Flagged. This is like a web page asking for your email password to check password strength, promising that it won't leave your browser. Maybe it doesn't right now, but who knows about tomorrow.

But the proposal the article is reacting to is for literally none of that! It is quite literally the opposite, with its proposed measures applying only to frontier labs rather than grandfathering them. It doesn't say anything about ope

I honestly don't even understand what straw man Doctorow is arguing against here. But he is wrong on the facts: these incidents were not merely the models already being in a infosec context and escalating beyond the intended parameters

I can't believe we're finding out about this from 3p researchers again (but nice job on the investigation!). OpenAI had two great opportunities to disclose this. The HF incident report, and in response to the German Wiki issue. It

A customer willing to make a multi-decade deal for half a reactor at a stable price is perfect for incentivizing new nuclear buildouts. The basic financial problem of nuclear is that it' capex heavy and opex-light, so the costs of the

The ability to appoint a board member doesn't mean you get to control their every decision. Nor is their fiduciary duty just one shareholder. Of course usually hand-picked boards don't go against their benefactor, and they're

What do you mean by "most writing", how are you scoping it? Most HN comments aren't LLM prose. Nor are most HN frontpage submissions. But by reputation, most substack articles or or linkedin posts are. This is a case where we

The apparent advantage is exaggerated by them running Astra at six different effort levels, and almost everything else at just the maximum available effort. I don't really understand why they keep doing this. Either run and report ever

The "it's all just marketing" conspiracy theory is always totally detached from reality, but particularly so in this case. Your quote shows OpenAI is denying it being a hacking attempt, the opposite of what you say.

There are no ten year old H100s. The first production shipments happened exactly four years ago. I'm pretty sure your claim about TPUs is similarly exaggerated, only a v1 (barely) qualifies and would have no utility today.

The immediate fallacy here is implying they need to make a profit to pay for compute. Profit is what's left over after you pay for expenses, not what you pay the expenses with. The sleight of hand (yours) is that those numbers don&#x

Nobody can rebut 10k words of rambling across half a dozen of separate arguments in a forum post. It'd be too long, and there is no readership for a point-by-point rebuttal for the dozens logic errors, misreprentations and various slei
