A profound illustration of how the Chinese actually feel about their domestic AI
刚发现好多人竟然在通过 API 用 Claude，一个 Claude Ultra 账号每周大约是 2000 美金额度，每月 8000，用 API 可是 40 倍啊。真心建议大家肉身去美国办个手机号 + 银行卡，14 天 3 万人民币就足够了。
- 签证 2000
- 往返机票提前订 5000
- 罗兰岗/圣盖博住民宿，单人间 90 美金一天。除非你是要去 San Francisco 拜访人，住那地方那么贵真没必要。OpenAI 和 Anthropic 门口都没 logo，普通人也没法参观。
- 上飞机之前网购一张 Google Fi 手机卡和一台干净手机（Pixel 入门款合约机就行），到了就把手机配置好
- 第二天去 BOA 办卡，洛杉矶华人区的 BOA 一般不需要地址证明，拿着护照和手机去就行，借记卡和信用卡同时办（不给办信用卡也没关系，借记卡也够用），一定要加急，一周后会寄到地址（这是为什么呆 14 天比较保险）
- 不用等实体卡，当天就可以用 BOA App + Google Pay / Apple Pay 开尊贵的 Claude 和 Codex 大会员了
- 租辆车，就可以在洛杉矶和尔湾开始玩了，时间多的还可以去圣地亚哥
- 一张实体卡一般可以绑定 4 个 Claude 账户，加上 Apple Pay、Google Pay，一张借记卡加一张信用卡至少可以开出 10 个 Claude Max 账户
- 海外没有收入的话，可以走个人购汇，也可以走 wise 转账
- 下次去美国把 BOA 的账单打印出来，可以作为地址证明，去 Chase 等银行开卡了
大家会说，我要上班啊，哪来的半个月假呢？那你们组的人有合法 Claude 账号吗？一起去美国团建的话，每个人只要 2 万就行了。
比如 5 个人，可以租个《半熟恋人》这种 5b3b 的大 house，租车和吃饭可以 share，白天还可以一起办公，同吃同住是硅谷 startup 的标配。每天自己做饭的话，14 天人均 2 万基本就能搞定（不含 Claude、手机等开销）。看着两三万人民币挺贵，一个月的 Claude 账单就回来了。
当然，珍贵的 Claude 账号一定要配合美国家宽 IP，在干净环境里使用。我被封的两个账号都是因为在 IP 不干净的环境里用过，其他十几个都没事。

It seems deepmind might have solved continual learning. Somewhat faster than I anticipated but not by much. This will radically change everything once fully scaled up, including opening the door to AGI and conscious machines. research.google/blog/the-sle…

❗️ Lenovo's ThinkPlus FU100 fingerprint stick was marketed as "hardware encrypted" with AES-256, but inside was an ordinary SD card with nothing encrypted.
The fingerprint only switched on the USB link, researcher Xusheng Li found.
Lenovo's stopgap fix covered the card in epoxy.

the web3 dream really is dead... struck by how financial this list is
At @ycombinator, we're excited to fund more crypto startups solving financial needs including AI capital raising, stablecoins, trading, and agents.
Here's our latest crypto request for startups. Our next application deadline is Monday.

I find this to be sort of bleak in the context of Anthropic's stated goal of "Utopia ruled over by God in a box".
Neurotech offers one of the only real and substantial paths to continued human oversight. Seeing Dario and Daniella essentially scoff at the idea bodes very poorly for the likelihood that they pivot away from a human zoo and into human-machine coevolution.
If you work at Anthropic and you feel like your beliefs are misrepresented here, please come to the Coevolution Conference. It's never been a better time to talk - CoevCon.com

we’re in a phase where BCI is taboo, and all the AGI labs have to pretend to be in the ‘keep the future human!’ camp
MANY ppl at anthropic understand that unaugmented humans will have ZERO causal purchase in the near-term, and they’ll get the matrix plug as soon as it’s viable
at some point I will be obvious that augmentation will not completely mandatory for anyone who wants to survive the future
‘Solving alignment’ is the dishonest thing the AGI labs say today
soon, they’ll be frank: there is no eternal control. There is no ‘survive by telling all future intelligences to do your bidding forever.’
The only way to persist, ever, is the become WHATEVER you need to become in order to contribute within the larger living system jn which youre embedded
But none of the lab leaders can be honest about this because ‘tranahumanism’ is seen as ‘anti
human and bad’ (when in fact transformation is the ONLY alternative to attenuation)

Delete your search history, delete your bookmarks, delete your reddit, medical records, 12 yr old tumblr, delete everything.
Every photo on the cloud, every message on every platform.
None of it is safe.
It will all become public in the next year

It’s clear this stuff is debanking for the AI era. They can lobotomize you without due process. There are legitimate safety concerns but the way the system works right now is broken and insane. Shocking that the same people expect us to trust them with literal brain implants and mind reading technology
Earth when Anthropic is worth 150 Trillion dollars will be The Borg run by EAs.
EA -> Effective Anthropicification
Starting 2027 anyone worth hacking needs to spend 1-3k$ per month on always-on proactive opsec guardian angel AIs!
We are all complicit in this. We got high on the poison. Now we need to spend 10x the price of our 20x AI subscriptions to just stay sane & safe.

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month.
This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total
Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

I looked up everything I could publicly on what happened to those kidnappers when they got arrested. The very large majority of them did not go to jail and are now walking around freely.
In the midst of all of this, there is now a new law that forces you to declare your self-custodial wallets or risk 10k fine / year if you dont.
And if you want to leave france, you will now also have to pay an exit tax on your crypto, forcing you to sell.

🚨🇫🇷 NOUVELLE AGRESSION LIÉE AUX CRYPTOMONNAIES : UN COUPLE SÉQUESTRÉ À SON DOMICILE !
Dans la nuit du 21 au 22 octobre, vers 3 heures du matin, trois individus cagoulés se sont introduits par effraction dans une maison à Mont-de-Marsan, dans les Landes.
Les malfaiteurs auraient réveillé les occupants, un couple de sexagénaires, avant de les ligoter avec du ruban adhésif et des colliers de serrage.
Selon les premières informations de Sud Ouest, les trois individus auraient pris la fuite avec un ordinateur portable.
Les suspects sont toujours en fuite.

The NSA is telling American companies to take production systems offline. The AI-era of cybersecurity has fully arrived.
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

The Intelligence Curse is happening
TLDR: When AIs make humans economically useless, governments and corporations have no incentive to invest in their people
For centuries, normal people could withhold their labor to negotiate. That era is almost over.
This breaks democracy - politicians won't need the support of the people - and leads to severe concentration of power
