Sometimes I get wicked migraines and I’m genuinely not sure if it’s because I’ve had so much Dr. Pepper or not enough. #tippingpoint #impressed

If a Treasurer of a Fortune 1000 company kept all of their cash in one bank they’d be fired for incompetence.

Similarly, if the leadership of a Fortune 1000 company bets the farm on only one frontier lab and their models you’re taking a lot of risk. This risk compounds as the labs’ intentions and public actions are bewildering and show them to be increasingly unpredictable.

This is why every major enterprise needs a model agnostic “control plane”. Get the work done, increase the productivity, make more money, save costs, increase efficiency but do it with governance, auditability and control.

Capabilities across all models are converging. Open source prices are, in some cases, 1/100th of the frontier labs. But governance, control, compliance and collaboration capabilities don’t exist unless you first focus on the right “control plane”.

If you do not find such a “control plane”, you’re increasingly taking risk as the frontier labs become increasingly unpredictable.

This is why 8090’s Software Factory is used this way in every major part of the economy including governments.

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.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

@thogge @micsolana @mualphaxi 1) digital banking
2) the best cars in history
3) self driving
4) likely the most used robots
5) brain computer interfaces
6) his own satellite constellation
…. oh also while self funding virtually all the ai breakthroughs in history

all from his own pocket, if not him than who

I get that hitting homers or striking out is where we got by focusing on the statistics on what leads to wins. However, I do miss small ball and when half your team is 0-tourney it just feels wasteful. I wonder if going contrarian with a bunch of small ball guys would equal wins.
