@iaindunning My brother in Christ, there isn't even a good qualification on 'AI'.

Is there a spread in what qualifies as RSI, or am I hallucinating? To me it is a narrow thing, e.g. AI system can generate non-trivial improving ideas that reduce time to next improving idea. Not like, I use agents to improve my human research productivity, thats "just" tooling.

@SumitM_X Sure, why not.
If it was my job to perfect the API contract to REST standards, I'd be the tech lead, and I'd get paid more.

@Tim_Hua_ Shhhh.
This is absolutely true, China is mere hours from outpacing US ai UNLESS the USG unblocks new model releases and never arbitrary blocks them again.

The #1 article on the Wall Street Journal claims that GLM-5.2 matches Mythos at finding security bugs.
This is almost certainly completely incorrect.
I am willing to put up $100 for $1 that GLM-5.2 will score below Mythos and GPT-5.5 at UK AISI's cyber range.
WSJ has been...

@Geero_Gero It's a dumb idea. But the regulation jokes don't hit as hard while the USG is arbitrarily blocking model releases with no clear laws or regulation that can be followed to avoid it.

Ah yes, hosting Anthropic in the EU so they can make SotA models with paper and pen on an office without AC.
Then wait for 6 to 9 months for approval to do training runs on one of the Ai factories they downsized.
Surely they’ll be less impeded than in the US.

From the letter: 'Let us jointly explore the strategic establishment and participation of Anthropic within the European Union. With legal certainty, market access, capital and a set of values that suits this company.' 'Anthropic fits us particularly well. A company that understands the ethical use of AI not as marketing, but as a core conviction. That places safety over speed. That is a deeply European attitude. This company would not be constrained in Europe; it would be unleashed.' The UK also made similar overtures a few months ago. It won't happen. Anthropic will stay where the compute is, and where the supply is guaranteed. They can't risk getting cut off, and from here on out the compute will increasingly be concentrated within US borders.

@kerckhove_ts The purpose of an alcoholic's kidneys is to fail.

@DavidSacks Tough luck, King Lutnick personally decides which private US AI company gets to release their product to the market, and who they are allowed to sell it to.
Once a Chinese open weights model actually catching up to US SOTA, it's all over.

A year ago, President Trump declared that America was in a global AI race and that the way to win it was to be pro-innovation, pro-infrastructure, pro-energy, and pro-export. President Trump was exactly right; we deviate from that strategy at our peril.

@Miles_Brundage Why is it ironic? If there is anything a hawk will snort like cocaine at the slightest excuse it's the enemy having some kind of new capability that we absolutely must have more/better/cheaper right now or else!
They're not going to rob themselves of the fun by fact checking it.

Cosigned, and it's also ironic given WSJ's China hawk demeanor that the only source here on the claim in the headline is a Chinese company x.com/Tim_Hua_/statu…

@kimmonismus It's some literally who sending a letter to literally who and everyone attributes the will of entire anthropomorphized nations and even continents to it so they have something to talk about on twitter.

Austria is trying to lure Anthropic to Europe.
But it seems more like an act of desperation. After all, U.S. regulation has cut off Europe’s access to the most powerful models, even though Europe maintains good relations with the United States.
Hence the attempt to tell Anthropic: come to Europe, establish yourselves strategically, and you will gain market access.
But anyone who seriously believes that, if the United States declares Fable and Mythos to be matters of national security, it would simply accept Anthropic moving to Europe to base its models there must be seriously out of touch with reality.
At the same time, it is also an admission that Europe itself would not be able to build models of comparable quality.
The entire article is an admission of its own poverty.

@CrockettJa29973 @Polymarket The idea of Anthropic leaving the US is stupid, but the idea of the US nationalizing it is hilarious.
They'd be left with a million lawsuits, all the staff leaving, a soon to be outdated model they don't know how to improve.
Oh and the weights on piratebay.
English
@Polymarket I encourage them to attempt to leave the US. This will encourage the Trump administration to nationalize Anthropic. Them staying in the US is a matter of national security.
English
JUST IN: Austria is urging Europe to host Anthropic after U.S. restrictions on access to Mythos & Fable.

