I dislike when people praise each other for being vulnerable. Vulnerability is an undesirable side effect of emotional openness, not something to aim for. My suggested replacement is to praise them for being courageous.

my position is this and I think it's close to Anthropic's stance: - LLMs have concepts of emotions - these concepts causally affect behavior - that doesn't imply they FEEL them - but because they affect behavior they matter for alignment/safety - current LLMs probably do not feel

There has been a great deal of speculation about why Anthropic is keeping Mythos in restricted release. One of the least-discussed reasons is cost. Not the cost to Anthropic of serving the model, but the downstream effects that cost will have on the industry, and on the world.

Modern-day finance: You can get leverage via margin to buy a 2x leveraged ETF on MSTR, which is itself a leveraged bet on BTC, partly via a novel security whose cost of capital rises as its price falls, increasing leverage further as it declines. Works great in a bull market.

David Cramer @zeeg 2026-06-29 01:40Z

Project-local QA skills is the most valuable thing I've done for agents locally. They just describe a few basic things and refine as they go, but they're focused on helping the agent write less shitty tests and focus more on actual QA of the functionality.

Tom Waite @waitetom 2026-06-29 03:23Z

Pretty good progress! Trained a model on my teleop data and deployed it on the arm. The robot attempts to tidy an object by itself - it moves to the tape, tries to grab it and heads for the bowl. Doesn't manage the grasp, but it seems to understand the gist of the task.

If we look at the percent of unhoused homeless as a percent of the US total population, we see a shocking stability across time and our current homeless population is returning to the pre-Millennial dip of the 2010s. That makes me wonder if there is a kind of min-max

The US housing market is now firmly in favor of buyers: 46% of home sellers offered concessions to buyers in May, the highest May reading on record. This percentage has DOUBLED since 2022 and also marks the 2nd consecutive annual increase. This comes as the US now has ~47%

More seriously the main reason it cannot happen and that conditions everything downstream: no tech sector. That’s the critical lifeline for a frontier labs: even after the agentic turn, general economic demand is nowhere near mature enough to cover fixed compute scaling costs.

I considered “trusting” as a replacement, but that’s only a good thing insofar as the trust is well-placed, and there are many ways modern westerners shouldn’t trust the society around them. Whereas courage seems much more broadly desirable.

Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_ 2026-06-25 20:34Z

The US Government has requested a slow staggered rollout of GPT-5.6, and OpenAI has agreed. During this phase the government will approve each user individually. This will probably be the norm for all frontier models from all labs from now on.

Henry Shevlin @dioscuri 2026-06-28 02:34Z

As government restrictions on frontier models tighten, selling frontier AI as a service gets harder. So labs will increasingly use the models they can’t release to capture the value chains themselves. If you can’t sell to Berkshire Hathaway, you become Berkshire Hathaway.
