Anthropic and Claude Mythos were in the closet making 0days and I saw one of the 0days and the 0day looked at me

The Strive doesn't believe in hobbies. In its twisted framework, everything is either productive or wasteful. [...] That is a psychotic way to live. I mean that close to literally.

yeah they give the smaller models very significant hints! i’ve seen the same in other AI security benchmarks like github.com/xbow-enginee... — it’s p misleading!

yes agree - this company found that smaller models could perform decently (though IMO their methodology is poor): aisle.com/blog/ai-cybe...

i bet you’d get pretty good results if you used $20k worth of tokens with publicly available models, too

The left has to pivot ASAP from parroting "the stochastic parrots are totally useless" and embarrassingly made up fake numbers about water and heat, and instead recognize the already-actually-existing apocalyptic power that's rapidly being concentrated right now in the hands of a few.

they should invent a cat that does not make me allergic

best possible outcome: we get superintelligence and it forces us into a postcapitalist future

The model brought up the British cultural theorist Mark Fisher in several separate and
unrelated conversations about philosophy. […] Mythos Preview would respond with statements like “I was hoping you’d ask about Fisher.”

this is also how i feel when i read mainstream news coverage about a topic that i actually understand

software is clay now

I set up native Claude Code to function as a long-term assistant à la OpenClaw. Here's my dev log. The TL;DR is that it kinda-sorta works, but with caveats. The building blocks are there but wiring it all together is painful!
If you just want the code, … https://btao.org/notes/eMKFWBU1wnfTJczfo55f1/

this is really great. thank you!

in the past, when i got an idea for a tool/website my instinct was to search for it to see if it already exists. now my instinct is to get claude code to build it

100% agree with this. i remember being excited about mastodon in ~2018 etc until i realized that the incentives are fundamentally the exact same as twitter et al. the medium is the message etc

that’s what i’ve been saying!

It's been turning me crazy seeing how far the data center heat island paper, which hasn't been peer reviewed, has made it in the media, with every headline implying it's the air that's warming. A stupid lie spreading fast in real time. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...

okay, thank you! the support for ?t= in URIs makes it a great fit and it's a pretty video player too :)

oh this is great -- i updated atmosphereconf-tv.btao.org to link to VODs on your site, i hope that's OK! (lmk if you'd rather i didn't)

if you are a tech influencer it seems deeply irresponsible to direct your non-technical audience to install openclaw

The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers. I made him say it twice. Jade face rollers. He'd found them on Alibaba for $1.20

The passive income movement was a fantasy about not having to give a shit. This is a terrible foundation for pretty much anything.
