And in the meantime, every site in the world gets hacked. It takes far longer to fix every vulnerability than it does to find one unpatched one. Mythos has led to huge numbers of reported vulnerabilities on every kind of software. If those were all dropped as zero days (which is effectively what an open weight model would do), attackers can choose an unpatched on at their leisure while defenders race to fix them all and update everything.

Says who? Just write the law so it is.

> Under your current definition, Mythos is currently in public access.

Yes


Those are not incompatible. He can still be one of the most hated people on the planet, even if lots of people like him. The same would apply to all of the most hated people in history.

If any of the orgs that were hacked decided to sue OpenAI they'd probably have a good chance of winning. It's just that none of them has.

This isn't cybersecurity. You can't use an LLM to create and administer vaccines for all potential bioweapons.


Yes, but it can't preemptively develop and distribute vaccines for any possible pathogen created by AI. Once they've infected everyone it's a bit late

Did you study Biology in college or at least had AP Biology in High School?

Or do you read long form content in good magazines/newspapers on vaccines, disease, etc.?


Would college biology have let me into a secret world where you can develop vaccines for viruses that don't yet exist? Ones that cover all possible variants, and where an AI can't tweak a protein or two in an engineered virus to avoid them?

cf-ray is the Cloudflare ray id, which ends with the airport code for the colo that served the response. They're airport codes, but that's just to show the nearest city.

> It's Bluesky, they hate AI

There is a very vocal section of the userbase who are vehemently anti-AI. Blocklists help avoid them (using them or being on them). However there is also a really good AI community on there. It's generally a lot less commercially-focused than on Twitter, for better and worse. It helps that atproto itself is really good for agents. They know how to use it, and the data is all open and accessible. Lots of people have been experimenting with agents that "live" on Bluesky, some of which are really interesting.


I wouldn't say it's a "really good AI community". There's not really much discussion that happens on new papers, techniques, new GPU kernels, topologies, etc etc. There's a few folks whose content I enjoy that generally revolves around philosophizing around how widespread LLM-style intelligence will affect society for both good and bad which is fun to read from time-to-time but not the level of context I desire out of an AI discussion.

Unless I'm not following the right people which can totally be the case. I've stopped using the platform regularly because of how present this mob mentality toxicity is on the site.


Fishing was a big issue during Brexit, despite contributing less to the UK economy than Warhammer.

> YouTube support is a convenience for content you have the right to process

Seems like a great way to have your project taken down


Agreed, this is a very silly thing to include in an otherwise perfectly legitimate project.
