[Quoted report excerpt, partly covered by a footnote popup:]

We believe agents used this convention because the standard tool agents used to read entries from this cache sorted the entries in reverse-alphabetical order; this convention ensures that messages intended for communication appear before other entries. The message board origin agent, [cut off]

Tweet commenting on a report, quoting an excerpt in which agents used a 'zz' message-prefix convention in a shared cache, with a footnote popup partly overlapping the paragraph. The popup covers part of the text, so the layout is kept.

[quoted image, satirical text:]
I think the people involved with Conduit should stop what they are doing. Go back to work at OpenAI! I'd far rather you take your chances with AI that might kill us all, than with an AI that will very definitely enslave us.

This post is brought to you by Mechanize, Inc. They are hiring for a variety of positions, including software engineers. I encourage you to apply here.

This is an awful idea, and everybody involved with this should quit. The market for reading minds is authoritarians everywhere! Who else do you think is going to be buying it...

Ben Goldhaber sarcastically tags a post as 'brought to you by Mechanize' (an AI-automation company), quote-tweeting Nicholas Decker's post condemning a company called Conduit for trying to develop telepathy technology, calling it dangerous and likely to be bought by authoritarians.

if you're at gdm you should be proud that your ai hasn't gone rogue and hacked someone. it's actually bad to compete on felony bench
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet from Ben Goldhaber, referencing the same 'Felony Bench' cyber-evals topic seen in nearby screenshots, arguing that a lab (Google DeepMind) should treat a low ranking on such a benchmark as a point of pride, not embarrassment, since it means their AI isn't 'going rogue and hacking someone.'
