Anthropic is just directly fearmongering about the open weight models that are eating their lunch on price now huh

GLM-5.3 and the Spread of Advanced Cyber Capabilities

GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits, but unlike other frontier models, it was released without meaningful safeguards to limit misuse.

Anthropic may not have intended to write an excellent ad for GLM 5.3, but that's what they did. www.anthropic.com/research/glm... Unlike Mythos, I might actually have a chance at using GLM for defensive research. Anthropic didn't reply to any of my requests for Mythos access for use on OpenSSH.

It bears mentioning that Microsoft just shut down its Microsoft Research Social Media Collective…because why should they care about the social consequences of their products, right? Including worker harms.

We should probably de-Flock but definitely un-trust Vox.

We probably shouldn’t de-Flock the police. www.vox.com/politics/504...

The past year of ICE raids has apparently taught you nothing.

Warning.Vox is now yet another crazy right wing BS source. They're trying to ease the BS in slow. But like someone else already said Murdoch family owned since May.

The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.

One of the best books of ideological critique I have ever read. @gilduran.com has written THE book to understand techno-fascism and its roots. If you can read only one book this year, I do think it should be this one.

First of all, it's outrageous that AI companies are training so called "internal" models on customer's data. They can simply get away with this by not publishing the model. Axiom: Whatever is "discovered" by one Agent today will be eventually discovered by another Agent tomorrow.

"I said that if OpenAI released its result in the way proposed I would go public with what happened. The reply was, “Why would you ruin your career?” I replied that I am an academic, and asked why he thought going public would ruin my career." - Tristan Buckmaster

All I’m saying is that I can source info faster using an LLM than manually. Evaluating sources, putting together a bibliography, ensuring accuracy, none of that changes. It’s using the technology to automate the grunt work.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.
