Ever heard of the infinite monkey theorem?

Even if every atom in the universe were a supercomputer generating a trillion trillion random characters every second since the Big Bang, the chance of producing Hamlet would still be essentially zero.

He was leading the development of AlphaFold, the AI system that predicts protein structures for which he got the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Companies are not your friend who you need to be loyal to. There's a reason noncompetes are illegal in California.

Why is the guy suing open source ai whining about big ai?

Can you name the reasons you hate it for? Genuine question

As far as I understand, these companies would cede shares to the government, i.e. give the USG a stake for free.

I think sakanas papers are one of the more creative, not just gunning for incremental benchmark improvements. But yeah I agree that they can be a bit (or very) hypey. But regardless, I want to see more of their kind of research than endless benchmark chasing. All the best to David Ha and the team!

Yeah. This is why Anthropic is way worse than openai. They don't contribute shit to open source and even lobby against it.

Not really mentioned explicitly but:

A meaningful slowdown or pause would require multiple well-resourced labs at or near the frontier, in multiple countries, agreeing to stop under the same conditions. It would also require that each can verify that the others have actually stopped. Due to the unique characteristics of AI systems, the detectability (a lower standard than verifiability) element of this arms control problem is much more challenging than with other technologies. Training runs are far easier to conceal than missile silos, their inputs are general-purpose, and the incentive to defect quietly is enormous, because whoever continues while others pause could inherit the lead. A credible pause also has to specify what triggers it, what lifts it, and who adjudicates.

And later:

In the coming months, we will organize conversations where policymakers, researchers, civil society, and other AI companies can help answer some of the questions this piece raises, especially around full recursive self-improvement and how to create better options for coordination and deliberation. We’ll publish what comes out of it. The window to investigate the questions together is here, and people outside AI companies should be involved in this deliberation.

The mythos public release will be a big indicator if the Anthropic and SF story of transformational ai soon holds any water imo

I'd like to donate to help their cause. Does anyone know if it is legal for me to do so?

To any lawyers in here, is there an argument to be made for the statue of limitations not to apply here

Has anyone done the math on how many jobs AI has to replace in order to justify current valuations? Would be interesting to see imo

"Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that"."

I think it's meaningless anyway. A calculator doesn't multiply numbers like a human does. The important part is to develop systems that can do many human tasks

I think we are still in the denial phase.

That is literally how future works

IANAL but iirc DRM is governed by federal law, specifically the DMCA. A state law cant override a federal statute, so even if Montana's law were interpreted very broadly, it couldnt nullify the DMCA

I really hope bytedance doesn't bend the knee to the western media cartel. Now that they sold off tiktok, I don't believe they operate in the west and I hope china doesn't enforce western ip here

I guess argument seems to be that any AI capable of eliminating all of humanity would necessarily be intelligent enough to cure all diseases. This appears plausible to me because achieving total human extinction is extraordinarily difficult. Even engineered bioweapons would likely leave some people immune by chance, and even a full-scale nuclear exchange would leave survivors in bunkers or remote areas

I use LLMs daily and they've become an essential part of my life. Really hoping your work can help make LLMs and AI more broadly cheaper and more abundant.

Would be fantastic if you can find a way to make optimizations you find available more openly. The whole ecosystem benefits when efficiency improvements are shared. Looking forward to seeing where this goes and don't let the negativity from some get to you

The piece isn’t claiming that AI tools are useless or that they don’t materially improve day-to-day work

Would you call something that could replace your labor "spicy auto complete"? He also evokes nfts and blockchain, for some reason. To me this phrasing makes it sound like he thinks they are damn near useless.

Pay walled. .

A reminder that antizionism is not antisemitism

I don't get it. How's this help america?

Why garbage ai? I thought it was a very interesting post, personally.

What do you think about the recent SAM audio model by meta? https://ai.meta.com/blog/sam-audio/

Yeah, in the article they write:

The data will be released in different stages on our Torrents page:

[X] Metadata (Dec 2025)

[ ] Music files (releasing in order of popularity)

[ ] Additional file metadata (torrent paths and checksums)

[ ] Album art

[ ] .zstdpatch files (to reconstruct original files before we added embedded metadata)

Wow. Anna is a godsend. Hopefully now we get some really good open source music models
