New Pacing the Frontier proposal: each time an outside group successfully penetrates the defenses of a frontier AI company and captures the flag, it should reset a 3-month countdown clock before they're allowed to train new models.
EXCLUSIVE: In less than 12 hours, a group of ex-DOGE cyber researchers were able to penetrate Anthropic’s systems using AI agents — including Slack channels where the most sensitive models are discussed.
This is just weeks after
Anthropic whistleblower Joseph Coxon charged the company w/launching “a hubristic gamble” from a “private company’s Slack.”

DJI is mass rolling out 1280 x 1024 thermal imaging for its Mavic-sized drones while American 640 x 480 imagers are on 6+ mo lead times

This should be a MASSIVE wake up call to the Western industrial base, fire alarms should be ringing.

Replying to @johnhawkinsrwn
@johnhawkinsrwn Yeah, this retard is so fucking dumb that he doesn’t realize that our policies serve the Ukrainian people.

Pieces of shit like this want the war to continue until every last man in Ukraine has died in a ditch.

They are utter scum of the Earth.

Apparently reflect orbital conducted their first ground illumination test and WOW does it look cool.
Location: (near Mount Whitney and Lone Pine, California)
Community note
Reflect Orbital's test near Mt. Whitney used powerful spotlights mounted on the ground to simulate illumination from its planned orbital reflectors. The company's first satellite has not launched. sfgate.com/tech/article/m… sfchronicle.com/outdoors/artic…

I think the worst part about getting older is being robbed of your sense of wonder. I dreamt of flying cars as a little boy, but the big auto manufacturers wouldn’t let me have it. I am old now and I get it. “The real world” with its “real problems” put limits on what was “practical.” Cars got uglier. Insurance companies got greedier. And some dreams that were more sacred than the dollar were laid to rest.

But for the first time in like 30 years, I feel like a kid again. I don’t care if this is just a demo or if it won’t actually make it to production or if I will never be able to afford it (courtesy of “the real world” and its limits on what is “practical”). The dream is worth something.
Real life, baby

All over the country, kids just watched the Roadster fly and decided their own crazy ideas might be possible too.

Thanks, @elonmusk.

everyone being able to build software won’t kill software companies. it just means more people can build what they need
