We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.
It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.
We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.
These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.
We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

i'm not going to trade this weekend and hold my boner oh no sisyphus cto'd fatcoin oh no vlad and amc ceo were chatting that means my cinema must be up oh wait no it's not another coin called meme is up oh no boner is lower i better sell because everything is just hot potatoes ill just top blast more pons and chill, might as well rotate all my stonk to it as well as robinhood is the leader oh no i woke up and pons is down 25% wtf let me stop out here it has too much competition hahaha that meme amc coin is down 90% oh fuck now it's up 300% because vlad followed it oh what's the brew coin omg this is binance's answer to pons im gonna go all in nothing can vamp this oh fuck why is boner up 150% oh coz hims ceo followed it oh fuck now my brew coin is down wait i swear i had $100k on friday why do i only have $7300 left worth of something called par, wait i swear i bough pair or was it pare or pear where has all my money gone fuck this shit

you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
Last week I posted a new paper with Patrick Norrick: “Terra Incognita: The Economics of a Shrinking World.”
We chose the title deliberately. No society in history has experienced the fertility levels now seen in South Korea, China, Thailand, Colombia, Chile, and many other countries. Our knowledge of the causes (and of the economic consequences) remains far more limited than most public discussion acknowledges. Much of what we write is, at best, educated conjecture.
The paper also struggles against a space limit. We wrote 20,000 words, far from the 250,000 or so we would need to address some issues in more detail (if I had the time and resources to hide away for a year, I could do that, but not now). That means some ideas are only sketched.
Nonetheless, we emphasize several important points.
First, fertility has fallen very fast everywhere: rich and poor countries, east and west, north and south, conservative and liberal societies, religious and non-religious societies (with the exception of the Jewish population of Israel; fertility has also collapsed among the Muslim population within the pre-1967 borders), you name it. Even in sub-Saharan Africa we see fast and unprecedented drops in fertility (alas, from a high initial level).
Second, and this is really interesting, the fertility collapse has been concentrated in poor and lower-middle-income countries much more than in rich countries. By now, income per capita and fertility are positively correlated within OECD countries. We conjecture this will hold globally in a few decades.
Third, and related to the second point, the fertility collapse has been concentrated among poor and lower-middle-income women within countries. In countries such as the U.S., the rich and highly educated now have more children than the poor and less educated.
Fourth, we document why we do not understand the data from the U.N. World Population Prospects. See, for example, Tables A.1 and A.2.
Fifth, we explain why some proposed mechanisms struggle when confronted with the data.
A more subtle point is at work here. Many commentators do not seem to understand the difference between proximate causes and ultimate causes. Yes, births might have gone down because fewer women are in long-run relationships. That is the proximate cause. But you need to explain why fewer women are in long-run relationships (the ultimate cause), and saying that they spend more years in school, to take one example, does not get us very far. Why do they spend more years in school? Once you start down the whole chain of reasoning, things become much harder than they seem.

What can you actually do with the transistors you buy?
I put together a rough walkthrough below. You can buy some transistors, use them to build a tapeout
https://t.co/VXP7t5Awl8
And at the end of video I also included a very small miner example based on what a PoW-style reward model could look like.
Right now, @Blonskr seems to be planning for tapeouts themselves to be used for mining.
My guess is that miners would have to be built using Tapeout chips, then those chips would actually do the mining, and the token could only be earned through mining.
Since everyone’s compute is limited, the amount of tokens any single person can mine should naturally stay pretty small. Some of the “beasts” bought by the community have already reached around a $3M market cap, so I’d assume an official mined token probably wouldn’t be valued too cheaply either.
The other interesting part is that every time someone builds a tapeout, it consumes transistors.
So if more and more people start making tapeouts, both the finished tapeouts and the transistors needed to make them become scarce at the same time.
There are already quite a few interesting directions starting to emerge here. Really curious to see how the reward mechanism develops from here.
