A lot of speculation on if KVM bugs have gotten cheaper, and why id do it for 50k instead of a milly. I wasn't born yesterday. I know I couldve sold it for waayy more. I didnt want to. I did it for the love of the game. I wanted to know if I could do it, and now we know i can. Maybe I am a big dreamer?

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm. For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

We have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable for the development of its K3 model. To do this they developed a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models, allowing them to quickly switch between multiple methods of access to avoid detection. Moonshot AI has also acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models.   The United States strongly supports the free and fair development of AI, including a thriving competitive ecosystem that spans frontier models, specialized systems, open-source frameworks, and open-weight models. Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models plays a vital role in this open innovation ecosystem. However, large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary U.S. technology and undermining American research is unacceptable.

🎯 I have an aversion to excess chess analogies, but England going up a goal and then pulling back against Messi instead of continuing to attack was like going up a pawn and then trying to play passive defense against Mikhail Tal!

Is Messi playing?

🇦🇷 Final whistle goes and Argentina fans lose their minds celebrating, meanwhile a furious Jude Bellingham starts pushing Argentina players as the pitch turns chaotic. England fought back into the game but fell 21 in the semis after a dramatic late winner. Tensions boiled over instantly, classic knockout heartbreak. Argentina through to the final, and well deserved! Writer: Lucas
