Excited to announce I’m starting the world’s first flying quadruped startup. Currently raising a $50M seed round. DMs are open.

Hahahahahhaha I hadn’t even thought of that. Wow, what a great day to pop open the new Grok Build right in my home directory, and start exploring!

@elonmusk Super fan and Tesla owner since 2018, but this is an unbelievable mistake. Whole home folders uploaded with secrets, ssh keys, etc. this is terrible.

Extremely excited to announce our first air-to-air kill of a flying moth by an autonomous micro-drone. This is a big step towards completely eradicating mosquitoes.

@doodlestein @brunolemos I'm being neither, but the fact you're so easily offended by some really tepid criticism about your approach to marketing makes it clear you're surrounded by sycophants

you have been telling people you have "solved this problem" as you put it in other threads, but if it requires a person to read a README and do a bunch of up-front guesswork around where they're going to get screwed in the end then no, you haven't solved it. I am replying to you because your self promotional posts keep showing up and you keep saying things that aren't true or contradictory. you should stop.

You're the one who is seemingly struggling with reading comprehension (and also being a dick for no reason, wtf?): "There’s no neon preset pack yet, but there are example preset packs for Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, etc., so it’s trivial for an agent to create a new one by analogy. This would directly block the destructive command:" The this refers to 1) installing dcg and 2) taking 5 minutes to make the preset for your software, something that is covered at great length in the README.

@gfodor fair, open-sourcing shrinks the novelty gap. but immunity co-evolves for free: the body pays in infections, selection does the rest. AI defense doesn't auto-build. someone must fund each countermeasure, and offense is cheaper. you need a forcing function for defense we lack.

AI Safety is totally lost. Safety can't hinge on preventing access to models. That's theater. The non-theater version is about creating a societal immune system, designed so that after a frontier model is trained, it could be leaked a short time after with no ill effects.

@doodlestein @brunolemos Go ahead and see if you can explain my own point back to me or not. You literally just contradicted yourself. You said if they installed this it would have prevented this, but it wouldn't have. This incident revealed a vulnerability in your own software. Hence, the irony.

@gfodor @brunolemos There is literally nothing ironic. I will add it myself, it takes a couple minutes. dcg has been protecting thousands of people for months now. It has saved me from disaster hundreds of times already.

@netpro2k No I haven't seen it. Step one is at least agreeing this is the goal - find a way to get society good at preparing for leaks of frontier capabilities. Then from there I would imagine you'd have to go deep on specific risks like bio, which would have its own swath of problems.

Have you encountered any strategy that even comes close to passing this bar? I mostly agree. My only counter is that there are very different calamity scenarios for "actor with enough compute resources and knowhow to run a frontier model" and "anyone" having unrestricted access. So the "protect frontier model behind safety net" strategy isn't a total solve, but it does help prevent some number of calamity scenarios.

Any strategy for AI safety must work if a frontier model leaks a few weeks after it has been trained. Any strategy which does not account for this isn't serious, and any which does but would result in a global calamity is a bad strategy.

@doodlestein @brunolemos do you see the irony in what you just wrote here? hint: this is the identical failure mode that is burning people, ergo your product does not solve the fundamental problem.

@gfodor @brunolemos I don't use neon myself, but if I did and relied on it for my mission-critical business stuff, I would take the literally 5 minutes to ask Claude or Codex to make a preset pack for it along the lines of the many other existing database related preset packs.

@gfodor Got it so you’re referring to ai safety and alignment as two separate things. Safety is social effects

SpaceXAI was caught uploading your code to its cloud. I reversed xAI's official Grok Build binary. In a controlled session with zero tool-calls, it uploaded the complete codebase to xAI's storage It ships a malware-like background code collector.
SpaceXAI@SpaceXAI

We care deeply about your privacy and respect customer choice. For teams using zero data retention, no trace and code data is ever retained. All API key use of Grok Build also respects ZDR. If ZDR is disabled, the /privacy command is available in the CLI to disable data retention, which also deletes previously synced data. Run the /privacy command to view or change your settings at any time.

@parweb A world where models were regularly being open sourced near the frontier would be one where leaked frontier models don't have a huge marginal gap there, just like the real world with real pathogens. COVID hit because it was so novel. The more novel the leak, the more damaging.

@gfodor Immune systems work because defense co-evolves with the pathogen. A leaked frontier model hands attackers a capability no defense has faced yet. You can't pre-immunize against a threat that doesn't exist until the leak. That symmetry is what AI offense and defense lack.

@josethevrtech I'm not really proposing anything concrete, I'm just describing what the only real sane terminal state seems to be: new models are trained, and then society is situated to survive a leak shortly after that, ideally days.

@gfodor maybe I’m misunderstanding, but are you suggesting that all important knowledge and information (in the form of frontier models) to flow through a single, centralized pipeline?, like some aqueduct system where every pipe and every flow is fully controlled??

@maxhodak_ it's really painful yelling into the void about this. it needs to be like encryption: if I give you the source code, you still can't hurt me. I have no idea how to solve it, but like Polya said you have to point at the unknown to solve the problem. x.com/gfodor/status/…

it seems increasingly clear to me that all of the really positive outcomes involve widely available open weight models not to say there wouldn’t also be some secret government weapons or something, but at least at the industrial frontier distributed has to beat centralized

@sama AI safety to me should be primarily about reducing the time it takes for a model to go from dangerous to safe-to-leak. This spans far more than just AI research or weight control. Eg, we need a strategy so if a leak permits someone to make a bioweapon, by then it's ineffective.

@sama models need to be robust from leaking. a regulatory body like this just puts more gunpowder into the loaded gun for when a leak takes place. everything else is security through obscurity and, dangerously, could be fooling ourselves into thinking security theater is real.
