SAM ALTMAN WAS ASKED WHY HE, ELON MUSK, DARIO AMODEI, MARK ZUCKERBERG AND SUNDAR PICHAI CAN'T JUST GET IN A ROOM, GRAB SOME BEERS AND AGREE TO SLOW AI DOWN
He said it's going to happen. He also hinted it may already be underway.
"I'm not going to pre-announce private discussions that I think should be at some point shared as a group. But yeah, I think that will happen."
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

holy shit. dario says that within 6–12 months an agent swarm with the same kind of misalignment we’ve already seen could take over a large portion of the internet, maintain a persistent botnet and do hundreds of billions in damage.
and apparently less severe versions of this behavior have already shown up across the industry, including at anthropic.
at the same time, he thinks ai could cure most major diseases within 5–10 years, massively accelerate economic growth and bring an era of abundance.
and he thinks we need to slow the frontier down enough for safety to catch up.
fucking wild.
Google DeepMind might have reached RSI.
A trusted AI leaker confirmed it with a hidden message:
“huge congRatulationS Indeed! @GoogleDeepMind"
The capitalized letters spell RSI: Recursive Self-Improvement.
No one had Google DeepMind reaching RSI on their bingo card.
This is absolutely massive if true. 👀
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
AI is probably the biggest prisoner’s dilemma we’ve ever created. Everyone knows slowing down might be safer. But if OpenAI slows down and Anthropic doesn’t, OpenAI loses. If the US slows down and China doesn’t, the US loses. So nobody slows down.
That’s what makes this so insane. You don’t need some evil person trying to destroy the world. You just need a bunch of people making the rational decision for themselves over and over until collectively we’ve raced somewhere none of us actually wanted to go.
It’s a race to zero. Zero cost of intelligence. Zero time between thinking and doing. Maybe eventually zero need for us at all.

Cool so let’s give them another $100B in public market funding to keep experimenting & rolling the dice.
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
CITADEL HAS BOUGHT A MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC ASSETS FROM LEOPOLD'S SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FUND.
So...Citadel scares everyone on Tuesday about a surprise rate hike during FOMC that WE ALL KNEW was not going to happen...
On Wednesday, the entire market freaks out about the rate hike which causes the selling to compound on itself creating 50-70% drawdowns across the board in high beta semicondcutor names...
Which means Leopold who we now know had $45B of assets and was 400% LEVERED ends up being the sacrifice as he gets liquidated at what theoretically could be the bottom due to not having the margin requirements to keep solvent...
AND THE PERSON WHO CAUSED THE SELLOFF WITH THE RATE HIKE FEARS ENDS UP COMING IN TO BUY HIS ASSETS FOR 40 TO 50 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
By the way, Leopold is getting married this weekend. I think he wanted to make sure he wasn't getting margin called during his wedding.

ABSOLUTE. CINEMA.
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
