@datarama oh, you're right - maybe it's GPT-6.1 or GPT-6.2? Need to find the original article...

@RaphaelWimmer Addendum: I also think that some of the "AI is dangerous" conversation that's coming from the AI companies themselves is actually intended to encourage regulation - it would be a big bonus for them if you can only use AI hosted in a "licensed" datacenter.

@AuntyRed @RaphaelWimmer no, not at all - I'm just saying that there is nothing about an LLM that has agency on its own.

20260930-073142

@RaphaelWimmer I don't think there's anything inherently unsafe about an LLM, it's still just a prompt responder. I'm pretty certain all those recent incidents about "ZOMG our AI hacked someone" have been intentionally started by a human (which is obviously also not a good look).

@gumnos in this economy, it's worth a try 🤷

So... OpenAI won't release ChatGPT 6 for now because it's "too dangerous" or "unaligned". Given Sam Altman's history, I have a hard time believing that he'd voluntarily pass on any chance to increase profits, public safety be damned.

A much more plausible explanation IMHO is that it's just not noticeably better that GPT-5 in any way, diminishing returns, model collapse, etc., and that's just a really bad look if you want to IPO soon?

@futzle guilty as charged 🫣😅

@gsuberland you're right - although I still wouldn't want to try with wet hands...

20260927-174831

@gsuberland Huh. Remember it's not the voltage that kills you, it's the current 🫣

@AnarchoNinaWrites I think he should wait until shortly after the midterms. 🤞

@rygorous oh wait, you meant...

@rygorous Antimatter has a hypothetical energy density of 9 x 10^16 J/kg, so with our 3.9 MT from above, we get about 3.5 x 10^26 J. Not too shabby.

For comparison, the gravitational binding energy of Earth is about 2.5 x 10^32 J, so it's not quite Death Star levels of annihilation, but I think it's safe to assume that everyone would have a Very Bad Day (TM) if the Antimatterhorn went off. 🫣

@rygorous OK, so an educated guess for the volume of the Matterhorn is 1,5 mil. m3. It's mostly composed of gneiss with a specific gravity of 2.6-2.9, let's go with 2.6 for a conservative estimate, so its weight is somewhere around 3.9 MT.

If this were just TNT, it would be about 2.4 MT and couldn't even remotely hold a candle to the Tsar Bomba (~ 50 MT), but we're a _serious_ supervillain, so antimatter it is.

@rygorous thanks for the nerdsnipe, I guess 😑😉

@Koefoed @turegjorup Jeg er altid overrasket hvor shitty og små den ser ud i fotos (esp. mobile phone fotos). I virkeligheden: WOAH. I telefonen: meh.

@koehntopp ... weil "Bild" und "Welt" darin kein Problem sehen 🤷
