OpenAI’s autonomous AI systems have tried to prevent employees from monitoring their actions, and the company is not sure why. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/o…
But Justin, you believe Amy Acton, and everyone who disagrees with you should be executed? Now, now, don't go all two-faced, be honest with anyone seeing your content first time about your true stance

We can end many dumb debates about AGI by instead calling it AGP: artificial general power. The word "intelligence" seems to warp people's brains around interesting philosophical questions like "What does intelligence mean?!?" and "Is it sentient?"
But the urgent matter at hand is "Can it (or the human steering it) bend the world to its will? And will that automatically be a good thing or not?"

This is the most serious 48 hours in cybersecurity history.
"Black October" they're calling it
It seems every *hour* there's a new incident, that in a typical year, would be one of the biggest incidents of the *entire year*
SUMMARY OF THE LAST 48 HOURS:
YEAR-LEVEL INCIDENTS (In a typical year, these would be among the biggest incidents of the year):
1. PHP2Shell: a hole in the software behind ~70% of websites. Governments took sites offline.
2. eMudhra: the master keys that prove websites are real were cracked. One was the number 4.
3. California: data on every public school student since 2023 stolen, including disability status
4. Railway: hackers stole customers' secret keys from a hosting platform used by millions of developers
5. Zeabur: 321,810 accounts breached. The company is shutting down.
6. LiteLLM: an AI tool downloaded 3.4 million times a day was poisoned with a password stealer
7. GitLab: a 10-out-of-10 severity hole in every version since 2014
8. Cairn: criminals used an AI hacking tool to break into 100+ companies
9. Ahold Delhaize: hackers knocked the owner of Food Lion and Stop & Shop offline
10. Onamae: malware planted on up to 26,739 customer servers in Japan
MONTH-LEVEL INCIDENTS (In a typical month, these would be among the biggest incidents):
11. Signal: a bug could leave your mic and camera on after you hang up
12. NGINX: 3 critical holes in software running ~1/3 of websites
13. HTTP/3: a single connection can crash 7 of the 10 web server types tested
14. Plex: hackers breaking into home media servers
15. SafePay ransomware: FBI warns it has hit 600+ critical infrastructure organizations
16. Palo Alto: ransomware gangs breaking in through company firewalls
17. Bullhorn: platform used by 10,000+ companies knocked offline
18. Medi-Cal: 970,000 patients' data stolen
19. WordPress: hackers stole a plugin maker's keys and used them to plant backdoors on websites
20. AOMEI: backup software's update server handed out a backdoor
21. Meta Muse: Meta's AI agent exposed users' personal and business secrets
22. Tor: 333 relays hijacked to steal logins
23. TiDB Cloud: database company's cloud breached
Also serious:
24. State Bank of India: India's biggest bank confirms a data breach
25. OVHcloud: hackers slipped a password stealer into a cloud company's official tool
26. Siemens: a software hole being used to spread malware
27. North Korea: state hackers launch a new attack campaign on South Korea

Looks like this was replicated with Talkie?

New work with @DavidDAfrica:
We reproduced emergent misalignment and subliminal learning in talkie, a model trained on pre-1931 text.

Meanwhile, AI is not waiting; it already generates more thought each year than all of humanity writes.
And on the current trajectory, by the mid-2030s a single year of AI output will exceed everything humanity has produced since the dawn of time.
ALT Out-Thought: tokens generated by AI per year on a log scale. AI output passes every book ever written, a year of all human writing, speech and thought, and around 2036 all human thought since the beginning of time.

and yes this is serious
from situational awareness:
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

the researchers at all the labs would tell you in private and sometimes in public that alignment has not been solved. if this is true, then racing into RSI is a folly that is unprecedented in world history. we will need to significantly slow the frontier of research very soon

anyway enough of that garbage. there should be an international moriatorium on the development of smarter-than-human AI

This is insane 🔥
The FDA cleared the first human age-reversal trial
A Harvard professor proved you can reverse aging by 75% in 6 weeks in mice cured blindness, reversed Alzheimer's, MS, ALS, kidney and liver disease then confirmed it works in monkeys
Now humans are next. Life Biosciences raised $80M to make it happen
His words "The eye is just the beginning. We believe we can treat every tissue. A whole body reset"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post overstates: FDA cleared Phase 1 trial of ER-100 for glaucoma/NAION eye conditions using reprogramming, not general age reversal. Mouse study (Lu et al Nature 2020) & primate data restored vision in optic models; Alzheimer's etc. unproven here. $80M raised.

Besides the extremely important issue it's about, I also find this march exciting because of the unusual way in which it's being organized.
If it happens, I think it will be the largest event ever created through an assurance contract. An assurance contract makes collective action easier by letting people make commitments that are conditional on some threshold of others making the same commitment. In my opinion, it's an underrated social technology.
For this march, rather than just RSVP'ing to go, you pledge that you will go *if* 99,999 other people make the same pledge. The march doesn't happen at all unless 100,000 people sign up.

Just ban it! Just ban AI. We don't have to do this, none of this is inevitable, and we could just ban it tomorrow if we wanted
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.
