Suleyman published an essay Wednesday and did a BBC interview yesterday. The headline everyone picked up is "silicon species," but the actual disagreement is more specific than that. His position: AI models are sequence completion engines, in…
Three CEOs who compete directly with each other publicly agreed on something this weekend and I'm still processing it. Amodei published a 3,800 word essay Saturday called "We Must Pace the Frontier." The core argument is that capability i…
Quick recap in case you missed it. Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic on Tuesday, specifically so he could say publicly that both OpenAI and Anthropic are "gambling with our lives" and racing toward self-improving superintelligence without a…
The hikers story happened September 1st. Three guys from Roseville used Gemini to plan a Mount Shasta summit. The AI told them to bring far less food and water than they needed. They summited at 7pm, four hours after the recommended turnaround time, de…

The reason matters more than the pause itself. Internal tests on Astra, OpenAI's next frontier model, showed it might be capable of finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in hardened systems without human guidance. That's the threshold…
I've been sitting with this one all morning because the contrast is hard to ignore. Today Meta dropped Muse Glimmer. 30 billion parameters. Runs on a single consumer GPU with 24GB of memory. Under 20GB download. Apache 2.0 license, which means you …
I've been tracking this space for a while and July felt different from any month I can remember. Three things happened that I think most people haven't fully processed yet. On July 9th, three major labs released new models on the same day. That…
I've been thinking about this one all weekend and I keep coming back to the same thing. Jacob Tsimerman just won the Fields Medal. If you're not familiar, it's the highest honor in mathematics, only awarded every four years, roughly the Nob…
