Dario was at Manifest confirmed? [QT @SophiaCai99: NEW: Inside the 24-hrs before WH slapped export controls on Anthropic - Last Thursday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raised concerns about Fable jailbreak to Trump admin - Friday AM, Sean Cairncross, Bessent, Susie etc. held WH call to discuss - Then White House started reaching out]
China distilling models is definitely a national security problem, especially for cybersecurity focused ones. In a way, the admin played to Dario's hand, he gets to sell his otherwise loss leader product to orgs that can't afford not to buy it at a premium, and got free [QT @apples_jimmy: This makes more sense - 'The White House imposed export controls on Anthropic's powerful Mythos AI model partly over suspicions that a China-linked group had accessed it, a person familiar with the matter said.' There's been a pattern of unauthorised access to Mythos.]

The European Union's climate commissioner has told the 27-country bloc that the only way out of energy crises fueled by the wars in Iran and Ukraine is homegrown energy, and that the EU must accelerate its transition away from fossil fuels. One country leading the charge

Trump 'agreement will be signed in hours'; Iran circulated competing versions; Sunday signing timeline; Jonathan Finer: Iran believes it has 'upper hand'
Iran circulated competing versions of a proposed interim agreement with the US, even as President Donald Trump stuck to his Sunday timeline to sign a deal.
A U.S Sailor aboard USS Milius (DDG 69) stands watch as the guided-missile destroyer transits regional waters supporting the U.S. blockade against Iran. As of June 14, CENTCOM forces have redirected 142 commercial ships that complied and disabled 9 vessels that did not comply.
The war with Iran has led to the largest oil supply disruption in global history. Can the world use the crisis to support a green energy transition? In fact, that transition may have already begun.
Anthropic's shutdown reminded Carney of Lehman Brothers. He ran 2008. The man comparing AI to a financial crisis governed two central banks through one.
Americans can't find jobs. The number of Americans not in the labor force who currently want a job rose +76,000 in May, to 6.2 million, the 3rd-highest since July 2021. These are people who are not officially part of the labor force, meaning they are not actively looking for [work].
👀 [QT @AvigdorLiberman: If the Iranians fire missiles toward the State of Israel, at that very moment Israel must launch an attack and destroy Kharg Island — and then 90% of Iranian oil exports disappear. If they decide to go crazy, we know how to go crazier.]

At Stability AI, I contributed to HDiT (invented by my colleague @RiversHaveWings) as a side project to explore some diffusion research outside of the medical AI work I was doing.

OpenEvidence is understandably not happy with the recent LLM benchmarking study! I agree with the larger point of better benchmarks needed. Perhaps OpenEvidence could be evaluated on our open and completely transparent Medmarks benchmark suite 🙂 [QT @EvidenceOpen: Rigorous evaluation of medical AI is good for everyone, and we welcome it. Counter to a half-dozen independent studies from institutions such as the Mayo Clinic that were highly positive on OpenEvidence—a lone paper now purports to show that generalized AI beats specialized]
With college graduates jeering mentions of artificial intelligence at commencement speeches, and voices as disparate as the Pope and technology giant Anthropic warning of the risks of unmitigated AI development, public sentiment toward the technology has sobered considerably

post-Mythos; 'informal licensing regime'; 'no consistent rules or firm boundaries on state power or public transparency'; 'Cobalt mining in the Congo is vastly more institutionalized'
Make no mistake: post-Mythos, the United States has a licensing regime for AI. It's just informal, with no consistent rules or firm boundaries on state power or public transparency. Cobalt mining in the Congo is vastly more institutionalized than frontier AI licensing in the US.
The big winner in all of this is going to be open weights models. This is a huge win for the field, as a risk that was entirely theoretical and untested 2 days ago (that a model could be pulled back), now has a new precedent that's been set. The game theory the US should highly

This is where I'm at on rates [QT: The asymmetric trade right now may now be dovish. If rate hikes do not materialize, SOFR has to price them out. Even if Fed simply stays flat, that becomes a passive easing impulse. The point is not that cuts must arrive immediately. It is that max hawkishness may already be priced.]
