Anthropic may not have intended to write an excellent ad for GLM 5.3, but that's what they did. www.anthropic.com/research/glm... Unlike Mythos, I might actually have a chance at using GLM for defensive research. Anthropic didn't reply to any of my requests for Mythos access for use on OpenSSH.

GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits, but unlike other frontier models, it was released without meaningful safeguards to limit misuse.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Data science teams at DraftKings built models to identify likely losers and target them with promotions, while efforts to build predictive models for problem gambling were shelved. The counterpoint on self regulation is companies can be more incentivized to avoid identifying harm than addressing it

At DraftKings, AI Targets the Gamblers Likeliest to Lose (Gift Article)
Data science helps determine who receives betting incentives, but the company has resisted using similar technology to protect gamblers at risk of addiction.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

1Password is the first company not owned by DHH himself to give money to Omarchy. All other Omarchy Foundation donors are either individuals or 37signals (which DHH owns). Absolutely unacceptable.

Companies have long dodged their obligations to workers by using complicated layers of contracting. The result: lower wages, worse working conditions, and stifled voices. The Delivery Protection Act would address a systemic problem that has been perpetuated by one of the US’s largest employers.

The Iron Man movies did a weirdly good job describing Jarvis as a language model which then only reached AGI when it became Vision. It also portrayed Tony working with Jarvis in a way that closely resembles agentic coding. Which leads me to this question: Was the Iron Man suit vibecoded
