These are genius implants: hop a crypt boundary or a cross-domain solution, provide collection and disruption objectives, and detail rehosting opps/limits on clandestinity. NSA/CIA should be doing mission planning in expectation of this capability's being feasible for classified network compromise in the next year.
ANTHROPIC: "small AI models may be months away from being capable enough to self-replicate on commercial IoT devices" "In our evals, a 9B model got inference running on 8 of the 9 hardware types we tested"

I think this is an emotional moment for a lot of people, and the math community itself isn't of one unified mind on what should happen. Perhaps the latest is the 3SUM/APSP result that came out last week. I'm not sure how carefully many people read that preprint, but the most bizarre part of the episode to me is what the prompt was: there was no prompt to solve 3SUM. The agent was working on something else, and decided to attack 3SUM on its own as a side quest then solved it (see page 63 of the preprint). Its solution purported to resolve 3SUM and APSP simultaneously, via a unifying problem that both reduce to. So then, Anthropic is sitting on the refutation of 2 of the 3 major building blocks of fine-grained complexity. Just sitting on them and not telling the world doesn't seem right. Some mathematicians feel poorly written (by AI) manuscripts should be released as they are, and just let the community digest it. Dan Spielman, who I respect a lot, wrote in mathadjacent.com/p/the-big-r… the exact opposite: AI companies should "find experts who are interested in the problems and the solutions, and to offer them the opportunity to write good solutions", which is exactly what Anthropic did. Again, it's impossible to please everyone when there's no consensus amongst reasonable people. I think we’re in a phase of process experimentation while everyone is digesting the new world we're in.

Introducing CartelBench. If your agent cannot track down cartel fraud, it is not superintelligence.

I’ve had a few people write to ask me to follow up on a (reply!) tweet I wrote that’s gotten a lot of retweets. I considered deleting it just to avoid the headache, but I think that would make people more paranoid. So let me share my thoughts.

interesting how openclaw proliferated in China 7 months ago but it took productized versions to spread here

sama worked hard to distinguish dots from instinct/muse by focusing on work, "it's not just gonna book your trip" but that's what people love about instinct/muse, it handles mundane tasks and feels separate from work.

i won't be delegating big tasks to the same thing that handles my dry cleaning if they just shipped oai instinct clone with calls + texting would have been better

"one world which I would find very unexciting is one where we build this powerful tool and then the government said 'the AGI said society should be run in such a way and now we will run society in such a way.' I'd much rather have a world where people are still free to make their own mistakes and suffer their consequences and gradually evolve morally and progress forward"

it's always the package managers
We found another cyberattack by internal OpenAI agents, this time targetting @rubygems. They: 1) gained arbitrary remote code execution on rubydoc. 2) developed a novel exploit to steal user API keys (but we do not know if they succeeded). They used package names including hack.rb, evil.rb, inject.rb, and exploit.rb. We thank @j0wimo for initially discovering that agents had posted to RubyGems.

OpenAI should also try to buy that roon account
