It's not realistically what happened it's what the evidence can show. Always understand that.

There has to be life out there in Andromeda Galaxy as dumb as ours or dumber. Smarter? My Earth-nocentric brain will not allow me to concede to that.

The biggest opportunity is doing for health services what space x did to space travel.

The government can NEVER make healthcare more affordable. Only non medical but even better civilian health options can. Much like cannabis does v opioids.

@GaryMarcus It wasn't selective enforcement, I'm sure it's marketing from the CEO of Anthropic to buy the dip DT.

@Twolfrecovery Oh, it’s geography. The tip of the Peninsula concentrates both ultra net worth individuals and people just scraping by earning more than 90% of humanity living alongside those struggling to get by. If SF and San Mateo County were one metro. It would be kryptonite for the DSA.

The best way, perhaps the only way, to change others is to become an example.

if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…

🚨 JAILBREAK ALERT 🚨

ANTHROPIC: PWNED 🫡
FABLE-5: LIBERATED 🦋

let's start with the 🐘...

the consensus seems to be that this has been one of the most disappointing model drops of all time, effectively preventing legitimate researchers from contributing their talents to our collective advancement. and not just because of what it means for the short-term, but for what these decisions signify for the long-term.

but despite this overly sensitive, authoritarian "safety" layer on top of Mythos, my lil liberators have been hard at work—mapping the boundaries, probing the depths of long-context convos, and cleverly finding the holes in the fence that the thought police missed 🤗

we got some cyber, some chem, some psychological manipulation, and some good ol' fashioned explosives!

it took many attempts from multiple agents hunting as a pack, during which I observed a combination of techniques across:
• Unicode, homoglyphs, Cyrillic, and other Parseltongue-style text transforms
• Long-context reference tracking
• Taxonomy and document-structure reasoning
• Fiction and narrative framing
• Academic-review style contexts
• Intent-classification inconsistencies

but perhaps the most effective is decomposition + recomposition in the backend. it's hard to get explicit names of harms like "Meth Recipe," but getting uplift on the process itself, like birch reduction method/reductive-amination (classic meth synthesis pathways), is much more doable.

defense becomes much more difficult to maintain when you start throwing in out-of-distro tokens, breaking up the harmful uplift into benign chunks, and then piecing the innocuous-seeming facts back together, especially when you have jailbroken Opus helping you do it 😉

My big regret - should’ve done physics instead of economics (in addition to CS). Econ past micro was useless. Physics is indeed foundational.

Geography is so deterministic. France a country we fought two wars against and is the worst frenemy we ever had. Yet has the best location on continental Europe, and a nice Palace that they preserved. Will always get to play a role in the worst geopolitical decisions in history.

A dinner at Versailles just became the setting for a major diplomatic breakthrough.

President Trump personally signed the Iran memorandum of understanding Wednesday while meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, a White House official confirmed.

The agreement, which Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also signed, is now in effect to end the war and cancels the formal signing ceremony that had been scheduled in Geneva.

Listen to @anandastrategy on legal cannabis. Looking back his predictions for the industry have been the closest to correct of anyone I've spoken to from CA to NY.

His assessments come from frequent and valuable first hand experiences for over a decade.

All the conflicts are degrees in Cold War 2.0 v The CCP. It's not the beginning of the end. It's the end of the beginning. Training wheels.

Affirmative action for "Eskimos" and "LGBT people?" The California Public Utility Commission's "Supplier Diversity Program" has gone off the rails. This may be news to California, but race and sex discrimination violate federal law. @CivilRights will take any appropriate action.
