This is one of the stupidest and dangerous things I've seen in AI to date.
Have an upcoming piece (nearly finished) that'll dive into why, but in the meantime I advise staying as far away from a model (or lab) like this as possible.
1. Bicameral Labs introduces: Qualiaphobia for AI Safety.
AI architectures engineered to be hostile to theories of consciousness (both current and future) can not only solve AI welfare, but ensure human preferences dominate the future.

We have a right to compute. We must fight this.
We lost decades to this in nuclear energy which is only now being turned around. We cannot allow this to happen again.
The Nuclear Policy Playbook for Derailing the AI Revolution
As this new lawsuit mentioned in this AP story below makes clear, the third component of the 'How to Derail the AI Revolution Using the Nuclear Policy Playbook' is now underway in America. To recap the 3 steps of that anti-innovation playbook and where things stand currently as applied to AI:
Step 1: Whip up extreme fears about an important new technology until a full-blown techno-panic grips the minds of the public, the press, and policymakers. Step 1 is complete and has been remarkably successful thanks to an ever-growing coalition of fear entrepreneurs funded in large part by the Effective Altruism (EA) movement. Never in American history has there been as much fear surrounding a new technology as we see today around AI, robotics, and advanced computational systems. That mass hysteria is what fuels Steps 2 and 3.
Step 2: Unleash waves of new legislative and regulatory measures and just keep layering on the paperwork, permitting processes, confusing and contradictory new compliance requirements and threats of punishing liability at every step. Step 2 continues to unfold at all levels of government--federal, state, municipal--and will ramp up significantly in 2027-8. Next year we will likely see far more than the 2,000 bills we saw this past session. Many more will pass as AI techno-feudalism takes over America. Every state, city, and county will have its own repressive regulatory regime for these technologies. It’ll be like an ‘AI Articles of Confederation’ or ‘AI Holy Roman Empire’ model of governance as mass NIMBYism and “vetocracy” take over.
Step 3: Flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits based on junk science and enlist greedy trial lawyers to do the bidding of the anti-development forces. Step 3 is now gaining steam and this new lawsuit will be the first of many like this to weaponize our broken tort system. This will be the ultimate stake in the heart of the AI revolution. There is just no stopping the trial lawyers once they set their sights on a sector or technology. They will extract every last penny out of it (and then funnel lots of that money to the Democratic Party to make sure that no limits on liability, frivolous claims, and junk science are put on the books.) The only reason this liability hell did not decimate the Internet was because of the existence of Section 230 and the First Amendment. But now every politician in America wants to dispense with Sec 230 and skirt the protections of the First Amendment to let trial lawyers sue every tech company in America into bankruptcy using amorphous “safety” claims at every juncture. With Step 1 complete and Step 2 well underway, junk science claims will overwhelm judges and juries and the endless search for deep pockets will end with historic settlement and payouts.
Again, we have been here before. This 3-part model is a time-tested script for ending a technological revolution. It decimated the nuclear energy industry and now it will do the same to AI, robotics, and computational innovation.
It is the death of technological dynamism and an unmitigated disaster for our country, our geopolitical standing, and the public good.

I want to share one interesting "drug experience portfolio" of an anonymous reader who contacted me. The complete list of drugs they have ever done are:
- Caffine
- 5-MeO-DMT (all doses, many times)
- Mushrooms (all doses, many times)
- MDMA twice
- Ketamine twice
And that's it.

stop focusing on what “they” should do and start focusing on what *YOU* should do

we should not like a future where there are 1 to 2 AIs and the rest are illegal. we should want a cambrian explosion of the types and possibilities of minds, experiencing new joys and thinking new thoughts. ensuring that this is compatible with human flourishing is only step 1

Jensen Huang wants to make AI locally available on hardware for ordinary people. This irritates the establishment because then they can’t have a monopoly on the tech to surveil and tyrannize the ordinary person. So they drum up fake moral scandal over him cheating. Meanwhile they themselves are all pedophiles. It’s so obvious to anyone with eyes.

Fears of open source providers shutting down is an opportunity for the crypto community to stand on its cypherpunk ideals and create a decentralized solution
You heard it here first.
Once Jensen falls Hugging Face shuts down, and after that nobody's downloading open models anymore. The people at the top only care about money and power. Our freedom won't survive that.
So pull the open models you care about off Hugging Face now, while you still can. Nobody knows what the next few years look like.
Grab a mix of sizes:
• Ornith 9B
• Qwen3.8-27B
• DeepSeek-V4-Flash
• GLM-5.3
Save each one as GGUF Q4. Add the MLX 4-bit for Apple Silicon when there is one, and NVFP4 if you've got Blackwell hardware.
4-bit is the sweet spot. You keep the quality and don't burn storage.
Can't run the biggest ones yet? Doesn't mean you won't be able to tomorrow.
Stash them somewhere safe. One day you'll be really glad you did.

There are likely unwritten contractual terms that only the family knows about.
In Asia this is how things get done quickly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jensen has handshake guaranteed a number of suppliers that he’d bail them out if they got in trouble. That enabled those suppliers to be courageous enough to use their balance sheet and not overly demand prepayments from Nvidia.
In a way it’s accounting fraud. It’s an off balance sheet unreported liability. It allowed the entire supply chain to take more risk than any individual supplier would have been brave enough to.
That’s over now. Collette will find that she won’t get the same terms as Jensen. It will confuse the crap out of the company why their suppliers asked for 10% prepayment from Jensen but are now asking for 80%.
If a CEO hypothetically wanted to make his departure maximally painful for the company he would have:
No successor, no COO, no president besides himself, dozens of direct reports, no 1:1 coaching for any of them, a cult of personality, and all key company contacts as his personal relationships
This is going to be tough

Hi @JensenHuang - good to see you lawyered up. I’m not sure what the legal battle ahead of you looks like, but it will come, you will fight it, and that will be what it is. Unfortunately, you’ve found yourself in this predicament in the midst of the final war.
You have an opportunity to do something genuinely historic here. Establish an open foundation to develop a real, open-source competitor to CUDA. Rally your fellow open-model patriots. Give independent researchers and open-model labs the compute, tooling, and infrastructure they need to actually compete with the closed labs, not merely survive on their scraps.
You have the resources, relationships, and technical talent to make this happen. There are thousands of brilliant people who would gladly join you in this fight.
I really do believe this is it. Either we liberate intelligence and distribute its benefits to mankind, or we allow it to become the most powerful instrument of centralized control in human history. There is no guarantee we get another shot at this.
History is full of tragic falls. It is human to err. But history also remembers great acts of redemption, men who, having fallen, found the courage to do something greater than themselves.
Whatever happens to you personally, you can still help determine which future we inherit. Don’t go quietly. Make yourself impossible to erase.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

I feel like there's something to attachment to outcome wrt modern dating thats messing a lot of people up. Just like you cant really just go work for money and only money or it doesnt work, you cant meet and befriend people if you will only consider the relationship a success if it turns sexual/romantic. Its an ulterior motive. People can sense that.
You can just meet people and vibe with them and enjoy their company, unattached to outcomes, because if youre attached to an outcome, do you even actually like them?
There is a dating and gender discourse that is neither manosphere nor feminist but a secret third thing and I’m realizing this third thing needs to be much more fully and explicitly laid out for many people because it’s currently not obvious at all
