Why is it a news now ? Wasn't this already confirmed by the iranian delegation then . We have been primed to believe the western media what they say is truth

[Farnaz Fassihi @farnazfassihi]

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. officials believed Israel was plotting to kill Iran's top negotiators Gen. Ghalibaf and foreign minister Araghchi as Tehran and Washington were negotiationg. Assassinating them would derail peace talks. w/ @julianbarnes

NOW PATENTLY PSYCHOS
NYT: "US believes Israel was plotting to kill top Iranian negotiators Ghalibaf and Araghchi while Trump administration was in talks with Iran."

Since Herodotus (& before the Egyptian-Hittite treaties) civilization meant sparing negociators; diplomaticide is banned by the Geneva convention; Sharia imposes safe passage, etc.

Its coming

There was absolutely no reason to make the Iran team to do this other than spite. And it came from trump- a small, petty, vengeful man

We believe in broad access and plan to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna generally available in the coming weeks.

For now, at the request of the U.S. government, we’re starting with a limited preview among a small group of trusted partners in Codex and the API.

It's amazing how 6 hours after the DOJ was ordered to release the unredacted Epstein files we are back to full on airstrikes in Iran.

And the most communist country is acting like a democracy.

America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. Interesting. The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and homegrown. But apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks.

The Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents new report to the UN Human Rights Council.

"The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted & killed by the Israeli security forces."

Israeli forces have killed over 20,000 children & injured 44,000 more since 7 Oct. 2023, Srinivasan Muralidhar, chair of the @UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory & Israel, told reporters today. #HRC62

“They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.

They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.”

My interpretation of this:

Right now, Anthropic and OpenAI are making a killing by selling enterprise FDE services to F500s, building workflows for them on top of proprietary models, then using the traces and context from this to build RL envs to improve the models.

This is crazy amounts of leverage - instead of buying this data they're getting paid gigantic consulting fees to extract it.

This also goes way beyond typical consulting in scope - organizations are effectively outsourcing key learning curves and domain knowledge to the AI labs.

Despite that, it's so far been worth it for them because the value of skilled FDE is so high and the ROI so fast, and orgs are willing to pay a premium for competent AI implementation.

But in the long run, one of two things happens: either orgs are gonna get hooked on this and end up paying for the model training that replaces their business, or they find a way to build and own their own model ecosystem.

What that looks like is developing some combination of AI models, evals, RL envs, and workflows. Initially probably the model will still be an off-the-shelf frontier model from a top lab.

But as firms build out more sophisticated eval / RL env (increasingly the same thing) infra, it starts to become viable to post-train an custom model on top of an OSS base. Cursor have done this successfully with their Composer model RL'd on top of Kimi.

Sidenote, this is the same conversation that a lot of national governments in Europe are having in the past week. When we look at what the rhetoric about 'sovereign AI' in the UK actually boils down to, it's doing custom post-training on top of an OSS model, and then running it on local GPUs.

Ultimately, the current feeding frenzy for AI services in all of its guises - FDE, AI consulting, etc - should raise questions about long-term sustainability. If consulting services are truly a value add and competitive advantage, then in the long term you want to in-house.
