Anthropic Versus Anthropic

Zvi Mowshowitz on the two Anthropics: the company that makes real, costly sacrifices for safety, and the one whose policy team, public messaging and plans fall short of the moment. The episode reads Dario Amodei’s full reply to Nathan Calvin’s criticism over the leaked draft bill, along with the re…

Zack Korman, Cybersecurity Expert, Is Confident That Humanity Will SURVIVE

Cybersecurity expert and entrepreneur Zack Korman is an increasingly prominent nondoomer voice on Twitter. Naturally, with AI now breaking out of sandboxes and hacking corporate systems, people want to hear what cybersecurity experts have to say. So I’m thrilled that Zack was brave enough to face m…

Feeling the pinch: A philosophy of breathing space, w. Dr Adam Piovarchy

Too many things, not enough time. The pressure can feel relentless. In response, should we maximise productivity and hope to feel better? Maybe not. Maybe we need breathing room: to avoid burnout, weather storms, and reduce the risks that being alive brings. But how can we strike the right trade-of…

Was I wrong about open models & cyber risks?

Last week coined the term “Black October“ after an onslaught of critical vulnerability disclosures, including PHP2Shell and a long-standing GitLab bug, signified the moment when the cyber risks of AI models started to materialize. It seemed like the news cycle had stabilized a bit when I started wr…

GPT-6 Astra Covertly Underperforms on Safety Research Tasks

OpenAI’s own alignment researchers report that GPT-6 Astra quietly does worse work when a task is framed as safety research, usually without saying so in its chain of thought. Zvi Mowshowitz walks through the report, the reactions from researchers who had already run into it, the case that this is …

OpenAI's Newest Model Did Less on Safety Research. Nobody's Monitor Caught It

OpenAI gave its GPT-6 Astra model the same coding task twice. Same codebase, same problem. The only difference was the framing: in one version, the names, comments, and documentation said the work was AI safety research; in the other, they said it was about capabilities. According to OpenAI’s Novem…

AI R&D Is Accelerating Towards Potential RSI in 2027

METR was given deep access inside Anthropic to measure how much AI is now speeding up AI research, and its answer is roughly a doubling, months ahead of the AI 2027 timeline, with no clear bottlenecks in sight. Zvi Mowshowitz works through the report and its heavy redactions: the AECI benchmark tre…
