Great week for Dario, landing good public comms and his biggest ideological enemy (Jensen selling chips to China) faces a huge setback.
“Claude can help US kill more people more quickly ?”
Host: “With the help of LLMs, the US military has gone from hitting 1,000 targets a day to 5,000. That means Claude can help kill more people more quickly. Are you comfortable with that?”
Dario Amodei: “I am supportive of the US being more effective militarily. Having that ability be stronger doesn’t cause wars. It deters wars.”
“Do you want this country to be a more powerful actor on the world stage? I do. I’m a patriot.”

el-sayed ideas on the 60m interview seemed inconsistent to me:
“Ai no.1 issue”
“50% gov stake and board in ai companies”
“Total pause frontier/ no rsi”
“_Can _build DCs”
“Federal oversight of ai companies”
Are they building rsi or not ? 🙄

Looksmaxx too hard and you see diminishing then negative returns.
Get too rich and and you have to defend against state sponsored spies
Most looksmaxxers are going to die looking like shit because returns from the pursuit are curvilinear. You eventually start working very hard to go backwards. Take for instance:
—-
Height. Your first inch costs $9 on Amazon, it fits in your shoe, it’s pure gain.
Your second inch necessitates a custom shoe, you walk a little funny, it’s still probably a net positive.
Your third inch necessitates you flying to Dubai to have an Indian in a Rolex saw your legs off and glue them back on with pieces of dowel stuck in. You’re a bit taller but you now walk like 3 penguins in a trenchcoat and the moment a girl invites you to play pickle ball your shins disintegrate so spectacularly that people online start calling it an inside job. You go to get your 250k back and find nothing but an empty office with a disconnected phone line. Dr.Lamborsinghi never even existed.

Physique works the same way. You get your first 20 pounds lifting and eating well. You feel better and live longer.
You get your next 10 pounds on 150mg of test and 12.5mg of Reta. You’ll be a pincushion for the rest of your life, the Reta strangely made music no longer sound good, and you’ll probably lose a few years on the tail end but the mog is still real.
Your next 10 pounds come from 500mg of test. You’re doing battle with your hairline. You have an armchair degree in endocrinology just to stop from lactating. Your cardiovascular system thinks you’re Alex Jones half way through a broadcast. It’s not worth it.
You go beyond test to exotic compounds. Tren, Orals, weird shit that commies put their ski jumpers on. You’re now speed running death in exchange for looking like shit. We call that Mike Israetel maxxing.

Everything in the pursuit is curvilinear. And almost every looksmaxxer will one day begin their descent. Why not just stop? Why not just do less? Well because it was never about looks to begin with. It was about being autistic and needing a craft.
Autistic men in the comments will be the first to back me up, you need to give your soul to something or you’ll go insane. Your options are to become a miniature version of Thiel, Clav, Elon, or a troon hanging from a ceiling fan. There is no in-between. None.
If you think there is, congrats, you’re headed for the ceiling fan.

Selecting aggressively high mdd-pgt depression gene, their escape will be creating generational art. Muahaha.
Every parent wants a happy child. So we built MDD-PGT, the first genetic predictor of depression for embryo screening.
Kids with a lower MDD-PGT tend to sleep better, fight less and enjoy jokes more. With 10 embryos, picking the lowest-risk one cuts depression risk by over 40%.

The so called train expert community haven’t said much about this. They have no credibility on this matter.

I’m relived that next time I go astray on my hikes, 1.2kg of snacks can be delivered to me 491mph 😋
My college dorm project just broke the world speed record.
Reaper hit 790 km/h (491 mph) carrying a 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) payload.
These 3 Reapers are now the world’s fastest small jet-powered drones.
Each of them can hold that speed for 4 minutes on a full tank.
Reaper can be rail- or truck-launched, climb to 2,000 m (6,600 ft) in under 20 seconds, then fly for 50 km (31 mi) at full speed.
This is now a reliable and repeatable system. Future testing and small optimizations should push the top speed past 800 km/h (500 mph).

The Twitter Cold War of October 2026
Japan ruthlessly defeated by the merciless French
China dealt a deadly blow to the Turkish with the sponge bob Patrick star flag inspo
The finale was China cutting ties with mbappe, and their European allies Spain

Visualizer of the exponent and growth
Here's a direct link to OpenAI's PDF claiming a refutation of ETH. In particular, it's claimed that 3SAT on n variables is in about exp(n/(log n)^{1/2+o(1)}) time

One of biggest unspoken issues in England is the brain drain London causes on the rest of country
London has better ~everything besides some university hot spots
Anyone with a sense of agency would take a 2h train ride rather than staying in an economic backwater
This has been a real eye opener for me in terms of what a lot of ppl think socialism is vs what it actually is bc I thought this was a positive outcome before I even learned there’s literally already a Lidl in Bath

My theory on the cve
If I were openai finding all these vulnerabilities.
I would probably try to get the most severe cve of all found thus far addressed first
Those with most blast radius
So the worst is probably over

Emudhra is incompetent but can someone explain why the ca certs are built this way
The whole system depends on
1) never having a compromised key
2) every machine to be actively managed for updates
Both are bad assumptions
eMudhra's statement: no breach, no end-user certificates issued, and the researcher probably used AI.
Meanwhile, every pip older than 26.2.2 still trusts their broken certificates, because pip ships its own list and you can't switch it off. Python devs are scrambling to patch every virtualenv, Docker image and CI runner on the planet.
Not one word from eMudhra about the mess they dumped on everyone else.

Refusing to watch the holmes documentaries or films is the right thing to do
Frauds, grifters etc shouldn’t be given an elevated status…
