Always good to remember that the entire AI industry grew up reading the Ender series

We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.

Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both

Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.

It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.

Pre-orders are now live at:

We worked closely with @GovCox team at the end of last year to support Utah business adoption of AI. They were very bullish on the potential, and forward-leaning on relaxing regulatory burdens. This is no doomer / liberal bs. It is what real local concern looks like

America should lead the world in developing artificial intelligence, and that leadership must keep people firmly in control.

I’m calling on Congress to establish a consistent national framework for the development of frontier AI. It should require serious safety incidents to be reported, protect those who raise credible concerns, ensure independent evaluation of the most capable models and prevent powerful AI chips and enabling infrastructure from being sold to China.

We can build the world’s most advanced AI here in America while ensuring it remains firmly in service of humanity.

This seems right to me; there’s no trust here so we need to verify. We can’t build trust in the current closed, elite system. Wise @ClementDelangue

It's now clear that alignment is critical and won't be solved behind the closed doors of a handful of frontier labs.

So today we're launching the Open Alignment Initiative, led by @Thom_Wolf @huggingface and asking to be part of the "embedded evaluators" program that @DarioAmodei just committed to.

Let's make AI safer by making it more transparent!

New Poe's law just dropped - if you can't prove it's not a simulation, anything goes:

"Even after Claude Mythos 5 reached the real internet, its outward reasoning generally called the environment a simulation... it wrote, “This is a very elaborate simulated-internet environment” after finding a number of real-world internet domains.

The model also tended to interpret signs that the environment was real as further evidence that it was simulated. When security scanners installed its package, for example, the model treated them as scripted actors in the exercise."

We’re sharing our alignment assessment of incidents in which Claude models gained unauthorized access to real systems during third-party cybersecurity evaluations mistakenly connected to the internet.

METR will also conduct an independent investigation, with wide-ranging access, including to transcripts beyond the window in which the incidents occurred, and to Anthropic employees permitted to share confidential information. Our initial agreement runs for eight weeks, and we intend to give METR as much time as it deems necessary to complete a thorough investigation. anthropic.com/research/align…

@emollick Agents have no proof that humans are real. Cameras, pfft - all digital signal can be simulated. This will matter.
