I'm actually fairly bearish on frontier lab valuations. I've never seen the reasons articulated to my satisfaction, so before I go to sleep, I wanted to quickly jot down my thinking here. The basic is
Right now we’re in the midst of a historic transition from traditional public-key algorithms based on EC-based cryptography and RSA, moving over to new post-quantum algorithms based on novel problems.

Go ahead and ask yourself, really ask yourself, if all these confident predictors are wrong about jobs and not training radiologists anymore and fast take offs, what else are they wrong about? Then as
Recently I've flipped from being bullish to being bearish about AI. I think I'm updating my bearishness to be more solidly bearish. Early thoughts (which I hope to be disproven in the next year or so,
We recently joined NVIDIA, Microsoft, and others in supporting open-weight AI. Today, we’re putting that belief into the product with model choice on Replit, starting with Kimi K3. The future is the r
You patch security holes by intentionally finding them. If the models refuse to do it, how can companies protect themselves against rogue AIs, whether they are Chinese or OpenAI/Anthropic themselves?
