Likewise the Inkling open weights announcement, Thinking Machines model, was also not criticised. The comment about Meta is because of particular dislike of Meta, because of their business model, and how harmful they've ultimately turn

Of the two competing models Meta compare Glimmer to in the post, one is Google's Gemma 4. At this size open weight model, a Western company was already state of the art, Meta is joining that competition. And my memory is that Gemma 4 g

At least join PauseAI or similar. Or give money to them. Write to politicians. Read Plan A and tell people about it.

Hmm. And the AISI unintended model hacking yesterday was also just marketing for the British Government? At some point we have to all accept that powerful AI is most likely dangerous AI as well, almost by definition.

I guess we'll have to fall back on the plan of hoping one of the 7 Anthropic co-founders has secure power in this world, and decides to use EA principles to give us all a bit of their share of the future light cone ;) (The wink because

Because the implied alternative of the comment is that people will carry on having jobs, which breaks the entire premise that there is AI that replaces all human labour. The comment is missing the point - UBI is the only suggestion anyone h

They're not being especially careless to industry norms. It is partly that software engineering has no professional standards, and partly that AI is fundamentally dangerous in a very slippery way. Yes, they of course try to spin this f

I hope someone does sue soon. The AI companies are making a very dangerous technology deliberately, and at minimum should be accountable for those dangers. Some will really try not to be as we get further into this - just as previous exampl

I think it is the cost of moving fast. Air gapping would slow down their partner evaluation system hugely . All the engineers would have to go and live next to the model. They need to do this now. But will be extremely resistant. It needs

They do in general! The post is about when the tactic you suggest went wrong. Humans are imperfect and make mistakes. That's exactly the point - AI is fundamentally unsafe because as it gets more powerful even if it isn't maliciou

Quite! It's worse than that - the AI companies all release tooling that deliberately gives AIs as many capabilities (arbitrary code execution) as possible to be really sure it is not box contained. And the market rewards that behaviour

It seems completely unsurprising to me that there is one security company whose software is sufficiently badly written that it executes the code in every package published to PyPI. It's very very easy to make that kind of mistake. Mo

Also, in reality above a certain power level the Governments will stop giving us access anyway. This already began with Mythos.

You need AI capabilities to the point where the US and Chinese leaders get scared enough that they do a deal. There are detailed specific scenarios in Plan A https://ai-2040.com/

There's a decent amount of stuff in Plan A. Especially if you read the supplements. https://ai-2040.com/

I can't find similar rules at SourceHut, can you point to them? They use Anubis and block LLM scraping, but that sounds useful to me!

Given a German court talked about not having the prompt logs making it hard in a specific case to prove it had sufficient human input, maybe someone could do an open source hosting service where the Claude Code logs were fully uploaded with

Umm, Fable only really came out 2 weeks ago, and GPT-5.6 Sol only 1 week ago. Yes, Kimi K3 appears a touch below them both, but above all other models. So I'd say a few weeks behind, not months now...

I'm trying sourcehut at the moment https://sourcehut.org/ and it seems really good - very simple and fast. And does seem to be free for hosting open source projects. Anyone else used it and have thoughts on it?

I've been wondering this - I don't have an intuition for Anthropic's gaming around military applications, or how this stage could play out in terms of relationship to Government controlling AI. Are there some Less Wrong posts

Sounds good from an x-risk point of view then. Maybe that's their deliberate plan!

I only did undergraduate level in Maths, and to me there is a key aesthetic element which makes it created. The choice of axioms to use, the choice of with theorems are interesting. Yes the "truth" (doesn't exist, see Gödels

There have been some US cases about this, but it isn't generally settled internationally. "Fair use" is a US specific thing. Even in the US there are ongoing cases. Paper about how weights are a derivative work of the trainin
