Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.
My claude is constantly wanting to 'A/B test' things instead of actually just doing the thing I told her to do, and constantly wants to fall back to the extremely average standard thing to do the nanosecond anything is even slightly worse than some imagined baseline
Mark Riedl@markriedl.bsky.social · 2d agoFascinating experiment: current AI systems lack creativity to reliably pursue research arxiv.org/abs/2607.27191 - poor judgment about the bar for publishable research - uncreative responses in research design - ineffective backtracking from dead ends - poor resource awareness - instruction drift

"Tipping analyses focus on huge climate changes, often globally, over decades. Weather events are fast and local," writes Anders Levermann. "But look at the interplay between the two and it’s clear that the transition between one climate state and another is not smooth but extremely volatile." 🌎🧪

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.
A landmark reassessment shows Sumatran orangutans fell nearly 20% over 12 years, proving deforestation is not the only threat. Co-authored by Indonesia's Forestry Ministry, the study marks a shift toward science-based policy after past claims that orangutan numbers were rising. Learn more! 👇️
Major orangutan study finds Sumatran population fell nearly 20% despite slower forest loss
JAKARTA — The number of Sumatran orangutans has declined by nearly 20% in the past decade and the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan remains perilously close to extinction despite years of…

As expected, the "escape" of the OpenAI agent was due to poor security practices by OpenAI not by some "super agent" www.wired.com/story/openai... It's like saying, "The fire exhibited super intelligence because it found a way around our one fireproof panel and then spread to the wood structure"
OpenAI’s Hacking Debacle Comes Down to Human Error
If the generative AI giant had followed well-known security best practices, it’s likely that its AI agent would never have escaped to the open internet and hacked multiple companies.

![K KIMI K3: OPEN FRONTIER INTELLIGENCE
TECHNICAL REPORT OF KIMI K3
Kimi Team
ABSTRACT
parameters, native vision capabilities, and a 1-million-token context window. Kimi K3 is built on Kimi Delta Attention [63] and Attention Residuals [57], which improve information flow across sequence length and model depth. Together with Stable LatentMoE, which effectively activates 16 of 896 routed experts per token, and refined training and data recipes, these advances yield an proximately 2.5x improvement in overall scaling efficiency over Kimi K2 [581. Post-trainin highlights reinforcement learning across general, agentic, and coding domains and multiple reasoning-effort levels, enabling compositional generalization and robust long-horizon execution. At 2.8T scale, Kimi K3 is supported by infrastructure advances in multiple areas: algorithm-system co-design for KDA, perfectly balanced expert-parallel training with efficient memory management, million-token agentic RL with persistent rollout and sandbox states, and deployment innovations.
Extensive evaluations show that Kimi K3 achieves frontier-level performance across long-horizon coding, agentic, knowledge, reasoning, and vision tasks. While its overall performance still trails the most powerful proprietary models, namely Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi K3 consistently outperforms other open and proprietary models evaluated in our suite. We release the full Kimi K3 model weights to facilitate future research and accelerate the broader deployment and adoption of frontier intelligence.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ckaz32jwl6t2cno6fmuw2nhn/bafkreicrbgvxize5b2uxilew4qvymuq5jvasfva4zp4i4bohjtkvxvvdv4)
