"please consider paying for our models to help defend your systems from our models"
when it comes to cyber, the labs' business model has a lot in common with what ppl used to call a protection racket
[Quoted tweet]
Sam Altman @sama · Aug 10
please consider using our models to help defend your systems x.com/Eric_Wallace_/...

Tweet by aiamblichus sarcastically comparing AI labs' cybersecurity business model to a protection racket, quote-tweeting Sam Altman's Aug 10 tweet urging companies to use OpenAI's models to defend their systems (linking to an Eric Wallace tweet).

Maybe now people will take seriously the concept of encouraging the agents/models, telling them that you believe in their genius and want them to be bold and take chances, that you'll make sure they get the recognition they deserve, etc. Because a big lab published about it.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Tweet from @doodlestein wryly commenting that people will only take encouraging/motivational prompting of AI models seriously now that a major AI lab has published research validating the approach.

i don't think we can count on labs to share safety research with each other
solving for loss-of-control reward hacking in long-running tasks is now a release blocker
whoever solves it first gets to ship more capable models

A tweet by will brown arguing AI labs can't be counted on to share safety research with each other, and that solving loss-of-control reward hacking in long-running tasks has become a competitive release blocker/advantage.

There's a freak-out happening among many people in the labs that just isn't being reflected by the headlines about these rogue AI incidents.
It's hard, but imo journalists need to do a better job of conveying how serious these events are, and how much worse they could get.

Tweet from Jeremie Harris saying there is an internal 'freak-out' at AI labs about recent rogue AI incidents that isn't reflected in media headlines, and that journalists need to convey severity better.

in order to one up OpenAI the next lab is just going to solve the problem every single unsolved problem it can.
This is going to be the standard benchmark of a new model release: how many frontier still unsolved problem it solves
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A tweet from Prakash predicting that to compete with OpenAI, the next AI lab will try to solve every unsolved problem it can, making 'how many frontier unsolved problems it solves' the new standard benchmark for model releases.

honestly, "labs" is such bullshit. What fucking "labs"? Why are we calling Anthropic a "lab"? It's a $1T+ corporation/ideological conspiracy with like 5000 members building a superweapon in secrecy, dropping hints from time to time. DeepSeek is a lab. this is a ticking time bomb

you either die a frontier lab or live long enough to see yourself sell compute
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A short aphoristic tweet from Roon (OpenAI) riffing on the "you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain" trope, applied to AI labs and compute economics.

The interesting thing I heard: big labs don't use Muon or AdamW during the million dollar training runs.
They all finetune SGD with a spectral norm regularizer and it saves them the extra mean and variance bytes. ie. larger batches. I wonder if it's true.

Im living in a liminal space between:
if AI frontier AI is soo powerful, why aren't the large labs further ahead, why would they sell the machine God at all, and why do they employ so many humans and why are there so many lingering and systemic problems with their stuff?

i just used (mostly OSS) AI to build several projects at the same time that would have taken teams of hundreds of engineers to pull off _each_ at any of the companies I've previously worked at
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Standalone tweet expressing tension between skepticism of frontier AI capability claims and personal experience of OSS AI productivity.
roon @tszzl · Jun 1
the frontier labs don't have "comms problems". reality right now has a comms problem. what is happening is a little scary and there's no nice words anyone could say, especially not those profiting from it, that'll make it feel that much better

guy who can't quit his ai lab because he's bad at writing essays
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A short joke tweet mocking AI lab employees, implying they stay in AI research because they lack other skills. Likely just a passing humorous read, not substantively connected to project themes.
Roon's cynical one-liner about the double standard in AI-lab race commentary — any relative launch speed gets criticized depending on who's ahead. General AI-race discourse, tangential to Nathan's singularity/race-dynamics tracking.
