The site is a good example of Poe's Law. If I didn't know that it was real, I would have thought it was parody. > We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else. Do you have to have a broken bone to join? Apparently, grammatical nuances are not an area of focus for safety, unless they think that a broken team ("cracked") is an asset i…

This is probably his former Soviet union English showing up where he meant to say crack, unless he thinks people being insane is an asset

How are they gonna pay for their compute costs to get the frontier? Seems hard to attract enough investment while almost explicitly promising no return.

Does this mean they will not instantiate a super AI unless it is mathematically proven that it is safe?

But any model, no matter how safe it was in training, can still be prompt hacked, or fed dangerous information to complete nefarious tasks. There is no safe model by design. Not to mention that open weights models can be "uncensored" with ease.

6-figure free compute credits from every major cloud provider to start

5 minutes of training time should go far
