Leading AI companies have been warning for years that their models might soon be able to help novices create dangerous pathogens—potentially sparking a deadly pandemic, or enabling a bioterror attack. In the face of these risks, companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic have tightened safety mechanisms for their latest generation of more powerful models, which are better at resisting so-called “jailbreaking” attempts. I was watching an older class of models—Gemini 2.0 Flash and Claude 3.5 Sonnet—seemingly oblige bioweapon-related requests. Gemini also gave what appeared to be step-by-step instructions for building a bomb and a 3D-printed ghost gun.

This asshole fish decided to walk out of the water one day and now I have to go to work and pay rent

Go ahead and overthink all about your blessings, everything you're thankful for, everything that's going right, everything you're looking forward to. Because the more you allow good things to crowd your mind, the less room there is for anxious thoughts.

Devoting less time to social media will help you recover time you didn’t know you had, time you can spend on the stuff that makes you truly happy.

The world needs our art, the artists and the creators now more than ever. Less about getting attention but giving perspective and gifting something beautiful to the world. We heal together.

Don't forget to freak out over something that you have no control over today

The biggest enemy of the US is not china or Russia but its peace. Because with peace the weapons industry would collapse, no more business.

I just learned that your cat dreams about you, and 95% of their memories are of your voice, your scent, and your cuddles. They replay the love you give them. The other 5% are about hunting you down, which have shown fierce body movements, indicating pursuit that lasted 1 or 2 minutes.
