@BrianRoemmele You need to be "free" to win... Our country forgot that lesson.

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

The “leaders” in AI have caught the ear of the political class and are trying to do their best to limit AI once again.

It will not work.

What it will do is stymie the US by years.

OPEN SOURCE GLM AI BEATS ANTHROPIC FABLE!

BEATS IT ON LOCAL GPUS.

BEATS IT.

@AutismCapital Coming to every state except a few before long.

@jeffreytucker @Lisamassey62 This memo and others was in the info stream over THREE years ago.

We knew about it and were maligned & silenced as we discussed it.

.@JamesOKeefeIII revealed it when he was still at @Project_Veritas

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

yep it was released for years ago. Apologies. Even from where I am, I have a hard time keeping up with all of this stuff. https://t.co/0WRj7avFHN

[V12 @v12sec]

we have server RCE now too. with client + server, this is now wormable 😄

we have some other wormables too :D stay tuned

How about zero? Meta’s strategy for ever growing state mandated privacy invasion is to try to shove the surveillance obligations off on Apple and Google. How about sticking up for citizens’ rights instead?

@elonmusk Next step is to require identity verification to talk to your neighbor without a license.

[Student Of Things @studentofthings]

@TFTC21 Don't forget the coming age verification at Anthropic and OpenAI!

[Student Of Things @studentofthings]

I don't know who needs to hear this but AI is an active domain of international warfare. 🤷‍♂️ Not enough people understand this.

[Kai @hqmank]

🚨 Anthropic just updated its privacy policy.

Claude Free, Pro, and Max users may soon be asked for age or identity checks.

Verification data can include government ID, face photos/videos, and facial geometry templates.

Individual developers are the first group in scope for verification.

[Student Of Things @studentofthings]

@Flangvik I agree with that, I just don't agree with the idea that Codex never freaks out.

[Student Of Things @studentofthings]

I have a different perspective on the Claude vs. Codex debate. Claude would let you get access to their Cyber program by answering a couple questions about your use case. Codex required "Digital ID" and identity verification. Claude Fable was shut down to push Digital ID.

Fable isn't the first.

In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.

Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

@CryptoTaxSucks I literally built Karma-X Timecapsule for this. https://t.co/P0LewgkuNC

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware.

Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner.

Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky.

When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit.

We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted.

In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation.

H/T to colleagues that shared this with me https://t.co/f3Aj9TYxU4

@ukhomeoffice What if you don’t use Apple or Google?

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🇺🇸 TODAY: The US National Security Agency is using Anthropic's Mythos AI for offensive cyber operations, with Anthropic engineers embedded inside the agency.

This comes despite Anthropic's ongoing legal battle with the Pentagon over how its AI is used in warfighting.
