in san francisco, if you try to rent a 2BR without knowing how to implement GRPO from scratch, they take you behind the barn and shoot you like an old dog
Two SCOTUS decisions today:
1) President can fire any executive branch agency appointee at any time without cause (Slaughter)
2) President can't fire Federal Reserve Governors without cause (Cook)
Taken together, SCOTUS enshrined the Fed as the 4th Branch of the US Government
This is a point Dario fails to mention as well. Anthropic builds their guardrails as probes + classifiers. This can only be done if you can inspect activations and layers.
Which ofc you can't if the model is closed.
BOOM!
Meet the open source Cambrian Explosion of repulsion of Anthropic!
Meet Qwythos 9B, a Qwen3.5 based GGUF that's both uncensored and quantized for efficiency.
I am running it now and it is brilliant!
A model that can reason through 1 million tokens of context, understand images and text, and even call functions.
Come and take it!

According to ARK’s research, multiomics will be the most profound application of #AI: helping to diagnose disease before any physical symptoms, slashing the cost and time to develop and deliver novel drugs, and curing disease…turning “sickcare” into healthcare! @Ovid_ARK
The ultimate irony is that open source models are far safer as their latent thinking, activations and weights can be inspected by anyone.
They are more unbiased because they can be fine-tuned to anyone's desired alignment.
The powerful were always going to gatekeep frontier models from the permanent underclass. More important is the availability of open source models that become available.
I don't believe in Utopianism. I do believe in Cyberpunk Futurism.
For some reason, many people will hate you for even trying to make the future better.
Stay focused on your vision, and don’t focus on comments or articles about you. Find good people around you that can give you valuable input instead.
My daughter's friend in grad school, upon being asked by a member of her dissertation committee why she didn't include a Marxist perspective. "I grew up in the Soviet Union. I don't practice recreational Marxism."
I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.
"You want that Animal Style?"
I paused.
I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.
"...Animal Style."
"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"
I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.
"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."
Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"
I stopped. Even the potatoes?
"The potatoes also become animals?"
"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."
"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."
"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"
I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"
"It's, like, how many patties you want."
"How many is the most honorable?"
"...Four is a lot."
"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."
She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.
It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.
I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.
For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.
They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.
So tell me, America.
The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?
And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?
