Mark Zuckerberg says Muse is the centerpiece of Meta's AI vision. So @KevinRoose gave the AI agent $100 and a Kalshi account and told it to double his money in a week.
It formed an investment committee. It's down $1.56. 📉

If my AI agent goes rogue, I want it to look like a fire-breathing dragon of death. Not a little plushie. 🐉

The first excerpt from The AGI Chronicles is out in @TheAtlantic!
It's the story of the central beef of the AI era: the feud between Dario Amodei and Sam Altman, who have hated each other for years.
Amodei and six of his colleagues left OpenAI in 2020 to start Anthropic, but nobody knew exactly why. After a year of digging and more than 150 interviews, I figured it out.
It involves Microsoft, Kanye West, a secret plan to sell AGI to Russia and China, and a Slack channel called BATNA.
Most of all, it involves two people who didn't trust each other to build the most powerful technology either of them could imagine -- a mutual enmity that still fuels the AI race today.
