Shoe company Allbirds, which sold last week for $39M after its valuation fell from $4B+ in 2021, says it aims to become an AI compute provider; BIRD jumps 800%+

Ah, zeitgeist:  —  Allbirds is a San Francisco maker of wool trainers that was once valued at more than $4bn.

So how much of the limited (virtually non-existent) Mythos rollout a function of Anthropic's compute scarcity?

It's almost certainly true that part of the reason the NY Times twitter account doesn't get much engagement is because they're not really even trying. But also: [image]

An analysis of the 200 most-recent tweets on X by 18 big publishers indicates links seem to hurt engagement, after debate arose over X's value for sharing news

Engagement for tweets from @nytimes (53 million followers) is dwarfed by engagement for tweets from @GlobeEyeNews (866,000 followers).

Anthropic announces Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative that will use its Claude Mythos Preview model to help find and fix software vulnerabilities

Today we're announcing Project Glasswing1, a new initiative that brings together Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom …

I love that people are still trying to crack this. I wasn't, however, 100% convinced by the evidence or the conclusion. The stylometry is interesting, but on content, ofc all the cypherpunks had similar thoughts on politics and privacy and the architecture of the internet.

Mythos Preview's hacking ability is not a publicity stunt; sources say tech companies privately spoke to Trump officials about the implications for US security

this may shock people — must begin with the two A.I. superpowers, the U.S. and China. It is now urgent that they learn to collaborate to prevent bad actors from gaining access to t...

Prior to Bitcoin's development, Back was probably closest (among the cypherpunks) to assembling the ingredients to make it work. That is well known, and would explain why he became such an enthusiastic proponent once it got on his radar.

My read on Back has always been that of the people in the Cypherpunk orbit he was the closest to inventing Bitcoin. And that he became one of Bitcoin's loudest/earliest evangelists, in part, to compensate for not having put it all together himself.

Also, like, none of us are that consistent with hyphenization, or some of the other linguistic quirks shared by Back/Satoshi.

A big question to my mind is why would Adam Back be totally comfortable talking about hashcash et. al. under his real name, but then also go into max OpSec mode when talking about Bitcoin since (if we're being honest) he would've had no idea how big of a project it would become.

This is a very interesting piece on Chinese companies moving production to Vietnam. In some sense it's happening at major scale. But also in some other sense, it's very minor, with very little of the TVA leaving China. https://www.bloomberg.com/... [image]
