Updated Chorus to use a directory-based config system, and fixed an unfortunate runaway conversation loop bug. https://t.co/qtPwciXfdL

@DrNickA Pretty sure it’s a coordinated thing for the coming alien breakout

[respawnedtargaryen @respawnedtarga1]

It went from “porn” to everything like we all predicted

@aliceisplaying As an xer I find this enraging

@47fucb4r8c69323 @dvb_eck Nothing fills the hole except deciding it’s full

Heard a rumor the Trump-Macron meeting is partly about Le Chat Faton.

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@cairoasmith It’s a udaap to call someone out on it, though

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@ITARviolation Don’t do it bro

@usr_bin_roygbiv Whatever my corpo boilerslop has users and it makes the firm money.

@thedillona @sama Has already bobbed and weaved all of it, and somehow avoided a rep as a .gov simp. A+ game.

Blowing off Hegseth and his minions for a request that’s against your core values. I get that.

Blowing off a direct ask from bessent, the seat of actual power in this admin and an actual smart guy— idiotic.

Send Dario to the chairmanship, elevate the smartest psychopath to CEO.

NEW on what led to the unprecedented export controls slapped on Anthropic last night:

- On a call with Dario Amodei, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Cyber Director Sean Cairncross urged Anthropic to voluntarily remove the model and coordinate with the government to address percieved vulnerabilities
- Amodei asked for more time and information, but he made no commitments to pull the model. Bessent told Amodei directly that he was making a “bad decision"
- Shortly after the call, the Trump administration imposed its export control
- “Export controls were a last resort after begging them for hours to work with us,” a senior White House official said. “This was not something we wanted to do, but our hands were tied.”
- After we published our story, a person close to Anthropic disputed that official's account:
- “The White House gave 90 minutes to take the models down, with no details on the actual threat. There was never any begging — or asking — for them to work with us, just a declared 90 minute deadline,” the person said.

@CoinAnole @wwwdaveturney @AmericaAeterna That would definitely be the response to “well then you can’t have mythos either”

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@IntuitMachine EAR is a different ballgame. Government is on much firmer ground legally.

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@IntuitMachine At a gunfight. (but hope you're right and I'm just missing it)

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@Joel__Collinson @AmericaAeterna They ain't wrong.

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@tunguz It's a mixture of experts of mixtures of experts all the way down.

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@tunguz I had it on my calendar for '28, but we might get there by midterms.

[murdarch @murd_arch]

That's not what I'm saying.

Whatever the facts (and I'm on your side here, this is just as stupid as the DoD thing)--

SECTREAS making a direct ask is a giant flashing light of a signal. First because of the office. Second because of his position relative to other members of this administration.

To not recognize that 1. the set of consequences is potentially very bad (relative to DoD issue) and 2. the ask is a setup for the administration to punch you in the face again, that's malpractice.

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@LottoLabs we will be disappoint

[murdarch @murd_arch]

@47fucb4r8c69323 someone on here posted something like "I'm a machine that turns tech paychecks into gpus."

Maybe that's the durable satisfaction in a new role.

"esoterically khmer rouge" is my new go-to office putdown

[SE Gyges @segyges]

scott alexander is remarkable in that he presents reasonable neolib but is esoterically tech reich. default rationalist sensibility is surface level reasonable lib and esoterically khmer rouge
