@Alibaba_Qwen Qwen3.6 dropping MoE agentic coding that punches like a 300B model? Built Q Town sims @ qtown.ai on 3.5, I cant wait to see what 3.6 brings.

@DanielMiessler Not sure if it’s denial or what but AI is being treated just another thing of the day. The impacts will be far greater than anything we have seen in our lifetimes.

Let me try to viscerally reset an assumption about AI in your mind.
There are people saying AI is hitting its limit. That this is as good as it can get.
Don’t believe it. And more importantly, ask why you should even entertain it.
Think about this.
How much did we plan AI’s birth?
When ChatGPT happened, were we like, “Yep, just as expected…” or did absolutely everyone—including the people who made it—basically say, “OMG what is this?”
How good is our AI research industry? What percentage of it is heat versus light?
How often are we being surprised as researchers and practitioners about what AI can do every single week and month?
—
The answers to all of these questions point in one direction.
We are nowhere close to being good at creating what we created.
What we have assembled so far is likely to be much closer to a slide rule than a vacuum tube, but people are treating it as if we’re at 98.5% and we’re trying to push towards 99%.
People have no idea how little we know or understand about anything we are doing. We’re grasping and throwing things at the wall with slightly increasing skill.
It’s not that there is slack in the rope. It’s all slack. We don’t even know what a tight rope would look like.
And we are building with this highly limited and flawed technology, new tech that can actually improve itself. That can improve almost anything. See autoresearch.
This is us playing with vacuum tubes and word processors, with some of using having the hubris to think it’s all we’ll ever have.
Don’t believe it.
This is ancient relic tech. It’ll be studied in museums like punch cards.

@brockpierson Yes, and this makes it very difficult for real new people

@DanielMiessler Losing access to models terrifies me, it seems the only possible option is to stay as up to date on local models as much as humanly possible. Any other thoughts?
English

Something I think a lot about is how close we are to nationalized AI Labs.
I think we could have one NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) terrorism event and the US government could instantly do the following:
1. Nationalize OpenAI, Anthropic, Deepmind, xAI
2. Shut down or control all the AI operations at the other places
3. Shut down Hugging Face
4. Make it illegal to create open source models
5. Etc.
Like, instantly.
It wouldn't be a great EO of course. There would be gaps, and loopholes, and it would be legally challenged.
But it would still massively disrupt the economy.
And keep in mind, I'm not talking just about a SUCCESSFUL NBC attack. Where lots of people are actually hurt or killed. That's obvious.
What's weird to me is how easily this could happen from a tiny fraction of that. Or, more likely, not even a real thing.
- News Story: Government Stops Biological Terrorism Threat Powered by AI
- News Story: Dozens Injured in Chemical Warfare Terrorism Threat Powered by AI
And these could be real, and that would be a problem.
But what's way more likely is:
- Someone asks a jailbroken model how to create a nerve gas or something
- They buy a bunch of chemicals and bring them to their apartment
- They try to combine them somehow and the apartment complex gets evacuated
- There are tons of pictures and video of people outside the apartments getting oxygen from firetrucks and ambulances
What actually happened is nothing happened. They didn't know what they were doing and created a bunch of some chemical smell that made people dizzy or whatever. No actual injuries, but it stunk and was kind of scary.
But the government figured out the AI connection, i.e., they "googled a jailbroken AI model" and suddenly it's turned into a major terrorist threat.
Either because they don't get it (likely) or because they were looking for a reason to take control anyway (also not inconceivable).
Point is, we're this close to this happening right now. And I don't think many people realize it.

“Anthropic just leaked Claude Mythos and it’s about to break the AI game wide open. Step-change reasoning, god-tier coding, cybersecurity so strong it scares even them. This isn’t another Claude drop, it’s the myth we’ve all been waiting for.
Buckle up, the singularity is loading…”
…or it’ll be 5% better than Opus and we will still love it

@JaniceEK22 @Benthamsbulldog That’s fit for a flight from JFK to Singapore!

NEW: Quadruple amputee professional cornhole player accused of murdering someone before driving off in his Tesla.
Dayton Webber, 27, who has no arms & legs and was featured on ESPN, is accused of shooting 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells during an argument.
"Police say Webber was in his Tesla SUV when he shot Wells in the passenger seat," a local report from Fox 5 said.
"He then pulled over and asked two backseat passengers to help pull Wells out of the car. They refused and got out of the car before calling the police."
Webber then allegedly drove off with Wells' body in the car.
It's completely unclear how Webber was able to fire a weapon, considering he doesn't have fingers.
"It’s early in the investigation, but there’s no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the shooting and that he acted alone," said Diane Richardson, Charles County Sheriff's Office.
Webber faces first and second-degree murder charges.
