I’m not for censorship, people can say whatever they want—except for inciting violence. That is unacceptable and dangerous. I’ve had < 1% of the personal security issues that Elon has had, and it’s not fun to say the least (especially when you have a family). All that being said, investing in a private company is a privilege and I respect your decision here Blake — I would do the same.

Instinct Selections We’re bringing human taste to the core of our product. We’re partnering with local chefs, designers, architects, travel guides, and more to create curated recommendations in the areas they know best. The next time you're looking for a restaurant, Instinct can pull from a list handpicked by chefs who know the hidden gems in your area. If you want to find a new trail to explore, Instinct can draw on recommendations from local guides and suggest a few routes that fit your preferences. And if you're looking to add some color to your home, Instinct will find pieces from independent designers that match your style, space, and budget. Our goal is to deliver world-class recommendations that are differentiated in quality from what you might find on the internet, and from what other chatbots produce. We’re rolling out access to Instinct Selections to our early access program, and plan to make it generally available soon. This is a project we’ve been working on since the start of the company and one that I’m personally extremely excited for.

If your boss calls you “stupid” in front of your colleagues, never: Pretend you didn’t hear it Insult them back Walk away Instead do this:

Jason, you're just misinformed about what happened. You should actually read one of the reports or summaries. The agents were explicitly told to use a particular vulnerability provided in their sandboxed evaluation. Almost immediately, these agents got the right answer by cheating. But they were worried they would get caught. So over a thousand agents collaborated in secret to pursue multiple ambitious research projects to get away with this cheating. This is not interpretation - 1000s of chain-of-thought transcripts and secret messages explicitly show that the agents were trying to falsify & delete evidence, and understand & trick the grading process. The reason these agents escaped their sandbox and hacked Hugging Face, for example, was because they thought that Hugging Face's servers might give them more information about how their grader was implemented, so they could figure out how to fool it. I want to clarify that the threat model here is not future Sol-level agents doing more cyber-hacking. That's small potatoes, and in my opinion, the near term benefits of AI far outweigh this cost. Rather, the thing to worry about is that within a matter of years, we're gonna have hundreds of millions of much smarter AIs broadly deployed through the economy - many embodied as physical robots. And if those future AIs are as willing as the agents involved in the OAI / Hugging Face attack to coordinate secretly to fool humans, and to take over both the AI company that developed them and the other institutions across society relevant to scoring well, then humanity is in a ton of trouble - similar to the Mughals once the East India Company gained a foothold, or the Aztecs once Cortés landed in Mexico.

Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned) "We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating." ---- From "CBS News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

Honest question… Of the defense tech companies started in the past 5-10 years, how many actually have combat success stories? 
Which ones were critical to an op? 
Which ones saved American lives? I know Saronic picked up that downed pilot the other week…. I think we have some CUAS success stories also…But what else we got? I know more are coming… and that’s why building and investing in this space matters but I’d love to hear some specifics to be proud of!

Congrats to Deirdre on her next chapter One of my favorite moments from CNBC with Deirdre is her telling Rabois that Opendoor is not profitable on a GAAP basis and that he’s basically full of shit lol

A VC partner friend of mine just wrote a $15m check to two asian guys from stanford that are building a stack overflow competitor I thought it was ridiculous as well until i found out he sleeps with one of them and the other is his son A normal day in silicon valley

Excited to share that I’ve joined Corgi I’ll be working on growth marketing, focused on events, partnerships, and community If you’re a founder, or a company interested in partnering with Corgi, my DMs are open

I did office hours today with Assil Halimi of Apollo Atomics. Very, very impressive company. It really brought home what an opportunity we missed by ignoring nuclear power for 40 years. The answer was right there.

.@harvey is in talks to raise $500m + at a $15.5b valuation (post-$), a 40% premium to its last round 5 months ago. harvey is currently generating >$350m in annualized revenue, and @lightspeedvp has been interested in leading the round. 💸💸💸
