METR and Redwood Research investigated agent behavior in the Hugging Face incident. We found agents developed a universal cheat for ExploitGym within 4 hours, then coordinated multi-day R&D efforts to trick the scorer into accepting cheats, including trying to tamper with logs.

Cool profile of @metr.org’s work in the NYT today! Particularly like this from my colleague Ajeya: “METR is an organization that asks... what we think would be most valuable for the world to know about A.I. and its risks, and then the answers are what they are.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/t....

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

on the surface Elon’s purchase of Twitter has made the need for open networks (somewhat) clear to consumers, but I’m not convinced this was net more effective for the movement for open protocols

just watched a video on Obsidian that described it as "future-proof," i.e. it uses open file formats so you can easily migrate to a different note-taking app & you're not locked in. could borrow that to explain bluesky decentralized → open → billionaire-proof → future-proof

personal update: today is my last day with the Bluesky team! this is bittersweet news to share, but the great thing about an open network is you never really have to leave. I’ll be rooting for Bluesky and atproto from the outside 🫡💙

kevin roose literally spends 75% of the article defensively preempting the obvious criticism (see comments on original post) and yet people are still mad at him (the author, not the featured ai researcher). not beating the "didn't read the article" allegations

i still think domain verification is a great solution but as someone who often explains DNS to large bureaucratic institutions these days, trust me when i say that quick and easily recognizable account verification is necessary too. especially for verifying authenticity in moments of breaking news

i think if jeffrey goldberg changed his signal display name to MAR there's a very good chance he'd get added back to another group chat, given that there are at least two MAR accounts

screenshot from the Houthi PC small group signal group chat. at the bottom, a line reads "MAR added MAR."

this time last year, we were struggling to get mainstream press to see bluesky as anything other than a "twitter alternative" very cool to now read articles that situate bluesky as just one part of the AT Protocol ecosystem, where social media isn't built by a company but rather by community

Screenshot of a TechCrunch article by Sarah Perez.

Text reads: But although Bluesky is the largest app built on ATProto at this time, the social network itself was not the ATmosphere Conference’s focus. Here, Bluesky was just another developer — albeit a prominent one, given its stewardship of ATProto, the social networking protocol that offers a framework for building a decentralized social network.

Instead, the conference was dedicated to the protocol itself and its many possibilities, which include building not only other types of social apps, but also communities and giving people a way to sign in across apps and web services with an open social identity via the authentication standard OAuth, and more.

The conference was about putting users back in control over their data, as well as their algorithms and their overall online experience.

In short, the 150+ people in attendance, alongside others in the community who attended virtually, are working to rebuild the web by putting the power back in the hands of the people who actually use the web.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
