No LLMs for finding bugs.
As of late 2026, this is gross negligence and any project with such a policy should be assumed to have a variety of easily exploitable vulnerabilities.

Yes. Also exercise reduces the risk, and COVID has plausibly caused a long-term reduction in exercise levels.

Good piece, and ditto. Really the worst part for me was just not being able to eat for 24 hours before; the actual procedure was painless.

So the food got better from 2000 to 2022 and only since then has gotten worse?

I've been happy with Samsung's 27" 5k which has a decent clip-on camera: https://www.samsung.com/us/monitors/flat/27-viewfinity-s9-5k...

"They've specifically avoided trying" is also a possibility. Because what do they do if they actually find a critical flaw? Publishing leads to mass chaos. If they don't publish but it leaks, also mass chaos. (Probably just leaking the existence is enough without the actual proof). If they're "responsible" and report it to NSA, there's a good chance that model development gets forcibly halted and some chance that the entire company gets seized on national security grounds.

But this is the age when large government is generally seen as undesirable or a threat to the individual
Donald Trump would agree that the government should have a large amount of power.

The correct takeaway from this is that the AMT should be reformed, not that seizing large portions of founders' companies is fine.

that would still only account for a 6x increase in revenue-- not the 10x increase that they need to fulfill their contracts
Assuming you're talking about the $600 billion or so over the next decade, they don't need a 6x increase to cover that, they're already pretty close based on the $65B run rate as of last quarter.
their revenue is super concentrated in just a few customers
20% for the top two customers is not actually that concentrated. If both of them go to zero, at their current growth rate (45% from Q2 to Q3) it would take about 6 weeks to replace that revenue.

If the rich guy loses $1000 and you lose $10, is that good?

Did it catastrophically flop so the cinemas are ditching screenings?
Yes. This story is a perfect example of being deceptive while not saying anything that's false. They conveniently leave out the abysmal revenue numbers, hoping readers will assume it was due to censorship or threats.

I think we'll see a lot less people willing to share if the end result is just to feed the machine no matter how they arrived at it.
I don't see why I should care about this any more than I cared about "somebody I don't like could read my code and learn from it" in the past. The frontier labs can generate or buy all the training data they need; not releasing your app isn't going to hurt them in the slightest.

Give it another 6-12 months until the big AI shops shut those capabilities down and running local ones becomes cost prohibitive
I don't expect that to happen, but I do expect Apple et al to spend trillions of tokens hardening their platforms against users and red-teaming to find these sorts of holes before release.
See "tax incidence". Sales taxes are paid by businesses, and yet.
