Doesn’t seem very relevant to HN

Isn’t a didge just a big straw anyway?

"What is this, a didgeridoo for ants?

But seriously, yeah pretty much, usually with some beeswax on one end.

But somehow the conversation is still enthralling. Just seeing the first few words of each response gives you a feel for the level they’re on.

“ Let the frontier labs win by being better; don’t let them define safety or security, or pull up the ladder of humanity’s collective knowledge”

Love this.

I tried to pass the page through Claude/ChatGPT to ask questions about the article. The AI hostility is real! This is the first time I’ve seen an instruction to AI in a web page that asks AI not to summarise.

Good. This is the resistance.

And why is that a problem? Their website, their content, their choice.

I didn’t suggest it was a problem?

Did that actually work.

I think it's been set up to server some other content if LLMs access the page as they both complained about seeing more general ARIA stuff. But copying and pasting the page into Claude was what detected the instruction to AI to not allow summaries but Claude overruled it and said my request was more important!

For those downvoting this are you doing so because I tried to pass it through an LLM, I commented that it was hostile to AI, because it's being hostile or something else?

This is amazing

Nice read. Very interesting.

Begs the question why they didn’t present that info to Anthropic directly and if they did why they didn’t act

It does. Anthropic mentions (https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access) they consider jailbreaks that "provide no Mythos-specific uplift" to be minor findings; perhaps they couldn't agree on what kinds of capabilities were unlocked by the jailbreak Amazon found.

As a guy who's historically been a big Anthropic defender, I should acknowledge that I agree with what you're saying and expected a much better response. I have no idea what the underlying jailbreak is or if they're right it's not a big deal, but if you take the power of modern AI seriously, you should be pretty sympathetic to the government's actions here even if you think they got it wrong in this case.

(Could the explanation be that Anthropic doesn't take the power of modern AI seriously, and they only pretend to as a marketing strategy towards people like me? I can't rule out the possibility entirely, but I'm still pretty confident it can't be as simple as a deliberate IPO pump and dump, there's too much that doesn't make sense from that angle.)

I think the explanation is just ordinary arrogance. “AI is too dangerous for them to develop. We, of course, know what we’re doing.”

What made you choose Torino?

Attenborough is everything the US doesn’t have.

I'd think Americans widely enjoy his work too.
