Whitehouse gives anthropic "just draw the rest of the fucking owl" energy over Fable:

Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done.

With this and the OpenAI stories over the last few days I've been enjoying some top shelf schadenfreude

Wait anthropic are admitting that their model is basically the same as gpt 5.5 and the hype was undeserved?

Somewhat buried by EdZ's exposé... Nvidia trying to raise $21Bn with bonds this after Google raising money too...

Seems that even the mag 7 know the jig is nearly up and are trying to liquidate and get as much cold hard $$$ as they can now

So when sama suggested the financials would leak and people speculated that Zitron might have thema couple of weeks ago, they were bang on the money!

This Geekwire piece about anti-ai movement being just like the anti-gmo movement really boils my piss.

The anti GMO movement was non scientific and the reasons to reject the tech were always vibes. Whereas AI is entirely vibes and the reason to reject it are abundant and obvious - I don't need to list them in this forum.

Why did GMOs win the long game? Three reasons that map almost exactly onto AI-generated content.

First, the product is indistinguishable. Nobody can tell whether the corn syrup in their soda came from a bioengineered cob, and after a while they stop wondering. AI-written prose is already past the Turing threshold for casual reading. Many readers cannot tell a competent LLM draft from a competent human one.

Yes because LLMs are so great at prose. They definitely don't keep telling the same story about the same made up characters and locations. And they don't produce hallucinations that keep getting people into trouble.

Now the techno fascist billionaire class know how much we hate AI we shouldn't be too surprised that the flaks are out in force trying to spin anti-ai sentiment as an unjustified position for an educated people. We're doing something right folks. Keep fighting the good fine.

I've already seen "Europe 2031 was right. Shortest time between a work of science fiction and science fact" on LinkedIn.... 🙃🙃🙃

Now seeing one-shotted Europeans calling for the development of AI/LLMs at home - "Mistral" is not adequate

You know how the guardrails in the new anthropic models have been panned as overly sensitive?

Well now malware authors are including biology terms like "saccharide" in their source code to make llm powered scanners refuse to scan the code and let it past anyway

What a time to be alive

So very excited for the biggest pump and dump in the history of consumer investing, brought to us by a man actively inciting race riots in northern ireland. Can't wait for this afternoon 🙏

Gary Marcus has been spamming out sneers at Google, OpenAI and Anthropic over the last 24h. He's right but he's such a knob about it. The first of his posts was a whopper where he just quoted himself predicting things correctly from like a year ago. It is nice to feel vindicated and say "I told you so" but it's way too much. It reminds me of Juergen Schmidhuber who was famous on x-twitter for shouting "I ALREADY INVENTED THIS 30 YEARS AGO" every time a new notable paper came out of an AI Lab and whose name became a verb for "claiming credit for something"

He keeps going on about how we will have AGI but it won't be via transformers. Dude why do we even need or want AGI? He comes so close to being "one of the good guys" and then shows his true colours every single time.

The new Claude model will silently decide whether what you asked it to do is in line with anthropic ToS and silently corrupt your prompt if it doesn't like what you're asking. It's couched as a "safety countermeasure" but it is presumably to stop Chinese labs trying to scrape synthetic data.

We've moved from 'accidental' hallucinations to deliberate misinformation and you're paying $$$ for the privelige.
