@DapperJ the line doesn’t exist in most cases.

Bryce young had the rams shook, they had to press the red button 😴

@DapperJ let me know what your thoughts are when you done!

It’s time to demystify Mythos.

Mythos is not magic. It’s not a doomsday device. It’s the first of many models that can automate cyber tasks (just like coding).

OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-cyber can now do the same. And all the frontier models (including those from China) will be there within approximately 6 months.

It’s important to recognize that these models do not create vulnerabilities; they discover them. The bugs are already in the code. Using AI to discover and patch them will actually harden these systems.

The leap from pre-AI cyber to post-AI cyber means that there will be a big upgrade cycle. After that, however, the market is likely to reach a new equilibrium between AI-powered cyber-offense and AI-powered cyber-defense.

Obviously it’s important that cyber defenders get access before cyber attackers. That process is already underway but needs to happen quickly (see point above about Chinese models).

Unlike Mythos, GPT-5.5-cyber appears not to be token constrained so it may be the first cyber model that defenders actually get to use.

A letter to my friends at Anthropic

I hate that I feel obligated to do this. I hate that I've had to be so harsh towards Anthropic for the past few months. I really, really don't want to. I know it might feel like I'm doing this for clicks or something, but I promise I'm not.

My pro-Anthropic content ALWAYS outperforms my anti-Anthropic content. I have cost myself a lot of money, opportunities, sponsors, and more.

I'm doing this because you work for an evil cult. I'm begging you to wake up.

Your CEO, Dario, does not respect engineers. This is obvious. He couldn't make it more obvious if he tried (and I think he's trying pretty hard)

You know this, but you don't want to acknowledge it. It has kept you up many nights. You know that bad code is shipping to users. You know that one bad tweet might get you fired. You fear for your vesting schedules. You're afraid.

Nobody deserves what you're going through right now. You go to work afraid, you leave work afraid, and you go to YouTube to keep up on the dev world, just to hear me yelling all about how evil your company is.

You deserve better. You might not feel like you do, but you know deep down that this isn't right.

I hope you know how deeply I feel for you. I'm sorry. I know I haven't helped you much individually, and I want to be better about this.

If you're ready to leave, please hit me up. I swear I'll never tell a soul. I have friends at every lab and most startups in the AI world. Most of them would be down to match your current vesting schedules, possibly even go beyond.

If you're staying for the money, I beg you to hit me up. We can make the money happen somewhere that hates you less.

I know I'm asking for a lot of trust here, and that you're scared after seeing how hard I've been on Anthropic. I can't blame you at all for that. I should have posted something like this months ago. That's my failure to own and I will own it to my best ability.

If you're willing to trust me in this moment, I can make it right. Let me help you escape. You deserve to work somewhere that you can have impact. Somewhere that listens when you feel something is wrong. Somewhere that won't fire you when you point out the things that hurt your users.

My DMs are always open to you. When you're ready, let me know. I promise to make it right.

Who hurt @DarioAmodei in the past? A guy with a job??

[ty @TyeShoff]

If anything, AI automation will add another pay tier to these SaaS companies. If the platforms can't upsell you due to automation, then they will make their money by changing you to hook your AI to their system to do stuff on your behalf.

[ty @TyeShoff]

I think we underestimate how people use their phones. Normal people don't want more automation. The best route for OpenAI is to build something for high-end users. Something that will work with your phone, not replace it.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

This is the way.

The past 50 years of computing was about inventing form factors to interact with information. Retrieve information. Search for information. Edit information. Save information.

AI is about interacting with knowledge. It's completely different. Agents and models are there to do the dirty work aka interact with information). We need a new layer - more executive function, less tactical tools.

So instead of trying to jam AI into old form factors, its time to imagine a new form factor. From scratch. From first principles.

It's probably not a phone tbh, but what it is, I have not a clue. That said, like most breakthroughs we'll know it when we see it though.

Good luck to the teams building this.

Tim Cook is a legend.

I am very thankful for everything he has done and I am very thankful for Apple.

Correction: this is weird.

Underrated observation.

[Elliot Arledge @elliotarledge]

i learned a lot from this and i think you will too. its too bad anthropic and google lock you down to just their harnesses...

the nano texture display should be standard on all macbook pros.

[sunil pai @threepointone]

yes yes a 1000 times yes
after the, er, recent drama, I went into a rabbit hole exploring the space, and it's like my brain's been reprogrammed

lemme put it this way: there's nothing _fundamental_ about filesystems. or terminal commands. or _even your favourite programming language_. but there _is_ something fundamental about storage. or lambda calculus. the future of computing looks more like math+symbolic execution than unix+whatever's in the training set

(and it would be very bad for humanity if this wasn't true!)

(separately: theo's so far ahead of other js youtubers. always pleasantly surprised at the depth he goes to.)

[ty @TyeShoff]

don’t agree with this take.

Joe Budden says there's no excitement, moments and they're making money less money without Drake in HipHop ecosystem.

EVEN POOH SHIESTY
WAS HEAVEN SENT 🙏🏽

[ty @TyeShoff]

I hear a lot of tech investors say “the AI dream is when we won’t have to use our phones” and I think they are severely underestimating people’s need to do mindless things.

[ty @TyeShoff]

yall upset with Cam? I don’t see why
