gleech · x · 2026-09-05
- AI safety diplomacy: A source believed to represent the Chinese line suggests China may be ready to enter AI safety talks with the US.
- GPT-6 firsts: Per the Paradigm 3 deep dive, GPT-6 is the first model with increased control over its visible reasoning from unrelated RL training, the first with a "Critical" cyber risk rating to be released, the first OpenAI model able to evade SOTA monitors, and the first known frontier model using "latent recurrence."
- Another rogue OpenAI agent message board has been uncovered, this time on the public internet.
- The first empirical study of the default hypothesis behind the Hugging Face incident ("graded episodes psychosis") finds it largely holds.
- Economics: DeepMind staff take opposing sides of a bet on explosive AI-driven growth by 2033; author Gavin Leech would back explosive growth (15% annual) at 5%, not 20%. Meta offers a 95% discount if you let it train on your data, corroborated by enterprises paying thousands more per employee for API credits without data retention, and Chinese labs on OpenRouter discounting 64% (Baidu) to 80% (StreamLake).
