I guess read-only memory is another requirement but that is very old technology we have never had asymmetric cryptography without read only memory.

Easy there I don’t want to take away your encrypted messaging. I’m just pointing out that the technology that enables it also enables the techno-totalitarianism we have been seeing rise since the mid 2010s

Isn’t the ability to create certificates guaranteed conceptually once you have asymmetric crypto? In that case there is no intermediate technology which allows key exchanges without also creating digital totalitarianism.

Asymmetric cryptography and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. I’m not even joking all of the centralization of power and the rise of totalitarianism tech is driving is downstream from asymmetric cryptography.

The things I’ve read from various open source orgs with access to it is that Anthropic is giving them unmetered access for now as part of Glasswing. I’d bet that the corporate partners have to pay though.

This will happen eventually but there is a much longer lag for hardware supply than for egg supply so I wouldn’t expect a ton of improvement until late 2027 or even 2028.

My understanding is that voter registration data is a matter of public record in most (all?) states so the idea that it wouldn’t be a matter of public record north of the border is itself odd to me.

I recently set up a Gemma 4 heretic fine tune on my MacBook to prove that I could more than anything else and it is probably around 4o levels of performance imo. Not fit for any real work. That said the fact that 4o was frontier two years a

Opus 4.7 loves to use the word “substrate” whenever it gets the chance, it’s a really weird tic. How do these models end up this these sorts of behaviors?

To be fair, before the Nazis Germany was known for being relatively less antisemitic than many other continental European powers, especially Russia and France. For a 1930 model to suggest the Germans would go communist (a perennial fear in

This works for code because there is an external verification step. The agent has to run code on the machine and observe the results. This is very easy for software since LLMs are software and can just invoke other software, it becomes much

It’s really simpler than this. China has a dearth of compute even with the easing of US export controls. Releasing open weights models is very much a “bring your own compute” move because every Nvidia chip they have is going towards trainin

The issue is supply is inelastic so even as prices soar they can only make more so fast and that won’t get fixed until 2028.

Yup. Anyone who is surprised by this has not been paying attention to the centralization of power on the internet in the past 10 years.
