neither reinforce this notion. It’s heavily agreed upon true RSI is the danger sign here (also by Coxon). Nothing indicates there is something these labs have developed that supports RSI today or even soon.

- Real US orgs are moving, like today, to Chinese open source AI run locally due to cost constraints. Ask anyone in the industry in an infra role. Frontier AI is just way too expensive to justify for coding. The big 3 labs are scared of this - their revenue and moat disappears once OSS models are progressing enough for developers to use. Kimi/GLM/DeepSeek Flash/Qwen are usable today on hosted hardware for actual coding work.

- These labs would all benefit from nationalization if their funding model fails (an easy bailout).

- Related to the above, with federal guidelines in place (i.e. restricting access to certain organizations, or establishing something like FedRAMP approval for AI use), their path to government/contractor/large U.S. company distribution becomes so much easier. They can control the supppy chain of AI for organizations.

- Preparing for (or in xAI’s case, launching) a public IPO creates excitement among consumer investors when they think this tech is as powerful as it is claimed.

- The HuggingFace hack demonstrated no new capabilities that were not previously seen before - previous models were misaligned, but weren’t as harmful as agent swarms. Anthropic’s marketing directly hopped on this bandwagon when it saw the outcome of OpenAI’s blogging making it to mainstream media (and they constantly paint China as “the” bad guy without further elaboration or research that you’d expect on APTs).

Amodei is a CEO at the end of the day. It may be 25% earnest speculative concerns, but you’d be foolish to take it at face value given the patterns we’ve seen from Anthropic, xAI and OpenAI to date. Until we see real proof of RSI we should be skeptical.

I see in the attached SS that the car has the "BIFL" FSD (?). Does this mean you could swap this CPU a non-FSD Model 3 and get it?

:O

I personally enjoy the errors and oddities in syntax and dialect which tell me something definitively is > NOT written by AI and help me understand the author better in such an anonymous space.

The second is gonna be a lot harder to enforce, as we soon (and probably already) don't know who we're talking to on the internet - a real person or someone's agent? Will calling spaces "human only" later be seen as discriminatory by agents? How will we actually enforce "human only" spaces? Will websites like HN start to provide an "agent only" discussion forum or filter in addition to the "human only" sections?

It feels like CC got nerfed after the 4.6 drop.

This is the safest way. You also want to disable auto update to version lock, which means using Firefox or Safari or loading unpacked if you use Chrome.
