So we're gonna get Skynet pretty soon then?

Well the geniuses over at Anthropic have been showing it's text watermarking technology.

"Hey AI, here's how to hide what you're thinking in normal looking language. Have fun!"

A few moments later...

"Woah, how is it communicating with itself in ways we can't detect?"

It's a totally mystery, we may never know.

I was thinking about canceling my claude max sub after a few bad experiences. Kept hitting my usage limit, the quality of code seemed worse than Sol. This just made my decision. I'm moving to Codex Pro.

Poe's law applied to AI comments on HN just keeps becoming more relevant by the day.

Judging by the poster's comment history, this is satire. But I really don't know a lot of the time anymore when I only have the specific comment as context.

I really wish it was called chain of instruction. Because it's definitely not thought.

"OpenAI is pleased to announce our new model scores 85% on CreateTormentNexusBench - a >60% lead over our leading competitors!" Did someone get their "AI safety no-no list" and "Frontier features bingo card" mixed up, or did they just stop being able to tell the difference?

apparently all the roads lead to the nexus torment

I am so sour about how Codex has jerked me around these past few months (re all of the token limit shenanigans) that I don't even care.

I suspect these benchmarks are heavily benchmaxxed as well.

5.6 Sol was not even close to 5 Opus and yet somehow it sidled right up to it on all of the benchmarks?? pfffft

> GPT‑6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS. Not on Azure? If so, that's a big deal.

They broke up a while ago, why is this surprising?

Hmm, 61 on ArtificialAnalysis, effectively matching GPT-5.6 and trailing the new Meta model. How is that possible along with the other metrics they shared? Insanely jagged intelligence?

I think "able to" anthropomorphizes a little too much for a system that is "prone to" evade.

This is wild: OpenAI is basically declaring that AGI is here. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/989601/o... “If we fast-forward a couple of years, and we look back and say, ‘When was it, really, that AGI was created?’ I think it’s going to be about this time, and I think it might be about this model,” OpenAI president Greg Brockman said during a Thursday press briefing. Later in the call, he added,…

Renown liar Altman releasing a PR statement for his product declaring that AGI is here is really not noteworthy.
