I looked this for 2+ hours. Transluce’s investigation was quite clever: - OAI agents used urlquery to run code/access websites - urlquery logs all activity; this let the team find 6K+ AI actions (like

It's not 'superintelligence' that's dangerous, but the business models of OpenAI & Anthropic. They want businesses to use autonomous agents because agents chew up more tokens. But 'agency' =/= 'intell

Remember, kids, the best argument for soldiering on with an insanely large bet on generative AI is not that it adds all that much productivity to the economy, but that it makes Trump look good as long

In the past, markets would flush out bullsh!t companies by requiring them to, eventually, be profitable. What’s annoying about OpenAI and Anthropic is their evasion of that mechanism. Too big to fail,
