"If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither, pound the table." It's 2026; we can probably update "pou…

If Apple had published all of the details/data publicly, then they publicly could. But that is not the claim, and no one is even pretending that that's what happened.

There are absolutely laws about IP theft. That's why it's called Intellectual Property . You really don't want the law to be "Well you didn't lose a physical thing, so why should i…

US Government, have we got a deal for you! Brand new weapon. It's basically a super soldier. You could put it into a decked-out hulkbuster style robot body! It mostly does what you…

Because “rm -rf” is a known, explicitly provided-in-docs-and-training command. It is fundamentally different capability than “identified and chained multiple previously unknown exp…

Clients are not using it with security guardrails disabled . If you want to run it with all the safeties turned off, you don’t run it somewhere it can escape. Did we learn nothing …

If you (in this case, OpenAI) can’t find a way to answer this question to a reasonable degree of accuracy without falling back to “yolo let’s see what happens” you are in no positi…

You can have large scale airgapped environments. They don’t even need to be fully airgapped from each other (and is not what I’m suggesting). But there should be no physical (physi…

Sure, but there is a definition of “airgapped” and that is not it.

If you are attempting to run exercises like this, it is wildly negligent to not be running it in a physically-airgapped environment (potentially with a physical power shutdown). Yo…

Software people want to be “engineers” when it’s prestigious and (financially) beneficial, but avoid the actual classification when it comes with industry standards of behaviour.

This may be true (I'm sure it is, but I haven't verified) but the large majority of people do not know this, which is why hearing "my retirement account is going to be forced to by…

Until prices hit the large hyperscalers, I don't think most people are going to make significant changes. You might see a small set of open source projects related to self hosting …

I may be lambasted for saying this, but I do not believe that Fox (or any large media company, really) should be permitted to purchase direct access to the TV hardware of roughly 3…

In one of the most impactful and pivotal eras of new-technology-regulation, it is terrible that the most inept group of people possible are the ones making regulatory decisions.

You're right and that is the issue, but I do want to point out that IIRC for ITAR purposes, US permanent residents are considered US nationals. US vocabulary is confusing.

No, I mean I was using fable (or, trying) and got an api error "Error: claude-opus-4-8[1m] is temporarily unavailable"

I don't know how fast they reacted, but shortly after their documented time I started getting opus availability errors from fable requests, which seemed odd. I'd also think that th…

I just _know_ there is a (probably fairly large) group of people at Anthropic trying very hard to not say "I told you so" today

It’s a supply and demand thing. Google would definitely be buying from nvidia and setting up themselves if nvidia had the capacity. SpaceX/xAi/musk are currently in a good market f…

IIRC the large majority of their hardware (at least one tranche, they might have gotten more later) was Elon effectively stealing it from Tesla for xAI, saying “I’m personally doin…
