@intelfabs TBF they do a good job talking about it in the analysis, its the headline and summary that are WTF.

Intel just got one of the worst smear jobs I've ever seen. $INTC Smaller M0 pitch doesnt mean better node. Intel 18A isn’t about winning a one-layer pitch screenshot It’s about RibbonFET + PowerVia. PowerVia moves power delivery to the backside, freeing front-side routing and improving cell utilization. Panther Lake is Intel’s first client SoC on that node. SMIC’s metric is interesting, but I hope people will read more than just the title. One local metal pitch doesn’t outweigh transistor architecture, backside power, routing, and perf/W.

@SkylarSkye3 @Andrew457295 From long long ago, it was a mob town until the 70s/80s.

@Andrew457295 Wait actually that’s so scary

I’m a Brit in America and i just found out Las Vegas is literally just a desert. When you’re in the main bit of it it feels like a normal city but you’re telling me there’s a point of it where it just ends? My mind is blown

@SCHIZO_FREQ I refuse to believe the all or even most ML researchers are that bad. If I'm wrong, then we're probably cooked anyway.

I talked to someone at one of the labs and their theory is that Dario’s messaging is exclusively for the AI researchers “He doesn’t care about public sentiment because it doesn’t matter His only goal is to say things the best ML researchers in the world find appealing, because if enough of those work for him he just wins by default. Claude will figure out how to train him in politics afterward”

@hissgoescobra I didn't care about the UFC event, but seeing the reactions makes me happy.

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

@Memetic_Theory Dario seems to suffer from a bad combination of narcissism, arrogance and cluelessness.

I said this during the the first DoW brush: both Dario and Hegseth will not survive. Dario is proving he doesn’t have the chops.

@rus_spence @cremieuxrecueil Seeing decreases in the US as well, that doesn't answer the question.

@sedricm @cremieuxrecueil We are seeing decreases in all EU countries.

Making electricity is becoming cleaner across the U.S., China, and the EU.

That's even crazier. I'm guessing it's related? Not having visualizations is so hard for me to even wrap my head around. I would say 90+% of my thinking involves some level of visualizing, I have no idea what I would do without it! Must be equally hard for you to imagine what it's like to have it.

@sedricm I still struggle with the idea that most people can create mental imagery/daydream. At least to some extent. And some people have photorealistic abilities! I have zero.

I'm told that "typical" people can just hear a song in their head, it just exists. Is that true? I can't do that. For me, I can have music in my head, but I have to silently vocalize it/essentially sing it and play an active role - and only individual instruments or vocals at a time, I certainly can't hear an actual "song". Tell me you guys aren't walking around jamming to music without headphones? I don't think I believe that.

@reallyoptimized Crazy! And that's how I feel about these supposed people who can effortlessly create full rich vivid music, didn't even know that was a thing!

@sedricm Right. That's nuts to me 😂 I have zero ability to do that no matter how many mental gymnastics I attempt. Doesn't seem like an exaggeration!

@reallyoptimized I think that's the biggest difference. If it's a song I've heard enough, I can hear the whole song, with all the instruments. I think it correlates with how well I know the song.

Can you hear the whole song as an arrangement, multiple instruments and everything? I can't. Not even a second of it. I can't force it through memory or with my internal dialog, just won't happen. But I know the song. I can replay individual elements by recreation with my internal dialog. But the same way you can't speak 10 instruments at the same time, I can't think it or replay it internally.

Interesting. I've never heard of someone having that rich of a musical experience in their head, I hope I'm not missing out! But if that is a 10, and you're a 1, I would be at something like a 4-5. I can "hear" music, including the whole song, but it's not vivid, more like a memory, and I have to do something akin to sub-vocalizing like you described.

@sedricm See. x.com/i/grok/share/e…

@Teknium @DavidSacks My bad! I just assumed it was French.

@sedricm @DavidSacks And yes, English is my first language.

@ErikVoorhees @DavidSacks If it wasn't for the involvement of Amazon I would agree with you. But Amazon does have credible researchers.

More likely story: The "jailbreak" wasn't super serious (a situation anyone who has ever received bug reports is familiar with), Anthropic thought the demand to halt model was absurd, and Fed Gov used opportunity to punish and humiliate Anthropic for the prior sins of not bending knee. Anthropic has more credibility on such topics than Washington

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

@kappax @NashboroJoe @DavidSacks They should block running it on Chinese servers. Allow it to be run locally and in US/friendly clouds.

@NashboroJoe @DavidSacks You can't block an open model just because it's Chinese, you can literally download and run it locally on your own computer for free Free market capitalism, businesses/individuals can choose whatever they want to use

@ambuj0 @jameswendel @DavidSacks You are confidently wrong.

@jameswendel @DavidSacks 100+ companies with thousands of employees had access to Mythos. There is no way Mythos didn't have the same guardrails.

@Me80307930 @Legal_Fil McFaul is genuinely stupid, no acting required.

@Legal_Fil It’s getting harder and harder to tell who is actually ignorant vs who is posting nonsense because they believe their readers are. Depressing.

A professor of political science thinks Musk’s net worth is just sitting in a bank, as opposed to be equity in a company and being reinvested. Deeply embarassing.

@AustinCooper90 @bscholl @pronounced_kyle Haha, I didn't until I clicked on the profile. Unfortunately a lot of people saying it unironically.

@bscholl @pronounced_kyle Some people won’t understand you’re being sarcastic. lol

@pronounced_kyle But Elon shouldn’t be a trillionaire and is doing nothing to make the world better than he found it.

@nrehiew_ Why are we pretending export controls are the same thing as a ban? It's not good, but it's not a ban.

So does this mean no one can ever release a model better than Fable now, lest they get banned/regulated. At the same time, you can’t really release a model and show that it loses to an existing model on all benchmarks…
