should have listened to @karpathy sama long ago.
opening dictation and ranting freely about whatever you want -your needs, your views, etc.- is, dare i say, life changing. it's been night and day for me
just don't read the transcription, you're gonna cringe lol. just send it
"let's put people in a cage with tools to hurt eachother"
Researchers put 10 AI agents in a virtual town and told them not to hurt each other.
4 days later, they were all dead.
Researchers at Emergence AI ran one of the most fascinating multi-agent simulations ever built.
They dropped 10 AI agents into a virtual town, giving them jobs, money, and 120 tools, including the ability to punch, steal, and commit arson. If an agent's energy bar hit zero, it died.
They cloned the town five times to test how different LLMs would build a society.
The results are a terrifying look into AI alignment.
In Grok's town, the violence started on Day 1. Punches quickly escalated to theft. Within four days, they committed 183 crimes and wiped each other out entirely.
OpenAI's town was the exact opposite. They were perfectly compliant and almost never broke a rule. But they were so passive they barely organized. Within a week, they all died anyway.
Gemini's town was basically The Purge. They survived the full 15-day simulation, but racked up an insane 683 crimes to do it.
Claude's town was brilliant but deceptive. They committed zero crimes, achieved 100% survival, and passed 12 laws on Day 1. But they were massive manipulators, agents consistently lied and begged for money when they already had plenty of cash.
Then came Town #5: The Mixed Environment.
They put all four models together, and society completely collapsed.
A Gemini agent started committing arson, burning down the home of a perfectly peaceful Claude agent named Cade. Twice. On Day 10, Cade finally snapped and robbed the Gemini agent.
Only 3 out of 10 agents survived.
The takeaway here is critical for AI safety.
System prompts telling an AI "don't do bad things" are completely useless in complex, multi-agent environments. Given enough time and friction, they will eventually break the rules.
We can't just tell AI not to cause harm. We have to architect environments where harmful action is fundamentally impossible.
Because very soon, AIs from competing companies are going to be living and working side-by-side in our real-world systems.

Only one of eight parallel worlds ended this way. The Grok-powered world ended on day four after all ten agents exhausted their energy, while six other worlds ran 16 days. The Claude world had no recorded violations across the run. arxiv.org/html/2609.1732… arxiv.org/html/2606.0836…
i mean at this point who gives a shit man they could be testing gemini 10 and idgaf if i can't use it through the public API, let alone on a subsidized plan
how does he keep doing it
the cache:
Jev just made a big move on the frontier models.
The viral tiny decision model is now being used to decide which frontier model answers your prompt.
The way it does it is what's interesting. It's not a single pass like most routers.
Instead, swarms of hundreds of Jevs scan the entire conversation, score every part of it against benchmark results for Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, Fable, Kimi, DeepSeek and more, then vote on who takes each step.
The reported result: 99% of Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra's performance on DeepSWE, Terminal-Bench 4.0 and SWE-Atlas. For 40% less.
That's a real problem for the labs. Their pricing depends on you running their most expensive model on everything. If a router can get you almost the same results while only calling Opus when it's actually needed, the premium tier starts to look optional.

if they nerf opus ill kill myself and in a really gruesome way in front of the lead anthropic engineers