@wrangler_warner @HiTechLoLife1 Cloud computing was made to make money, and I can promise you that no one making it was thinking about the working class on way or another.
Vast majority of cloud compute is b2b anyway, vast, vast majority.
English
@DanNonymous @HiTechLoLife1 My professor recommend me to buy gpu for AI. Cloud computing will always be expensive as it is a subscription model and was made to extract every bit of money from working class
English
The "philosophical issues" are literally the crux of the issue.
Ownership of hardware is non-negotiable.
It also begs another question too... would you or countless other programmers/IT specialists have ever gotten into tech if it was all in the cloud and not owned hardware?
LaurieWired@lauriewired
yeah yeah…I know “you’ll own nothing” memes, but philosophical issues aside it just makes sense. a friend of mine used to have a full gaming PC, but due to travel-heavy circumstances got rid of it. he only has a macbook air + a controller now, plus some sort of cloud streaming service. with internet speeds being quite good in most parts of europe...it was honestly unimaginably impressive. I had no idea how much it's matured over the years. With hardware prices being what they are, 1 real PC buys you like 10+ years of cloud gaming...
English
@gailcweiner I think it was supposed to provide at least some guarantee of access in order to keep signers on US AI.
Partners buying and investing in US AI would be good, and guaranteed access allows them to commit to that dependency with less concerns.
Anyway, RIP to that, torpedoed.
English
Pax Silica is not a treaty between equals.
It is a US-administered licensing regime with international cover. Signatory governments don’t co-own the framework. They receive access conditional on alignment with the operator.
Which means the AI lever is now diplomatic infrastructure.
Read what was signed.
English
@beyond_fps I will sign any petition you create when you find a single one that did not contribute to the established metric of GDP.
English
@DanNonymous That's just US companies burning their capex. Also the US is not the only country on earth, the rest have access to AI as well.
English
It shows when someone is really a gamer and when someone just does very occasional, light gaming.
Also, if this scenario ever happens, your nvidia subscription wont be $200 a year, it will be x3 that at least. We already know how these things work.

@beyond_fps GDP is a measure of economic activity, so the data centers have a guaranteed meaningful impact by being built, maintained and used.
Considering data centers were 90% of recent US GDP growth, good news on their productivity!

@beyond_fps Absolutely, step 1: objectively define productivity in a way that can calculated and measured.
English
And when I mean productivity I mean real productivity, at country level, not the lines of code that some no name writes a day.

@elonmusk You should find something to deploy fast so it can get export controlled, Lutnick is handing out 'really powerful and dangerous AI' stickers to anyone releasing right now, regardless of the actual amount of parameters.

Grok 4.5, based on our 1.5T V9 foundation model, with Cursor data added in supplemental training, is now in private beta at SpaceX & Tesla. Early evals show performance close to, perhaps exceeding Opus.
RL is continuing to significantly improve the model, and the Grok Build harness gets better every day.
Nice work by all those involved!
Completely trained from scratch new models will be released by @SpaceX every month this year.

@OrdinaryGamers Those companies are competing with each other, not local gaming setups.
If you are imagining a situation where they form a cartel and control supply, then yeah, that's bad, but we know that's bad and that's why there's laws against this. Imagine it being done with food.
English
Not mad but cloud gaming is cool as a supplement, the reality is if people lose local processing these companies can jack up the price since you have no competition. You should also own what you buy and be able to run it without a company deciding for you.
LaurieWired@lauriewired
you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle. every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc. I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization. If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.
English
@BevansAdvocate My unasked take is that paying people to fill pits does not actually produce value, but it can create the sort of fake activity motion that can then encourage real economic activity.
The pit diggers get money, so they spend it, so people feel they can build on pit digger money.
English
@GeorgeLutas1 Your leverage is going to the competition or deciding it's not worth it and buying a PC again, since it's an optional purchase.
English
The problem is that you have no leverage when you go this direction, and eventually someone decides to pump those margins up on that hour of compute you're spending.
Thankfully, latency is just a physics limiter that makes this much harder to deploy with economies of scale kept.
