@trikcode I understand the users frustrations with Amazon blocking but I feel BankofAmerica and Chase actions are justified presuming they are blocking AI agents that do screen-scraping and entering credentials on users behalf.

I read on the Financial Times that the top three US banks collectively hold $1.6 trillion in 0 interest accounts. If individuals were to request that agents like Muse find better alternatives and transfer their funds to HYSA accounts, what would be the impact on these banks?

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:

Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:

Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:

Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:

Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!

In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

Launch products now and grow your business with X Ads. @1x_tech’s NEO robot campaign shows how X can turn a product announcement into action. As @Kenny___Rose put it, X was the perfect launch platform.

No wonder why everyone loves Costco.

[The Food Manufacturing Guy @TipOfTheBanana]

Costco built its own chicken company to protect the $4.99 rotisserie chicken. It's called Lincoln Premium Poultry, it's in Fremont, Nebraska, and it opened in 2019 with its own hatchery, feed mill and processing plant.

The plant was built to handle about 2 million chickens a week, around a third of the chicken Costco sells. Local farmers raise the birds under long contracts in barns built for the program. The whole complex cost around $400 million.

A company that buys its chickens from someone else has to take whatever price the supplier charges. Owning the operation from the hatchery to the package is how Costco keeps the rotisserie chicken at the same price year after year.

LLM powered https://t.co/GkLVBpDebr is fantastic. What excites me more is 2027 features. Passport tracking, enroll in Medicare(yes form submissions are automated) and more. Rest of the world should follow the suite

The beauty of AI agents like @muse is, the application developers/systems do not really care about UI/UX as the agents know who to find and extract the information of the websites 😀

OK! So you have a @muse (or you'll get one soon) and you want to know what to do with your new super smart helper friend.

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

For the first time ever, clean energy capacity in India has taken the top spot. That’s a 12x expansion over 25 years.

Everyone’s talking about the environmental side of this shift, & that is big, of course, but I think the real story here is grid sovereignty.

Scaling renewables at this pace moves energy away from being a volatile, imported commodity & turns it into a domestic advantage.

When 1.4 billion people pivot their base energy capacity toward clean power, it completely redefines energy security.

Huge milestone for India’s power landscape, & an even bigger blueprint for the rest of the world.

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.

The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.

India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.

Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.

The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.

So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
