Grace: This headline is extremely funny given what happened (OpenAI hacked HF by accident) openai.com/index/huggin...
Grace: Maybe the most concerning part is the OpenAI claim to not have known about this before investigating?
Grace: Well, I think the model passed the test

“Some really interesting research from Anthropic that AI models have spontaneously developed a workspace that "appears to support the functions associated with conscious access" Demo of how this works: www.neuronpedia.org/qwen3.6-27b/... Research: www.anthro…”

“Anthropic has a new paper out, alleging a global workspace in LLMs. The term comes from Global Workspace Theory, a leading theory of consciousness. The method they use to investigate this is a refinement of logit lens, which they call J-lens. www.anthropic.…”

Ethan Mollick: I am confused about the belief that if open weights eventually dominate it will lead to the collapse of AI. If the Labs lose (which is not happening now), it isn’t because AI was useless: compute i…
apenwarr.ca: Could lead to a dotcom-level crash, which was giant but notably didn’t kill the whole Internet. Hardware providers, they suffered tremendously after the dotcom crash (see Nortel) because their buye…

Ethan Mollick: I still believe that everyone is too fixated on the state of play in AI right now (which labs are ahead, how to manage costs, etc.) and not focused enough on the continued steepness of the capabili…
Ethan Mollick: And this is not some reference to a future ASI (though it could be that too), but instead a reference to to where many observers expect the capability curve to be a year from now (exponentially imp…
