An internal model at OpenAI has produced a claimed refutation of ETH! Russell Impagliazzo, Mohan Paturi, and I have been asked to help organize an open and independent examination of this claim. 1/4

damn, not only an extraordinary business, but its ipo also sets an almost ridiculous precedent for every other ai co hoping to go public.

BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg. Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible. This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

watched to kill a mockingbird on a flight today. it's good! most of what stood out to me about it was not really the subject of the movie but the overall texture of the life it depicts. it's charming watching the kids run around getting into trouble. they have to navigate getting in and out of surprising amounts of physical danger in a way that feels grounding and healthy. there are lots of moments where adults give the kids little bits of instruction on morality and etiquette in a style that feels very straightforward and sensible. the dialogue leaves a lot to implication in a way that feels respectful of the viewer and makes modern movie dialogue feel extremely overexplained by contrast

Ok, I just checked this, and its literally running a freaking TensorFlow Lite model on 960×540 images with INT8 quantization every couple of seconds in an attempt to figure out what game you are playing. It's literally called "alex.tflite" and its literally AlexNet and seems to follow torchvision.models.alexnet. As far as I can tell this does some strange nearest neighbor feature comparisons against a DB and literally doesn't work 99% of the time, you love to see your CPU get wasted every other second by this thing though. It also just seems to dump its results into the void because the consent gate comes later. Anyways, here's the tf model graph and some dumped captures.

This user posted - “We had to patch a major energy security flaw on 3 grids in the US this week alone. “ 2 days later the Pentagon said it’s prepping “every major US military base to survive 90 days without outside support “ — no civilian power grid no global supply chain. I’m not saying they’re correlated, but the timing is definitely odd

Let me get this straight. A guy keeps getting weirdly targeted ads on his new Samsung TV. So he breaks into his own TV to find out why. 1.2M people watch. 42 hours later, OpenAI deactivates his account. Reason: "Cyber Abuse." His words: "i have never used openai to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering" Same week, people on r/claude say Claude now cuts off reverse-engineering write-ups MID-SENTENCE: "A safety check stopped my response partway through creating the playbook" The TV is fine. The guy who opened it is the problem.

Imagine everyone (but u) on the planet is about to be turned immortal so they can be horribly tortured for an eternity. You can save them by undergoing horrible torture (to death) yourself for 6 hours. (You do get respawned after though.) Would you get tortured to save them?
