@milesdeutscher The good news is that this will all leak into open source via unauthorised distillation. We will still get the improvement and benefit.

It is just a huge unforced error by the US government which will weaken the US’s position in the industry

[🍓🍓🍓 @iruletheworldmo]

it’s looks like the era of us living on the bleeding edge of frontier is over.

if these models are being taken away, we’re on the steepest part of the curve.

i know for a fact that the newer versions, mythos 5.1 and gpt 5.7 let’s say. are as significant a jump as mythos was.

sadly our access to such models will be an ever receding point.

this is terrible for society and safety.

sam’s entire philosophy has always been to democratise ai and ensure the frontier is making contact with the public so we can figure this out together.

if the next model we get our hands on is gpt 10, this would be an absolute societal disaster for so many reasons.

@_oddfox_ @MatthewBerman Politicians are indeed children who can’t make informed decisions

@OpenAI @DavidSacks please let’s not have “limited release” become a new norm. This is very decel.
We all know you are a very good guy and on the side of the angels in all this, push back as hard as you can on the bureaucrats doing this

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

Unfortunately it appears the world has changed and we are never going back

OpenAI just announced GPT-5.6 Sol, a model that beats Mythos at 1/3 the price

It will only be in limited release to start as the government reviews it

The days of wide release frontier models are over

The years of some executives shilling AI as a world destroying technology that needs regulation got what they wanted, regulation

Now only the select few will get access to super intelligence. Leaving the normie class behind

It's a massive loss. Now winners and losers will be picked by the government. Which sucks.

All of this doomerism has done nothing but slow America down

On the positive side, Fable 5 will have competition

It appears OpenAI has discovered a new post training technique that is allowing them to make revolutionary jumps at a fraction of the price

That is unbelievably positive for all consumers.

Will be counting down the days until I get to use this model

In the meantime I hope this was a wake up call to the entire industry that our words and marketing matter

@jpschroeder It would be great if they imposed a ban, it was ignored, and government became irrelevant as a result of the most powerful tools being available only to those who don’t follow its laws.

An accidental transition to anarcho capitalism and unprecedented freedom and prosperity

Putting AI water use in context

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

This is based.

Glyphosate is exceptionally safe and it's unwise to allow people to sue companies just because they're irrationally afraid, and then to be awarded by juries that reach incorrect scientific conclusions.

This is a win for common sense!

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@om_patel5 This is quite cool, but he hasn’t proven anything.

Intelligence and sentience are emergent phenomena, the substrate they emerge from isn’t the important part - doesn’t matter if it’s video game goats, neurons, or GPUs.

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@energygovuk How dare these journalists hold politicians to account and not just accept what they say at face value! Disgraceful behaviour

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@ZackKorman @DavidSacks please do everything in your power to stop this decel nonsense

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@bennycraven @Jason No one deserves anything.

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@cremieuxrecueil But friend the real question is did the Vogons destroy the compute cluster to build a highway ?

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@ianrich15813274 Everyone believes in some kind of fairness, they just don’t agree on what fairness means.

Most people don’t believe ‘fairness’ includes doing things that harm everyone but harm well off people more.

Those that do will never, ever vote conservative so she needn’t worry.

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@Dr_Singularity Largely due to eating too much

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@LNJStokes If only a technology existed to keep homes cool that is used widely in much of the developed world.

Surely if such a technology existed then the government would encourage its use to improve health and living standards and not actively discourage it through planning laws

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@JamesEsses One step worse than state sanctioned abuse, state mandated abuse

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@RosieDuffield1 It is incredibly evil.

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@SamCKx Whilst you’ve been digging it’s completely vanished from headlines and popular discussion because no one cares.
People who already don’t like Nigel will say it’s awful but they weren’t going to vote reform anyway. No one else cares.

It is an irrelevance.

[Baron Fitzwalter @baronfitzw]

@JamesEsses This is the single most evil policy a British government has drafted in decades
