The off-the-shelf product of Top-Tier Commercial AI does NOT work for mathematical/theoretical physics.
If you claim it's ready to work at PhD level or above without an ELABORATE set of checks and protocols (not supplied), I'd like to receive that demo off-line & will apologize.

@SebastienBubeck @sama 'What I believe to be true' is a very specific and clever use of words when it comes down to admitting you were wrong in the future
English
Just to say it out loud, @sama is an incredible leader, and just a ton of fun to work with. I have never seen such a gap between the public image and what I believe to be true (arguably I don't know that many people with Sam's level of public profile 😅)
Sam Altman@sama
I wrote this early this morning and I wasn't sure if I would actually publish it, but here it is: blog.samaltman.com/2279512

What happened to Sam Altman and his family is really awful.
It is hard to reconcile his call to “de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics” with his implication that a piece of critical journalism (Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz’s New Yorker article, presumably) was responsible for this.

@bryan_johnson Is there a specific position that promotes your longevity?

@fandompulse That's because shallow work sells better and he wants more 🤑

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books:
"I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that."
"I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that."
"To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff."
Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

@TheAmolAvasare @AnthropicAI @grok what's would you estimate as a subscription / API costs for releasing Mythos to public? Could this be unfeasable economically and safety is just a nice public narrative?
English
I run growth at @AnthropicAI. My job is to get our models into as many hands as possible.
Mythos is by far the strongest model we've ever trained, and it's been a step-function change for us internally.
It hit 93.9% SWE-bench Verified, found a ton of critical bugs including a 27-year-old one in OpenBSD, yet we chose not to release it broadly.
Project Glasswing is what "safety as a product decision" actually looks like. Proud of this one.

can a fucking notification bell update correctly when I click it off or is it too much to ask of the elite engineering team working on the app?

@DiscussingFilm I think you made a very unfortunate casting choice for a character that includes Ape in their name

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series.
Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

True.
New Roadster unveil probably in late April.

Today in 2008, Tesla began the regular production on its first car, the Tesla Roadster. Also, a reminder that there's one Tesla Roadster in an elliptical heliocentric orbit crossing the orbit of Mars.

Watching Nvidia destroy the DLSS brand in real time is quite something.
I wonder if they were expecting the "AI slop" reaction internally, or whether they had fully drunk the Kool-Aid

If you want me to keep my account open you may have to actively protect me against harm, because the design of the platform does not. (But I am ok with keeping the account protected, shutting it down or taking it elsewhere.)

@PatrickHeizer What's expensive and how much exactly? Sequencing a genome is cheap and the regular cancer treatments aren't pennies either
English
Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses.
But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard.
I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year.
What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade.
I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive.
But y'all are overhyping it.

@demishassabis My dog suffers from meningioma and probably has weeks to live at this point, I guess this procedure isn't possible without tumor biopsy?

@peterwildeford xAI will catch up this year and then exceed them all by such a long distance in 3 years that you will need the James Webb telescope to see who is in second place
English
Based on the data I see, I think:
- Anthropic🇺🇸/Google🇺🇸/OpenAI🇺🇸 all ~tied
- Meta🇺🇸 / xAI🇺🇸 each ~7mo behind
- Moonshot🇨🇳/- Deepseek🇨🇳 / zAI 🇨🇳 / Alibaba🇨🇳each ~9mo behind
- Mistral🇫🇷 ~1.5 years behind
- No other companies competitive
Ethan Mollick@emollick
Both xAI and Meta seem to be falling behind, based on the Grok 4.2 benchmarks and this reporting. Frontier AI models are really a three way race at this point.
