Most 401ks and pension funds do not invest in pre IPO companies, this is just blatant misinformation

Zitron is not a serious person

Doesn't their S-1 render this irrelevant? Their financials are clearly much better than we thought

I'm gonna take the other side of this bet, let's see who has more money in 5 years ;)

Interesting, the current gen of models feels quite close to AGI to me. If you showed it to me 5 years ago and told me nothing about how it works, I'd probably have called it AGI.

Total power over others. If they want to maintain it, they can just make it so and nobody can stop them.

This is really fascinating, I'm thinking of putting a significant chunk of my net worth into the four AI labs (maybe 40/30/20/10% across Anthropic/OpenAI/Google/Meta, alongside another large investment across the chip supply chain).

It seems obvious to me that we will get superintelligence in the next 5 years, and that is a winner take all race. Who knows to whatever extent money will matter after this.

It's so interesting seeing all of these breaches and then going back to the old threads on Mythos and seeing the widespread skepticism and denial on HN.

I wish I was schizophrenic enough to come up with conspiracies this interesting.

What if they build superintelligence?

Lemonade isn't intelligence. Having 4000 liters of lemonade doesn't give you a competitive leg up over a lemonade stand with 2000 liters.

People can be as anti-AI as they want, they'll still be totally dependent on it. It's not like anyone is pro-Meta, but billions are addicted to IG.

Where do you think almost all of that $67B is going, if not to their infrastructure and inference costs?

If your hyper growth startup does not have more liabilities than assets, it has fucked up.

One day the automated decisionmaking systems will be far better at making decisions than us. That day is not far off. At some point, we will turn to these systems for our most important life-and-death decisions. I don't think that's irrational.

In this era, intending to corrupt the automated decisionmaking systems we rely on, will certainly be sabotage (if done with that intent, as is the case with OP). However, I don't think any sabotage would actually work well in the era of superintelligence, so perhaps the point is moot.

I love how everyone from every political background thinks big tech has it out for them specifically. No, it couldn't be that algorithms are stochastic and random and sometimes ban random people. The tech companies are trying to manipulate everyone, every single side, into some goal only they understand.

Somehow none of the hundreds of thousands of software engineers that have worked there have managed to uncover exactly what this purpose is despite having access to the monorepos and visibility into the recommendation engine pipelines.

On the modern internet, people confuse conspiratorial thinking for well-reasoned thinking. But an idea is not correct just because it is interesting or exciting.

You phrase this as a "gotcha" but I don't think you understand that NGOs and nonprofits are the exact kind of entity that would naturally be involved here.

Algorithmic transparency is a deeply unprofitable and difficult task, with people from all sides screeching at you thinking you're biased against them. Governments obviously shouldn't be involved (unless you're a fan of state-controlled media), and so the only people that will take this on are people that care enough about the impact of social media on society to give up careers in the private sector.

If you care so much, you can always join one of these NGOs! You won't. I guarantee you they are not as biased as you think they are, and they certainly don't hold a "shadow ban this guy" hammer.

Shadowbans have a high base rate. You notice when it happens to your side and take it as a sign of bias. You don't notice when it happens to the other side, because that is not your circle and you don't track them as closely.

I guarantee your political opponents also think Meta is trying to shadow ban then.

Or the public could grow up, learn that algorithms are stochastic, and not let their vote be influenced by the number that pops up when they type in "vote" in the search bar.

If this is influencing your votes your democracy is already lost.

Most current laws around booby traps and sabotage. Intent obviously matters a lot, and under the stated intent this is illegal.

> be to somehow get all world knowledge and tool calls into a audio space, which seems like quite the stretch.

It seems quite easy? They have the natural language bit nailed, they just need to convert the text with it. And it wouldn't be hard to extend architecture this into outputting tool calls.

I don't think you understand how illegal this is. As these models start being used for autonomous decisionmaking in medicine, defense and whatnot, this will be considered industrial sabotage and if it ever harms someone you are so fucked.

I'm not even debating the morality of AI and LLM companies here, this is just fact. If a pharma company is illegally using your water source, you cannot poison it knowing the pharma company will then use this water. Well, not unless you like prison.

If you do this with the intent of LLMs scraping this and this ending up in the corpus used by LLMs, it is indeed very illegal, especially as LLMs become more load bearing for medicine, defense, etc.

It's a bit strange to call it a dead end when this was trained on just a single NVIDIA GB200 NVL72. LLMs couldn't do much back then, either.

It was trained on one NVIDIA GB200 NVL72. This is a tech demo!

Very cool work, I love what you guys are doing!

Why can't Apple just sandbox the damn thing? Run the renderer in a VM, call it a day.

Or just spend a few billion tokens rewriting the whole chain in a memory safe language. This nonsense is inexcusable in 2026

Token burn is insane and it sucks at long horizon tasks.

The Manhattan Project was not democratically confirmed. There are just some things you don't leave to the normies.

Lina Khan had great ideas but ultimately her legacy is eliminating low cost airfare
