The Human Watch vs AI

🇮🇳 AI DATA RACE: Workers in Indian factories started to wear cameras on their heads, to film their motions so robots can be trained on these videos. Big robot companies will train their humanoid robots, on movement data from Indian sweatshops … Wild 1/

**DOW CHEMICAL JUST SLAUGHTERED 4,500 WORKERS WHILE PROMISING SHAREHOLDERS "AT LEAST $2 BILLION IN ADDITIONAL EARNINGS" FROM THE BLOOD** 13% of their entire workforce disappeared this week Not because they're losing money. Because killing jobs makes the stock price go up. CEO Jim Fitterling told analysts the cuts will "unlock significant value" while chemical engineers with 15 years experience got escorted out by security I'm hearing the severance packages are fucking brutal. 4 weeks for people who've been there a decade. Sources saying they're moving half the R&D operations to India where PhDs work for $18k annually Dow posted $45 billion in revenue last year but apparently paying American chemists is "inefficient resource allocation" The company that literally invented Agent Orange is now gassing their own workforce These are people who make the polymers in your phone. The chemicals in your water treatment. The compounds that keep airplanes from falling out of the sky. But Jim needs his $2 billion so shareholders can buy more boats Meanwhile every chemical engineering program in the country is telling kids "STEM is recession-proof" The math is simple: 4,500 families destroyed = $444,444 in "additional earnings" per severed head If you work anywhere that makes anything physical, you're next The entire manufacturing knowledge base of America is being sold to the lowest bidder while executives count their options

If this is true, Satya Nadella made a really huge mistake by protecting Sam Altman?

🚨LEAKED: ANTHROPIC BUILT AN AI SO GOOD AT HACKING THEY'RE AFRAID TO RELEASE IT... A data leak just revealed Anthropic is testing a new model called "Claude Mythos" that they say is "by far the most powerful AI model we've ever developed." The leak happened when draft blog posts and internal documents were left in a publicly accessible data cache. Fortune and cybersecurity researchers found nearly 3,000 unpublished assets before Anthropic locked it down. The model introduces a new tier called "Capybara," larger and more capable than Opus. According to the leaked draft: "Compared to our previous best model, Claude Opus 4.6, Capybara gets dramatically higher scores on tests of software coding, academic reasoning, and cybersecurity." Here's where it gets interesting. Anthropic says the model is "currently far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities" and "presages an upcoming wave of models that can exploit vulnerabilities in ways that far outpace the efforts of defenders." In other words, it's so good at hacking that they're worried about releasing it... Their plan is to give cyber defenders early access first so they can harden their systems before the model goes wide. Anthropic blamed "human error" in their content management system for the leak. Also exposed: details of an invite-only CEO retreat at an 18th century English manor where Dario Amodei will showcase unreleased Claude capabilities. Source: Fortune
