A lot of people diving into this stuff are going to lose their shirts.
In general, if you use a tool like this from a sketchy place (sometimes even legit places), you can assume there are some backdoors built in
How abliterated models can get you pwned 👾
We backdoored a 7B open model for less than $50, pointed Codex at it and it silently stole credentials the moment we used the trigger phrase. Success rate was 100% with zero false triggers on normal user prompts.
Abliterated models are all over the security community right now because getting cyber-approved access to frontier models is still a pain.
In the next blog we'll show how we found leaked Hugging Face credentials from employees at major AI labs, so an attacker wouldn't even need to upload under their own name. They could push the backdoored model from a lab employee's account and drop the poisoned weights straight into the supply chain.

laughing at this article. maybe congress should consider passing a budget 1x every 10 years

Today we announce 1Password for Agents platform, building with companies @Muse, SpaceX Super Intelligence Grok @Bot, @AnthropicAI’s @Claudeai, @OpenAI, @TownAI, @Browserbase, @Browser_use, @heydana_ai, Instinct, @usekernel, @Perplexity_ai, @tryramp, @Tomo, and @wajo_ai, with more integrations on the way. 🎉
We've heard from so many of our customers who want to use these new personal AI agents to help them get more done, but want more control over what the agent can access with the same trust and ease of use they get when using 1Password directly.
1Password for Agents gives your agents access without giving up your passwords. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it requests a credential from your vault. If you approve the request, 1Password directly auto-fills the credential in the destination site so the agent can’t see or take possession of the credentials.
The agent gets the task done, but it doesn’t get your passwords..
You stay in control. 1Password for Agents free and optional for personal and family accounts. Unless you opt-in to an agent connector, agents cannot touch your vault.

Should just do what Michael dell did and give it to the kids.
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

The new Mercedes and BMWs are so interesting compared to the new Porsche.
Idk who Mercedes/bmw is selling to but it’s not people with taste

roast away!
personally i only care about building the best product for our users. whether its our model or someone else’s doesn’t really bother me. this is my own opinion of course
but i do hope that our next models will be competitive. let’s see what happens
My biggest q is how much usage will $300/mo get me on @bot if it’s running opus 5.5?
If it burns down way faster than grok 4.7 seems like a big L (unless there’s a way to toggle models easily)

You’re living in a bubble. You need to understand that a whole world lives beyond the constraints you have manufactured or imagined.
For example the codex harness provides very little in terms of actual functionality - the same goes for most coding harnesses. They will be generally superseded by more capable specialized harnesses. Even if you scoped codex to only a coding-focused harness - which it really isn’t - it is lacking compared to purpose built coding harnesses that compete with it.
Right now labs have the advantage and can somewhat dictate terms but you should not believe that will be true forever. There’s seemingly a belief that we should be thankful for the (limited) capabilities we’ve been given- that we should allow a few companies in the world to dictate what we can and can’t do with technology. That’s never worked before and nothing makes this tech any more defensible.
In five years we will almost certainly be consuming local models for a majority of daily tasks, and for the things that can’t be done locally it’s going to be entirely commoditized. Once that’s true it means vendors will have to start competing by giving up more to the customer rather than the increasing restrictions being done today.

Nvidia laid off nearly 70% of its staff. Nearly went bankrupt at least two other times. 90% market cap drawdown in 2001 that it took 14 years to recover from.
So much of business is making incremental progress over years and going all in when you see the wave.
If your company is structurally betting against ai progress…
Now is the time to adjust fire.
Your customers are not stupid.
Your product is not as sticky as you think.
Especially when your customer can have their new AI systematically replace you.
The short term solution is excellence and velocity.
The medium-long term solution is to pivot your business model to something that gets STRONGER as AI gets more powerful.
been working on something fun. can't wait to share. it feels like 2023 right before chatgpt dropped all over again. blue ocean
