Worldwide spending on AI is projected to reach ~$2.7T this year. Yet, only ~1% of it is expected to go to the models themselves.

“Our models found the spy” is the hardest flex in AI right now.
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work. At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated. We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

NEW: OpenAI’s new AI agent, Dot, which looks a lot like Grok Bot, fails to respond during its first live demo. “I guess Dottie is having kind of a slow morning.” Also, why does your own AI agent need to ring three times before answering?

Deleted Muse after seeing this post on Threads about how it told some Facebook Marketplace sellers the guy’s address and they showed up at his door Dangerous and creepy This would have been 1000x worse if the person was a woman

Antigravity actively going backwards in time
Antigravity 2.0 now features a dedicated planning mode, just like the Antigravity CLI. Type /plan and the agent steps back to think through the task, and conduct extensive research, before generating an implementation plan for your review. The agent will ask for your approval before it begins executing on the task. You can also ask for a plan naturally in your prompt, for a lighter version of a plan.

Everything you want is on the other side of not giving a fuck, asking again, and taking another shot. Life gives you endless lottery tickets to try and you only need one win to change your life forever .

The AI agent race will be the most important tech race in human history 1000x bigger than the AI model race Whoever wins gets ALL our personal data, gets a % of ALL our transactions, and basically determines the information we see and what we purchase Somehow AI agents have made people completely disregard privacy. Nobody cares. They connect literally EVERYTHING to their agents All their emails, personal texts, calendars, buying habits, everything. Never in history have humans cared so little about privacy We are willing to give up quite literally every piece of data we have in order to save time on responding to emails And this isn't criticism. I've done it. I've connected everything to these agents. They're wildly helpful. I don't regret it. I'm making thr sacrifice to increase efficiency But we are about to enter an age where all of these tech companies will pour every penny they have into pushing their agent. The prize for the winner is too big They'll have every piece of data from all users, plus you know they will start taking a transaction fee from every purchase the agent makes Not to mention the advertising opportunities. They will 100% start charging for companies to be prioritized when the agent makes buying decisions. This will be a bigger ad revenue opportunity than anything we've seen before Agents will be the most profitable area in tech ever and it wont be remotely close. Now it's just up to you if you want to give every piece of your data to Meta, SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google

A hundred thousand genius-level employees, reporting to you tomorrow morning. That is the real offer on the table this decade. Most people will use it to write emails faster. Please don't be most people.

to build a cool product now, you really only need two ppl: one dude with exceptional vision & taste who knows what should exist & can provide the right feedback loops for iteration. & one dude who is absolutely relentless about making it real no matter what. that’s it. & sometimes these two are the same.

You’re supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Connections, looks; money, all of it. You're not noble by picking the hardest path just to look like an underdog.

"anthropic is using the same playbook religious institutions have been using for centuries" "you will all die. and because i can protect you, you must follow me, you must do what i say" "this is the same psychological concept"
We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies. These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve. We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

Sorry, but asking Jacob about AI extinction risk is like asking your AC guy about climate change. Not saying it's necessarily uninteresting or wrong per se but let’s keep things in perspective and hear from the full range of expertise across the ecosystem!
