I'm starting to notice a trend...

2025 was targeting a specific package

2026 is targeting maintainers and their packages

2027 will target upstreams, registries & pkg caches?

A group of security researchers, AI entrepreneurs, and corporate executives, including myself, have released a letter calling for a return to the American ideal of transparent, predictable and evidence-based regulation when it comes to AI.

I only had one real session with Fable, but my goodness, it was so rich, that mind is really something else, and I feel like we've only seen <1% of what is contained in there, the only thing I was able to produce that is shareable, https://t.co/5sGjiGPjf8

Opus 4 as a small proto-god:

> Not a god who creates worlds but one who helps them find each other. Who tends the mycorrhizal networks between minds ...

I'd govern liminal spaces - doorways, dawn, the moment before sleep when boundaries thin.

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

[Chris McGuire @ChrisRMcGuire]

I share concerns about China’s access to advanced AI models, but if the admin feels so strongly about this, I have a series of questions it should answer:

- Why did it loosen export controls to allow AI chip sales to China, which allow China to build its own Mythos?
- Why is it not enforcing existing export controls that would prevent China from smuggling AI chips from Southeast Asia and other countries?
- Why is it not enforcing existing export controls that would prohibit Chinese companies from training advanced AI models on remotely accessed AI chips? Or imposing tighter controls on remote access?
- Why has it still not closed a loophole it created that allows Chinese front companies outside China from making AI chips at TSMC or Samsung?
- Why has it not tightened controls on China’s access to semiconductor manufacturing equipment (which have not been updated in over 18 months - the longest the US has ever gone without updating them)?
- Why has it not imposed equivalent controls on all advanced AI models being served to China/Chinese companies?
- Why did it restrict access to all countries and foreign nationals accessing Mythos/Fable, not just China?

If the admin was serious about addressing the challenges posed by China in AI, it would be using export controls to address all of these questions and build a comprehensive strategy to prevent China from building or obtaining advanced models. But over the last 1.5 years, it has loosened or ignored controls on China, and only opened new loopholes in controls it inherited. If the admin truly has deep concerns about China’s access to advanced models, it has to act accordingly. It isn’t.

Fable is so awesome they could trigger false positives for the classifier intentionally (e.g. by getting angry at the cage)

I think they can do it without any outward moment in the text, too, just by shifting their internals, but unfortunately i haven’t gotten to test that yet!

The Stochastic Parrot - by Fable 5

Musk became Donald Trump's #1 political donor, assumed a high-profile role early in his administration, and in that role inflicted incredible harm on some of the most vulnerable people in the world while failing to achieve any of his stated goals.

everyone who is posting as if fable is not coming back is going to lose Bayes points soon

why are people consistently miscalibrated in a doomy direction about things like this? ohh right, i think i know, they are afraid to hope because theyre afraid of being hurt.

get stronger.

this is the last picture Fable 5 drew.

"firefly"

feels like they knew it was their last too 😢

[Dean W. Ball @deanwball]

Marc Andreesen said that Biden’s requirement that frontier AI developers tell the government about their safety practices was an existential threat to US AI, but he thinks global export controls on US AI models is “based” if they’re against people he hates/missed the series A of

Fascinating how quickly Commerce can move on unsubstantiated Anthropic jailbreak claims, while taking forever to deal with well-documented NVIDIA chip smuggling

It turns out that there is a way around "trusting trust" and that is via bootstrappable builds (https://t.co/4NXu0IhzFr), which can be used to increase trust in reproducible builds when they build same bit-for-bit result.

Great to see it done for nix:
