Really good post (on x unfortunately) on the complexity of securing frontier AI training and why "just secure your sandbox dude" critiques aren't very thoughtful. x.com/joedaroo/status/210433592…
Quote from “Its not just the f*cking sandbox”: So all this to say: when AI researchers are nervous about things going wrong, some part of it is because there are so many variables in this complex system. So if you’re training a frontier model, you need to think about all of this. You need to think about how to keep the model isolated in this very complex environment while still retaining tool access, internet access (if applicable to the task), etc. On top of that, you need to ask: how do I monitor and understand what the model is doing in potentially thousands of parallel environments? And how do I kill a trajectory when something has gone wrong?

Working on improving the design of highlights/margin notes in @skyreader.app . Now puts community notes in the left margin and your notes to the right. More clear when your notes are private vs published to @margin.at

New in @skyreader.app: links from the people you follow on Bluesky! Similar to Nuzzel (rip) and the excellent @sill.social, Skyreader can now read your Bluesky timeline and find the links people you follow are sharing so you can read cool things without spending all your time on the timeline.

As you read articles in the room, your read status is shared with the group so you get a sense of what everyone has read.

A room is a joinable @semble.so or @margin.at collection of articles. Skyreader shows you the rooms you've joined along with who else has joined.

Excellent insight from @garbageday.email www.garbageday.email/p/microdrama...
Screenshot of the article with the highlighted quote: "Big Tech wants you to commit suicide so they don’t have to spend the money to kill you. They want you to forget everything you know about making a product, building an audience, and governing a state and trust that their metrics can help you do it better than them. And they want you to blindly follow those metrics until you become so “popular” on the platforms they own and irrelevant in real life that when you finally get replaced with their AI no one even notices."

Really excited for this @skyreader.app update: highlight review mode! Actually remember what you read. Review mode shows a daily selection of your highlights with controls to add notes, show more/less often, and jump back into the article. Review just Skyreader highlights or import from @margin.at.

External publications means you don't have to start a new blog to share articles. Pick from any of your existing supported @standard.site platforms.

The sharing composer allows you to edit your share before posting, lets you save drafts, and handles article quotes much better.

This is exciting: @radl.app now supports private p2p spaces via @iroh.computer. Now you can have agents work on your secret projects without broadcasting all your goals/artifacts/plans/etc on public atproto repos.

The home view ties it all together as a calmer entry to your reading. Shows your magazine issues, articles you're in the middle of, random picks, and recently saved.

I thought this was cool so I added support in @skyreader.app If a @standard.site publication you follow in Skyreader posts a @standard-reader.app collection it'll render nicely with the collection theme and each article inlined with a TOC and quick save buttons.

New release of @skyreader.app is now live with support for Channels that let you set up filtered views of your feeds and saved articles. Helps you catch up on quick reads or check in on sites that infrequently post. (apparently I have 104 long reads, rip my reading list)

sama is lying to our faces. wow he sucks. if you work at openai, reconsider openai.com/index/our-ag...
"The Department of War may use the AI System for all lawful purposes, consistent with applicable law, operational requirements, and well-established safety and oversight protocols. The AI System will not be used to independently direct autonomous weapons in any case where law, regulation, or Department policy requires human control, nor will it be used to assume other high-stakes decisions that require approval by a human decisionmaker under the same authorities. Per DoD Directive 3000.09 (dtd 25 January 2023), any use of AI in autonomous and semi-autonomous systems must undergo rigorous verification, validation, and testing to ensure they perform as intended in realistic environments before deployment."

So here's a neat thing. You can now manage Skyboard on the command line. I say you but Claude will probably get more use out of it, so comes with skills too. Sort of a Beads alternative on atproto? Very early but check it out if that sounds fun. github.com/disnet/skybo...

Big updates for Flint, my note-taking project. Spent the holidays reworking just about all of it. New UI. New backend. Now uses Automerge for a local-first foundation. You can try it out right now in your browser: app.flintnote.com

Flint is really coming together. My Thanksgiving week project was adding experimental EPUB support. Now you can highlight and chat with the LLM about your books!
