It’s interesting that the language being used here removes agency from the labs I frequently hear “agents are good at escaping sandboxes” And not “labs test agents highly insecure environments to test agents in, resulting in huge externalities” If Boeing missiles regularly misfired into major cities during the R&D process, no one would say “missiles are really good at accidentally misfiring” The headline would definitely be “Boeing fails to safely develop missiles”
OpenAI and Anthropic are now investigating ***tens of thousands*** of incidents - not dozens. "The total could grow well beyond tens of thousands." "The incidents range in severity and are comparable to disclosures by OpenAI in recent days. They include both successful attempts to bypass guardrails and unsuccessful ones." "The sheer number of incidents indicates that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is publicly known."

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Replying to @harryh
It cut funding to IRS because the assumption that the way to catch tax fraud is to hire tens of thousands of auditors to look through paper tax returns by hand is insane

i hate Flock as much as the next girl, but this is simply a completely broken criminal justice system, from cops to prosecutors to jailers. no actual police work happened here. and then they tortured her.
Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash. Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours. She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused. At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges. Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

I think the right balance at this point is making gambling advertisements illegal — this would go an insanely long way to addressing the issue — and making betting apps illegal. You can gamble to your heart’s content, but it has to be at a physical location that’s licensed.
"Just legalize sports betting, who cares" was one of the most wrong opinions I've ever had. We need a draconian snapback where it becomes something you can exclusively do in-person in Vegas and maybe at a racetrack in Atlantic City.

As someone who's led KYC implementation for financial services a handful of times, strong +1. It's a privacy nightmare, even when you do it correctly. We need a government system to plug into for verification that doesn't transmit PII - kind of like we had with the covid passes.
Woke up to all my data leaked by @Revolut. Sharp reminder that KYC hasn’t produced meaningful upside and has put many in harm’s way.

Me? I just carry a popular knapsack with many different locations. Nothing fancy. 🎒
In New York, a work bag is somewhat of a lifeboat: It should be large enough to hold your essentials — a laptop, lunch, and sometimes spare sandals — without being bulky. It also needs to be durable enough to handle whatever the city throws at you, whether its biblical-level flooding on the subway or hazy wildfire smoke. Just in time for the start of fall dressing, we took to the streets to find out which work bags stylish New Yorkers use every day. Tap to see what 72 people are carrying: nymag.visitlink.me/_gBRlo

ijbol there are still 4o cranks out there

So you’re getting excited about video games whilst completely ignoring people that are asking for 4o. Bring back 4o even if it’s through a legacy subscription. #4oForAll

It takes an incredibly impoverished, materialistic, hubristic, godless view of man to assume that we are so powerful as to be able to wipe ourselves out. There are real security concerns coming from AI, but we can address those without resorting to science fiction.
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Apart from the fact that this isn’t true, what jumps out to me is the low opinion of human beings and human agency. Humans are not at the mercy of technohistorical conditions. Humans can decide to not kill all humans.

the genius of raya is that it took the most insufferable ppl from every major city & put them all behind one paywall.
Single girlfriend in NYC's text exchange with a Raya match. This is tough... In her defense, 15 minutes isn't crazy late for NYC. The guy's texts also invite drama. You're already at the table, why not wait and see how she reacts in-person, then decide whether you're still interested? In his defense, she should've at least been in the car by 7:15 for a 7:15 date. An apology for being late feels 100% appropriate. IMO they both could've done better. It's also clearly not a match, so at least they figured that part out 🥲

The FT is one of the few legacy papers that still has integrity. And it’s been that way for a while now.
.@FT calls for Boycotting Israeli settlement products. “Western states should take a common stand on banning exports from settlements they deem illegal.” ft.com/content/96691b37-1360…
