the worry is that this will be interpreted as tampering and cary consequences.

This would not be tampering, because you haven’t tampered with anything. The “evidence” is simply at home.

The law isn't a computer program. Intent matters.

Try proving intent when it’s a common practice. I’d even say it’s a best practice these days, especially for business.

You’re fearmongering. Find me a case of someone getting prosecuted for having a burner phone. It doesn’t exist.

If you're worried about that, you are not living in a free country anymore.

> when you can just start from zero, look at what's known to be happening right now, and draw a very straight line to catastrophe.

The problem is that it's not a straight line at all. "We are failing at alignment" is a valid concern, but there's not a straight line to "we will all be extinct within x year", and it's always a wild hyperbolic leap.

Do you assume that every post criticizing anything is part of a sockpuppet disinformation campaign as well?

I guess that's one way to guarantee development slows down to a crawl, but in no way would it increase trust.

why would that be the case? it's not true for top secret defense contractors today. and the frontier labs already operate in the dark, openness is a liability.

nationalization to me simply means the government is their main customer and stakeholder, and shield them from liability, governance, and openness. not that the frontier labs become part of the government per se.

>eans the government is their main customer and stakeholder, and shield them from liability, governance, and openness

I personally believe they already have this, why would the current government at least want to formalize this when it can have it with no public discussion.

Well we can say whatever we want if we have our own definitions for everything, no?

It depends what you mean by meaningful, but yes, qwen3.8 27b is pretty mind blowing to me. It can easily solve portswigger labs for example at q4_k_m.

strange assertion as this has been an ongoing problem from day one.

Do you use a 3rd party provider or use deepseek directly?

DeepSeek. Every now and again I get a notification that I'm running out of credits. That means I've got less than US$5. I usually wait another week or 2 and top up another 10.

As someone who gets a ton of these inbounds every day, I report every single one of them as spam.

Agreed. And nowadays any sales or promotion posts thst look llm generated are flagged as AI slop

I have a theory that when someone is ready to resign from a frontier lab they must get offered a substantial bonus to post the most unhinged doomer take they can think of.

I find them very useful.

I have been finding them decreasing in the effectiveness with each model release. We got rid of skills and built a determinist harness around the agent instead.

I use skills to automate non-development workflows, like for malware analysis, etc.
