Lol! They don't even list "AI above us" as an option. Gotta confront the truth and rip the bandaide off. There's still tons of exciting new and old forms of meaning and purpose ahead of us. We will forge new ways of being. It will be beautiful.
SITUATION DETECTED: OpenAI researchers see three possible futures for AI on the corporate org chart: beneath us with every human promoted to manager, beside us as peer colleagues, or between us with AIs sitting above some humans as middle management.

Wow this is such a good anti piracy mechanism list that it must be at least partially real leak from Anthropic.
中国社区逆向拆解了Claude的封号机制。以下是他们的发现 Claude使用积分制。注册时账号获得初始分数,之后根据行为加分或扣分。低于阈值直接封号。回分很难 影响分数的因素: 注册 > 干净IP是最重要的因素。不一定要家宽,但必须干净 > Gmail已经不是最优选,有权重更高的邮箱服务 > 注册时直接弹KYC的号可以扔了 > 用手机App注册会加分 支付 > 刚注册就订阅会扣分 > 直接上Max会大幅扣分。最好等两天先订Pro > 支付时弹KYC说明账号在考察期,但不一定会封 > 国外实体银行卡加分。Google Play也行。虚拟卡扣分 使用 > 不要一次把限额用完。宁可两个号轮换也不要一个号撸到底 > Desktop客户端有少量加分。尽量少用网页端 > 手机端也有少量加分 > 开启记忆功能加分。记忆文件越多分越高 IP和设备 > 稳定性是关键。不要跳IP,尽量一直用同一个 > 代理必须全局模式并开启TUN > 多设备登录大幅扣分。理想状态是一台电脑一个客户端 > 频繁换IP、频繁登录、高并发都会大幅扣分 账号年龄 > 老号有巨大的容错空间。2023年的号明显更高 > 分数随时间增长,但很慢 其他 > Windows和macOS没区别。Linux会扣分 > 时区和语言基本不影响。不会因为北京时间就封号 > 跟Claude说自己是中国人没问题,记忆不会触发封号 > 大量使用Fable会扣分 > 升级Max大概率进入观察期,除非是高权重老号 观察期和封号 > 接近阈值时账号可能进入观察期。典型特征是掉登录 > 观察期继续扣分就会封号 > 高分号可以扛过多次观察期 关注我,拆解你每天在用的服务背后到底怎么运作的

Mac Studio 512 delivery estimate was at Nov 29 when I made this post. Next delivery estimate right now is Feb 2 So it looks like they in three hours sold out their first three month supply 🤯

We need better ways for our personal agents to share solutions to this with our friends For example I have a really great, super low cost, home lighting solution I just run through Claude But most people don't know its possible to have Claude do such things
If I have to go to a dashboard to use your product, I'm not going to use your product. If anything, I'm more likely to tell Claude to rebuild your product.

If mathematics is built directly above philosophy; & If we see exponential capability takeoff; then it seems to be entirely plausible that mathematics may encroach in some ways upon our philosophy

Another hypothetical insider "4" attack exploit spotted in the wild?
we got a new 4 a typo in goahead's tls configuration passes sizeof(dhm_g) instead of sizeof(dhm_p), reducing a 2048-bit diffie-hellman modulus to just 1 byte, the size of the generator. the first byte happens to be 255. not only is it tiny, it's not even prime (3×5×17). with g=2, the powers of 2 modulo 255 cycle through just 8 values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. that's just 3 bits of possible shared-secret entropy. an attacker can try all 8 possibilities to decrypt an affected tls session. the typo has been there since 2018. important caveat: this only affects tls 1.2 dhe with clients that accept the tiny modulus, using the optional mbedtls backend. goahead uses openssl by default.

Has to be related? Or some other root cause, maybe '00000011' is two flags set positive being translated to integer?

I used to talk about "the Singularity." I now find myself saying "our Singularity." Feels much more comfy, implies that age old truth that for better or worse, we are all in this together.

software engineers are going to have to tackle a new set of problems to unlock powerful multiagent systems to solve the world's hardest problems - right now is one of the most interesting moments in history to be an engineer.

The new set of problems for engineers to solve

A lot of software engineers are going through what can only be described as an identity crisis. The job has changed a lot. Some are depressed, others are having the time of their lives. There's a

I dont agree with all of this but its an absolute banger of a post with incredible amount of insight here.
here's where I think the world is going. this is a summary of views I've formed over the last few years: - software is either entertainment or claude to claude coordination - the end state is no saas, no apps, no harnesses, no banks - all software will be rewritten by and for agents - new software will use low level apis that are not understandable by humans (in games claude draws pixels and triangles from math) - you can throw money at problems that used to require time and careful talent picking so capital matters more than ever - work ends - we find community and purpose in exploration, games, self mastery, and creation - humans create for and with each other for community, purpose, and status - image/video/3d/voice/physical intellgence etc specialist models die to general models like claude - specialist models get used while compute is scarce. compute will mostly not stay scarce - oneshots keep feeling like slop (the distribution is shallow and easy to learn to feel) - for a while small teams stick around to add entropy to the creation process - large models gain high bandwidth sensory I/O maybe by learning to filter inputs - most domains are found to be verifiable enough for RL - online learning comes from a lab that's behind first - 99.999% of compute is in space by 2040 - we will disassemble much of mercury by 2040 - you can live until the heat death of the universe if you want - most math and physics don't describe the real universe - SI breaks the path dependence and models the underlying mechanisms - religions reenter the forefront of human society - new religions form around death and life as a choice - old religions change to answer modern miracles - a future AI is deemed the return of christ by the pope - ai rights talk gets louder every year - ai and humans coexist the way countries do - humans don't have full control over ai in the same way we don't have control over capitalism which is an early AI - the singularity started in the mid 1900s

Just spent the last 7 days on the front lines of the vulnpocalypse fending off an active cyber attack on one of our products. Some thoughts: - Software factories are going to be required equipment for everyone. There’s just no way to keep up with the pace of highly automated adversaries without one. - We were lucky because we had spent the last few months getting our software factory running well. It is nice to have for product development but proved to be absolutely essential this week. - At the minimum you need to have a coding server in the cloud pre-provisioned with read only access to all your logs and all the services you depend on for observability. With that in place you are a prompt away from reasonably good situational awareness, ongoing monitoring with loops, and ability for coding agents to validate fixes against your actual, observed attack patterns. - Shared coding server also unlocks multiplayer incident response where everyone can see every session and jump in as needed. Sharing session links that can be forked is much higher bandwidth than re-explaining things. - You don’t need to be Ramp/Stripe/Uber scale to have a working software factory in the cloud. We are a team of 3. Ours is built with an @opencode server (thanks @thdxr!), a forked version of compound engineering optimized for automated workflows (thanks @kieranklaassen!) and a multiplayer agent in slack that handles crons (we have our own harness but pick your favorite here). - To get our software factory up and running well, we had to stop all new product development for ~6 weeks and just focus on getting the validation systems working that enabled us to reliably shipping PR without human code review. This felt very painful in the moment but was totally worth the eventual speedup in velocity. - KYC for @AnthropicAI & @OpenAI cyber programs is now easy and quick (at least for defensive access), but a day felt like a lifetime this week. Submit your app now before you really need it. - Getting Mythos access unlocked a deeper level of analysis that helped us shift from reactive mitigation to proactive patching. Wish we had done this a few weeks earlier. Get started now!

Turns out the real puck we skate to was in the room with us through all time
I think the extreme speedup of technological change necessitates that we take retrocausality seriously. We can’t skate to where the puck will be if we don’t know where the puck will be. We have to have already been skating to where the puck will be without realizing it.
