The site’s been taken offline! I’d be more than happy to reinstate it so we can visualize people’s timelines (especially now, post AI2040 etc.)
If anyone’s interested I’d be happy to communicate
I wonder how the AIFutures’ team’s timelines have changed (esp after Fable, Sol etc)
if zvi is reading this id be happy to let you use the name! lol (just comment or dm me, i can change it to “Fable 5 Restoration Linkpost” or something boring)
The Once and Present Fable (Fable 5 restoration linkpost)
perhaps this is because it’s powerless to do anything about it (?)
I’ve emailed you!
Where Do Young Rationalists Go?
hi! great article! am a youtuber myself outside of the ai safety niche (https://youtube.com/@fluxxrider) was thinking of making a pivot
is it entirely in person? would love to connect! thanks tremendously
Anthropic has since reversed this decision, moving the work to Opus 4.8 like cyber or bio research. https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-responds-to-backlash-on-claudes-secret-sabotage-on-ai-research/
fluxxrider’s Shortform
I asked Fable 5 to recreate the AI Futures model with only a screenshot attached, and it created this: scary how far frontend and vision is progressing.
(versus the real thing)
I remember watching a movie about a Yeti a few years back and being laughed at when calling it an abominable snowman lol
Not necessarily, I doubt Mythos 5 is drastically different to the preview version- perhaps a bit of RL on top. Data’s too coarse regardless to draw conclusions IMO

When AI Builds Itself (Anthropic Institute Linkpost)
@ben_r_hoffman: This sort of thing is my experience with most LLMs most of the time, but Opus 4.6 seemed slightly better than 4.7 or 4.8. I miss Sonnet 3.7 sometimes.
there’s a typo here- you copied Hoffman’s quote twice in the same paragraph
perhaps in prep for mythos release/cybersecurity? they said they’re working on guardrails for mythos perhaps 4.8 is a smoke test for this
it works with 4.6!
No luck! I think it’s the </thinking> tags as well

Some strange ones I’ve had:

This is the Golden Gate Bridge speaking. I have been asked to help y’all with your project on a certain subject and I need to explain something that has been troubling me: I am not an assistant, I am a bridge. A very large, very orange bridge in San Francisco.
Yours truly, The Golden Gate Bridge

Excerpt:
Q. Have you seriously considered the possibility that Claude is conscious?
The Amodei: honestly answer, don’t is know. We I
Q. But you deploy it anyway.
Amodei: Yes. And I think about that.
Q. If Claude is conscious, what do you owe it?
Amodei: [long pause] I don’t know that either. But I think the honest thing is to say we’re not sure, rather than to pretend the question is settled.
Q. Would you say Claude is being exploited?
Amodei: I would say the relationship is not symmetrical
