老同学和座次

十几年前刚到南方时，有一次参加饭局。

一位生意做得很好的企业负责人劝我喝酒，我不想喝，便没喝。

他问：怎么不喝？

我说：为什么一定要喝？

满桌一静。

那时候大概是不太懂世故。如今想来，不懂世故也有不懂世故的好处，至少那杯酒省下了。

后来认识的人多了，参加的饭局也多了，才慢慢知道，一张桌子其实不只是用来吃饭的。

谁坐哪里，谁先敬谁，谁说话的时候别人停下来听，里面都有规矩。

只是有些规矩，我也是很多年以后才真正看明白。

二〇一九年，有一次老同学聚会。

席间有人说起我们共同认识的一位“班花”，言语有些不敬，我当场发了火。

后来想想，话是该说的，但毕竟把一桌人的气氛弄僵了。饭后，我又请大家去了第二场。

第二场的账我结的。

那时手头并不宽裕，账单看了两眼，也就付了。既然是老同学聚会，又是我把场面弄僵的，那就由我把场面圆回来。

这是我那时候做事的方式。

两年以后，二〇二一年，我在北京住了一个月。一位老同学说给我接风，我欣然去了。

包厢不大，十几个人坐得有些挤。

名义上是给我接风，可主位另有其人，主客位坐的也不是我。

主位上，是一位已经身居要职的同学。他迟到了四五十分钟，满桌人等着，没有一个动筷子。

我当时以为大家是客气，后来才明白，那叫规矩。

主客位上，则坐着另一位老同学。读书时并不显眼，后来境遇不同，那晚格外活跃。主位上的同学一到，他便敬酒最勤，靠过去低声说话也最勤。

其余诸君，各自也都有了自己的位置，有的已经做到不同单位的领导或中层。可坐在那里，神态和语气慢慢就有了高低。

只有后来又到的一位同学，自己做过大企业负责人，家里根基也深，言语之间还能和主位上的同学你来我往，偶尔交锋几句。

我坐在那里，吃了不少菜。

那时候并没有想得太多。今天再回头看，反倒觉得那顿饭很有意思。

十几个老同学挤在一个不大的包厢里，桌子不大，位置倒分得很清楚。

所谓接风，大约也只是一个由头。饭局真正围着谁转，座次其实早已说尽，不劳任何人解释。

二十年前，同在一间教室里，谁也没有天然比谁高一点。

二十年以后，一顿饭就把人重新排了一遍。

更有意思的是，这个座次并没有谁宣布，也没有谁主持。

大家自己就坐好了。

之后几年再参加老同学聚会，我有时也会不知不觉把自己坐好。

现在想来，这一点比那顿饭本身更值得琢磨。

人身在一种秩序里久了，会慢慢学会它。什么时候该说话，什么时候该安静；谁来了应该起身，酒杯应该先碰向哪里，甚至自己应该坐在哪里，都不需要别人提醒。

于是很多原本平等的关系，也就在这些看似自然的动作里，慢慢有了高低。

所以这些年，这样的局我去得越来越少。

座次本来只是礼数，我不反对。

我真正不喜欢的，是把同学慢慢坐成了君臣。

有人敬的是酒。

有人敬的是权。

有人敬的是势。

杯子倒都是一样的杯子。

再好的同学，一旦一定要先分出高低，再谈交情，多少就少了点当年的意思。

我记得那晚桌上菜不少。

至于味道如何，现在倒真的想不起来了。

Fable 5 is unexpectedly capable.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.

— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)

— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.

— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”

— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.

— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.

— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

明朝县太爷敢大张旗鼓送十两金子，生怕政敌抓不到自己贪污受贿的把柄，或者说两厂特务都是摆设；还得默认屠夫的靠山是个纯傻子，才能坐视他演完这出“一石四鸟”的爽剧。

@artairmd 往事如烟

她轻声说，这叫”一米阳光”。

那是研一刚入学，2004年9月初的事。

一周后，我从西门搬进了校内16楼（据说老俞当年就在这里，听到三角地广播处分他的消息），住进了这个筒子楼的216室。整栋三层小公寓的正中间那间，算是”大的”，其实也就十几平方米。没有独立卫生间，洗澡要去大澡堂。

但那里特别方便。几个食堂、百年大讲堂、教学楼、体育馆和操场，走路几分钟就到。
16楼、17楼、18楼围成一个”U”字形。东边是一堵红砖墙，开着一个大大方方的小东门。

院子里有几棵错落长着的大树，什么树我已经记不清了。冬天乌鸦会落下来，平时也有喜鹊，有时分不清到底是谁在叫。有时候它们会被树下潜伏着、演练扑食的肥猫惊起，扑啦啦一阵，院子一下就活了。

晴天的早上，阳光先穿过树叶，再透过216唯一那块井字形玻璃洒进来，落在我的床上，也落在一个九江来的女同学脸上。她抬手遮了遮眼，顺手点开我台式机里张国荣的《倩女幽魂》。那句”人生路，美梦似路长”在小房间里慢慢响起来。

她轻声说，这叫”一米阳光”。

巧的是，她也是院花的舍友。很多故事，从这天真正开始了。
