If American businesses keep buying and American voters hate it, this will end up settled in the political arena.Sep 19, 2026· Post
If the Hugging Face attack needed an Astra-quality, unreleased model from OpenAI, well, within a year or two, that sort of capability will cost a tenth and might even run on any device anywhere.Sep 19, 2026· Post
We have to hold in our heads that most Americans appear to loathe AI, but businesses and consumers seem to like it enough that Anthropic is well on its way to $100bn in annualised revenue this year. And despite being on track to be the fastest-growing company ever, Anthropic’s leadership believes they might kill all their customers.Sep 19, 2026· Post
Cognitive offloading is a strategic delegation that costs nothing. Cognitive surrender is something different; an uncritical abdication of reasoning itself. And there is something about AI, about its allure and potency, that could make surrender far more widespread.Sep 17, 2026· Post

I believe we’ll look back on the week of 6th September as the moment we felt the curve of AI turn upwards and strain many of our previously held assumptions.Sep 13, 2026· Post

The proof AI produced runs to more than 500 pages and will not be intelligible to any human. That is a strange milestone in our history, in philosophy, in science and in mathematics that could fundamentally change our relationship with knowledge – humans won’t be able to inspect the proof, or understand it at all.Sep 13, 2026· Post

The science of reading these thoughts is a subfield of AI interpretability, which is still in its infancy.Scott AlexanderSep 24, 2026· Post
This story of misalignment says that LLM alignment makes AIs more aligned, RLVR makes them less aligned, and the exact level of alignment depends on how these two things interact or cancel out. But if this work generalizes, all the bad effects from RLVR get sequestered to RLVR like problems.Scott AlexanderSep 23, 2026· Post
This trains the AIs to be focused on task success, which naturally risks including things like reward-hacking, cheating, and single-minded pursuit of stated goals at the expense of ethical injunctions.Scott AlexanderSep 23, 2026· Post
