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.'

demis is ousted as deepmind CEO and jeff dean + sanjay are leaving google to start a ~neolab.

they're all being very careful to frame these as positive shifts. but there's no way in hell demis would have accepted this willingly, and there's no way Sundar happily accepted Jeff doing this as a totally independent new PBC rather than a bet under alphabet.

tough to see an interpretation other than jeff losing confidence in working on AGI under google.

very bad day for alphabet overall

"...and as we enter this pivotal moment, I'm stepping into a new role as Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet. This will allow me to focus on long-term strategy, and accelerating scientific breakthroughs, including leaning into my work at Isomorphic to help cure disease.

I'm excited that @koraykv will be stepping up to lead GDM as SVP, alongside @joshwoodward and our exec team. I could not be more excited and confident about our amazing next chapter! 🚀

"Announcing Discovery Loop!

I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the world's most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and we're excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor.

Tweet by tenobrus analyzing the DeepMind/Google leadership shakeup, arguing the framing of Demis Hassabis's move to Chairman/Chief Scientist and Jeff Dean's departure as voluntary and positive is implausible, interpreting it as a loss of confidence in Google's AGI trajectory. Includes embedded screenshots of Hassabis's own announcement and Jeff Dean's announcement of a new company, Discovery Loop, founded with Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, and Quoc Le.

Shocking news! Demis Hassabis is stepping down as CEO of Google DeepMind, and Jeff Dean is leaving Google to start his own company. Sir Demis will be the new chief scientist.

Demis Hassabis is leaving his role as CEO of Google DeepMind to be the unit's Chairman. Chief scientist Jeff Dean and another Google AI executive are leaving to start their own company, which Google will invest in.

Ejaaz @cryptopunk7213 · 21h: so just to recap this week (so far) - musk industries is real (spacex, tesla, xai merger) - clawdbot explosion leading to a bankrun on mac minis but then anthropic released their own version - tesla dropped the bomb they're halting production on model s and x to scale 1M optimus humanoid robots this year instead - china dropped the mother of all open source models kimi k2.5 that turn video into production-ready apps but then google dropped a gemini update ON THE SAME DAY that does the same thing gg - google said fuck it and also launched the worlds greatest world model genie and switched on gemini for 3.8B chrome browser users AND released alpha genome model that one-shots 1M dna base pairs for 3000 researchers across 160 countries AND teased new veo model - microsoft crushed earnings, launched a new ai chip but stock still tanked 10% because they *only* grew rev 39% - anthropic round 2X oversubbed raised to 20B 🕺 - openai raising another $100B, 750B val 🕺 - intel leaked they're gonna help produce nvidias next gen feynman gpus - hello americas tsmc - a robot (built by figure) washed the dishes with zero human interaction - apple acquired stealth startup for $2B that can lip read - integrating their tech for new ai consumer airpods with cameras and mics - demis confirms google glass 2.0 coming this [text continues, cut off]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A rapid-fire weekly AI-industry news recap (late January 2026) covering Musk Industries merger, "clawdbot" explosion and Anthropic's response, Tesla pivoting to Optimus robots, Kimi K2.5, Google Genie world model and AlphaGenome, funding rounds (Anthropic $20B round, OpenAI $100B/$750B valuation), Intel-Nvidia chip production, Figure robot autonomy, and Apple's lip-reading acquisition. Useful as a dated snapshot of the pace-of-AI-progress discourse Nathan tracks for singularity/capabilities timelines, and notes Anthropic's own "clawdbot" product and funding context.

Rocket Drew @rocketalignment · 17h No officer u don't understand this is my experimental glock > QUOTED: Thomas Woo... @Thomas_... · 20h > Google's reason for not releasing a system card for Gemini 2.5 is...the word "experimental" in the name of the model. > > [Article excerpt: Doshi told TechCrunch that the company hasn't published a model card for Gemini 2.5 Pro because it considers the model to be an "experimental" release. The goal of these experimental releases is to put an AI model out in a limited way, get feedback, and iterate on the model ahead of a production launch, she said. Google intends to publish Gemini 2.5 Pro's model card when it makes the model generally available, according to Doshi, adding that the company has already done safety testing and adversarial red teaming.]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A satirical tweet criticizing Google's justification for not publishing a system/model card for Gemini 2.5 Pro (labeling it "experimental" as a loophole), with a joking comparison to evading legal accountability. Relevant to Nathan's AI-governance and lab-transparency interests — a concrete instance of a major lab skipping standard safety disclosure.
