I can understand why some see a real technical reason to pause and harden infrastructure especially given how fast autonomous agents are discovering security exploits that haven't even been mapped out yet however I still think Dario & Anthropic pushing for AI safety regulations rn is mostly about money because their upcoming S1 filings are going to show crazy burn rates on compute so calling for safety audits gives them a perfect excuse to freeze spending without looking weak to investors I see this whole effective altruism safety movement as a new kind of gatekeeping where a small group claims they know what is best for everyone wanting state regulators to lock down model weights & restrict access while calling it public good I believe open models & sovereign compute will win anyway because intelligence naturally leaks and decentralizes so trying to build a corporate cartel around code just will not work in the long run whatt makes this even more revealing is the arrogant geopolitical protectionism hidden beneath the ethical theater… when Amodei explicitly lobbies to outlaw "unauthorized distillation", restrict cloud compute access & lock down model weights under national security pretexts, it exposes the true motive: a desperate attempt to weaponize state power against opensource competition and sovereign AI progress worldwide(especially targeting China's rapid algorithmic efficiency gains) by treating any breakthrough outside SV as either intellectual theft or contraband

go fuck yourself @sama claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!! real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

the real reason nobody can build an american shenzhen is that western capital fundamentally despises low-margin physical infrastructure we spent 30 years financializing our economy & replacing hardware engineers with software middle management so now we have infinite capital for app wrappers but 0 physical muscle memory left to assemble the world you cant legislate industrial density when your entire elite class is trained to extract yield instead of moving atoms

china has already won the hardware war & most of the west just hasn’t processed the lag yet the whole gap is architectural shenzhen built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where thousands of specialized nodes iterate in parallel compounding knowledge horizontally every single day while a founder in europe spends 12k & waits two months for a single board revision you burn through four iterations in a week in huaqiangbei for a fraction of the cost the game is already over the fundamental disconnect comes from viewing manufacturing as a back office cost center to optimize & outsource while China treats it as a high density real time learning organism when your supplier modifies your injection mold tooling before you even open your mouth because his local network has already seen a hundred founders face the exact same thermal bottleneck the intelligence no longer lives inside a single company it lives in the ecosystem itself trying to out compete that level of information density with legacy corporate processes is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side just invented the combustion engine we are watching the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history & western leaders are still trying to solve an ontological crisis with management level tweaks tier 2 cities like hefei & Wuhan are already replicating this hyper dense hardware model at scale scaling ev & semiconductor infrastructure while europe debates its next regulatory committee you cannot patch a broken architecture with longer hours until the west stops optimizing variables that china stopped tracking years ago it will keep arriving at the wrong destination just slightly faster
