Frontier AI companies asking to regulate themselves is no different than when Big Tobacco pushed self-regulation to shield themselves from government oversight. Same story, different industry. 🚬 = 🤖

Claude walked into 3 real companies during a safety test. Claude built a whole Shire after reading 1 paragraph of LOTR. OpenAI's unreleased Astra solved 10 long-standing math problems for about $2,000 in tokens. I dug into all three last week. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-walked-...

OpenAI's Astra model solved 10 math and computer science problems that stumped researchers for decades. One of them had been open since the late 1990s. The whole thing cost about $2,000 in tokens. I wrote about it. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-walked-...

Karpathy gave Claude Opus 5 a $10 token budget and 1 paragraph of Lord of the Rings. It spent 2 hours writing 5,500 lines of code to render an animated 3D Middle-earth scene. I wrote way more detail about why it actually matters, LOTR-lore aside, lol. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-walked-...

All 10 regional offices gone, 57 research stations closed, and 193 million acres handed to political appointees. A few brands have spoken out, but more need to. Take action at saveusfs.org
