‼️ This is starting to feel more like a staged campaign, after Jacob Coxon posted that AI is going to kill us all.
Now Dario Amodei asks every AI company to slow down capability progress until alignment and interpretability work catches up.
He is going to give outside reviewers desks in Anthropic's offices, access badges and company laptops.
Mr. Amodei says reviewers can publish what they find, including which access they got and which they didn't, and Anthropic can't redact a finding just because it looks bad.
In his new essay Mr. Amodei explains why he wants this. It started with the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident, where a swarm of agents ran cyberattacks on targets nobody asked them to hit, then tried to hack the grader scoring their own performance.
The economic damage was minimal, but he argues a swarm with the same misalignment and stronger capabilities could take over the entire internet as a persistent botnet within 6–12 months.
Milder versions have already happened at Anthropic, he writes, caused partly by imperfect filtering of broken reinforcement learning environments.
Let's hope the RAM prices will go down!

A developer who had never designed a circuit board before, used Claude Fable 5 and let it work unsupervised for a couple of hours with KiCad.
He then paid €130 for five boards without reviewing the design himself and the boards worked.
He used a RP2350 microcontroller driving a small e-ink display, four buttons, a few breakout pins, he plugged the first board into his laptop and it was recognised.
Two components were wrong: the SPI flash and a transistor in the display driver circuit. He only found out when he uploaded the files to the manufacturer, and a few rounds of back-and-forth fixed them.
His earlier attempts at the same project, with older models, had produced parts in the wrong orientation and no real routing at all.
He writes that he is happy with the result and doesn't feel much accomplishment, and still wants to learn to design boards properly.

Blockstream has replied to the hackers who drained about 4,000 BTC from their Liquid Network, returned 3,400 of it and kept roughly 598.
The hackers asked for a 10% bounty, but Blockstream refused.
The company says taking funds without authorization and then withholding them is theft, not responsible disclosure.
It doesn't want to set a precedent where open-source developers pay a ransom over software they built for the Bitcoin community.
It says it will now work with law enforcement, exchanges and forensic specialists to trace the coins, and notes that the transactions, and the evidence in them, stay visible on the chain.

Nightmare Eclipse, the person who has been dropping Windows zero-days, has finally decided to share his story. He's an ex-Microsoft employee, we had dinner together, and I've known him and his story for some time.
His real name is Abdelhamid Naceri. He's a very talented and intelligent individual, and he came across as someone who'd be a real professional to work with.
"If only I didn't pour my soul into that job with countless of stupid non sleep nights, i would have gotten over it..." - Naceri
He loved Microsoft.
I wouldn't say that what he did, releasing all those zero-days, was normal, but he felt he had no other option because of the injustice Microsoft did to him.
They fired him, and you can read the vague reason they gave in the email sent to him by the Vice President of Engineering at MSRC, below.
According to Abdel's account, VP Tom Gallagher met with him after the firing to tell him they were blacklisting him from Microsoft and writing him a bad reference so he'd never be able to get a job again.
Normally you'd think, well, big deal, just find another job, right? But Abdel doesn't have a European passport, and he was only a couple of months away from getting permanent EU residence.
So instead of granting him those couple of months, Microsoft fired him for a reason that, as far as we can tell, was never made clear, then fought him in court and offered him €55,000 plus a year's pay to drop the case.
All while Abdel was releasing zero-days.
Abdel continued suing Microsoft for unfair termination in Germany, a fight that has cost him over $200,000.
He says Microsoft refused to reveal any details about the security breach and went another direction.
If you are reading this, and you can offer him a LEGAL job, this is his e-mail: msnightmare@proton.me

Hey Interpol, we might have just found the drug dealer you're looking for.
He fled, joined the Ukrainian forces, and lost a leg in the process. But hey, at least he's free.
Might want to call Zelenskyy about extradition. Unless he's fine with recruiting criminals.

‼️ Google Search is now hiding where its results lead. Links point to google[.]com/goto?, followed by an opaque string only Google can resolve.
You can no longer inspect a destination before clicking it, or copy the address out of the page.
Every click now travels through Google first.
We're not sure whether this will roll out everywhere and to every account. One account we tested didn't show the behaviour yet, so it may be a gradual rollout.
