I'm coining a piece of AI safety terminology that I'd like to refer to as the Bond Villain problem. As a field, AI safety heavily leverages sci-fi pretty heavily, so I figure this should be fine.

Very quick and dirty Jev test for hiring bias. One resume for a Wall Street job; asked whether the applicant should get a first-round interview. 76 evaluations, changing only the first name. 19 of each: White-associated men/women, Black-associated men/women. console.typesafe.ai/playground?s...

The future I want is the one where AI gives us luxury space communism. If everyone could be chill about this shit and use it to make nice things for each other and align political change to match, we would really be cooking.

My first job out of college was working at a company that made electrical grid management software for electric cooperatives. The technical competence on display for security was horrific.

I'm pretty baffled that neither ChatGPT nor Claude support being logged into both work and personal accounts and being able to toggle between them. Not in the desktop, nor in their code harnesses. I'm sure there are plenty of footguns there, but... y'all.

As a cis straight guy, I’m really confused how I ended up in the help peer vortex

To recap: USA has Mythos-level security, but wants to legislate not to do that. Meanwhile China keeps developing their models.

DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is just so damned fast, cheap, and good. Golly. This is getting into the territory where I literally can't think of things I want it to do _fast enough_.

Me, a kid at the time, “so I guess it’s a stock market crash huh”

Damn you’re saying we could have been throwing monks into the hole instead of kids?

Deepseek 4.1 Flash sure sounds a lot like Opus 5 when it talks.
