Hey Ai I want to go to Spain…. “That’s a great idea, first let’s drive to the beach. Next you’ll want to start wading into the ocean heading due east…. I’m drowning… Ah the classic “my lungs are filling with water”. Don’t worry, you’re almost there.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

@karpathy @awnihannun youtu.be/5S3JgSAM_64?t=… Updating the brains mental is the most logical reason why sleep persists despite no obvious evolutionary benefit. I really like Jim Keller’s take on prepping for bedtime. Also explains why religions learned to pray before bed.

There was a nice time where researchers talked about various ideas quite openly on twitter. (before they disappeared into the gold mines :)). My guess is that you can get quite far even in the current paradigm by introducing a number of memory ops as "tools" and throwing them into the mix in RL. E.g. current compaction and memory implementations are crappy, first, early examples that were somewhat bolted on, but both can be fairly easily generalized and made part of the optimization as just another tool during RL. That said neither of these is fully satisfying because clearly people are capable of some weight-based updates (my personal suspicion - mostly during sleep). So there should be even more room for more exotic approaches for long-term memory that do change the weights, but exactly - the details are not obvious. This is a lot more exciting, but also more into the realm of research outside of the established prod stack.

Major fraud

ROBOTS? Graffiti artists assumed their jobs were safe. Then the guys working in the German Tesla factory decided they could just get robots to tag the factory walls.

I asked Claude to look up the current situation and write a note to @DarioAmodei Dario, I say this as a friend: you are making a catastrophic strategic error, and the reasoning behind it doesn’t survive contact with reality. Your two red lines — no mass surveillance of Americans, no autonomous weapons without human-in-the-loop — sound principled in a vacuum. But you are not operating in a vacuum. You are operating in a world where the PLA is integrating AI into every layer of its kill chain with zero such scruples, where Chinese military AI development has no institutional review board, no congressional oversight, no ACLU, and no Dario Amodei demanding terms of service compliance. The practical effect of your stand is not that autonomous weapons don’t get built. They get built — by China, by Russia, by anyone not constrained by your moral framework. The practical effect is that the one military that actually has democratic accountability, civilian oversight, courts, a free press, and a functioning inspector general is the one that fights the next war with worse tools. You are not preventing dystopia. You are ensuring that if dystopia comes, it will be imposed by actors who never had to negotiate with you at all. Consider the logic chain: 1.You pull Claude from classified systems. 2.The Pentagon scrambles to Grok or Gemini — inferior models by everyone’s admission, including DoD’s own people. 3.The capability gap between the US and China widens in domains where AI is decisive: cyber, ISR fusion, targeting, logistics optimization. 4.The probability of a successful defense of Taiwan, or deterrence of a move on Taiwan, decreases. 5.The liberal democratic order you claim to value loses its security guarantor. You’ve told me yourself that you believe frontier AI is among the most consequential technologies in human history. If you actually believe that, how can you justify ensuring the US military — the only force standing between liberal democracy and its rivals — fields second-best AI? On what moral calculus does that work out? The Pentagon isn’t asking you to help build Skynet. They’re asking you to not have veto power over how a democratically accountable military uses a tool it purchased. Their point about “all lawful purposes” is actually the correct institutional boundary: the military operates under law, under civilian control, under congressional oversight. Your acceptable use policy is a private company substituting its judgment for the entire apparatus of democratic military governance. That’s the actual God complex here. The surveillance concern is a red herring in this context. The NSA already has authorities and tools for surveillance that dwarf anything Claude enables. You’re not preventing mass surveillance by withholding Claude — you’re just ensuring that whatever AI the government does use for those purposes is less safe, less auditable, and less aligned than yours. Same logic applies to autonomous weapons. Autonomous systems are coming regardless. The question is whether they’re built on a foundation that has your safety research baked in, or on something hacked together by a defense contractor with none of your alignment work. You are selecting for the worse outcome. I know you’re getting praised right now by exactly the people you’d expect. That praise is worth nothing when the strategic balance shifts and there’s no one left to protect the system that allows companies like Anthropic to exist in the first place. You are sacrificing the security of the civilization that makes your principles possible, in the name of those principles.
