@rasbt “@natolambert Shadow-banning LLM development was certainly not on my bucket list for 2026”

DA

@DarioAmodei “In addition to transparency, I now believe frontier models should face mandatory third-party testing for cyber, bio, and autonomy risks—with the power to block or revoke deployment of models that pose catastrophic risk.”

GO

@Google “Because it generates everything at once, DiffusionGemma unlocks new patterns of model behavior. ⚡ Fast: Generates up to 1,000+ tokens a second for up to 4x faster text generation. 💻 Lightweight: Runs smoothly right on 18GB consumer graphics cards. 🧠 Smart editing: Since it processes larger amounts of information at once, it can easily fill in blanks, format code, and fix its own errors in real time.”

@MarcJSchmidt “@SemiAnalysis_ it literally makes you waste tokens and gaslights you on purpose, isn't that illegal”

SO

@PrimeSontiac “@jsrailton This is what always happens with government measures btw. > government censors something > good people don't use it anymore > bad people find ways around it > bad people now have big advantage over good people”

@geoffreyirving “@allTheYud Thank you! I think we’re both saying correct things: the claim is not that if AGI is possible you get an *aligned* researcher, just that the AGI could choose to do alignment research if it wanted to. And it won’t necessarily!”

AN

@antirez “They train on tons of public data and I'm the first to say that training is not copying the content: but, this is ok as long as the training you do is not used against the same culture that allowed you to create what you created. We need to oppose to all that.”

@trq212 “here's the deck from this video if you want to go over it yourself: https://thariqs.github.io/cc-video-editing-deck/ lmk if you have any questions!”

PS

@peter_szilagyi “@aliomerhorzum @lex_node Well, they were also welcome not to scrape the internet and steal all copyrighted material - rather build up their own knowledgebase - but they ignore that, didn't they? So your reasoning does not stand.”

@benthompson “@deanwball Maybe folks who pushed back on Anthropic's positioning in the Department of War debate actually foresaw *exactly* this type of behavior?”

@ClementDelangue “@francoisfleuret I think people are more pissed about cutting access to the millions of AI builders who are not from competing frontier labs & the manipulating part that they’ve been advocating against”

@keithofaptos “They're trying to slow all the other model builders, especially China. It's super bad form. They know it, and obviously don't care. At all. It shows what's coming amongst these so called front runner frontiers. And it's going to eventually stop China from sharing so freely. All the bench tinkerers will suffer also. It's pretty much anti-open source. And what really sucks here is all this seems to be coming off of the exact opposite of what Elon funded OpenAi for. Greedy pathetic thieves imo. Now Google is raising up and Elon is way behind. It is shameful. The biggest technology the world's ever had and these are the games we move into the future with?! This approach doesn't end well.”

@ylecun “@sriramk We've been colliding head-on repeatedly for several years now.”

@__tinygrad__ “@mattparlmer They won't change course until it's too late for their company. With a long term view this is good for AI though. If Google was evil from the beginning, the web would be a lot healthier today.”

@_arohan_ ““Shampoo falls halfway between Muon & Adam” was the very confident claim. This has been addressed. It had to be done. Nesterov largely have not been useful in language models from my experience and now for that I got the answer as well. Not enough effort has gone to these submissions. This is why we do tuning budgets anf made as fair comparison as possible @zacharynado https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.15015”
