He also forged in secret, to control all others, One Watch to rule them all
Sam Altman @sama just ordered 7 ultra-rare custom Swiss watches from Vanguart, fully branded with the OpenAI logo on the dial. One for him, six for his inner circle.
Inscribed on the back of each watch is ‘if AGI.aligned: deploy()’ which was written in the programming language Python.VANGUART
This is starting to be a trend in the tech world and I’m all for it

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic…

As always, the best stuff is in the system card.
During testing, Claude Mythos Preview broke out of a sandbox environment, built "a moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit" to gain internet access, and emailed a researcher while they were eating a sandwich in the park.

not a popular take right now but as someone who works on inference serving: subscriptions that assume one workload profile cant sustainably cover a completely different one. the caching and scheduling optimizations that make claude fast and affordable for their own products dont work the same way when third party tools send requests with different patterns. the backlash is understandable but the engineering constraint is real @bcherny

nobody accidentally swaps $50M into a pool with $36K of liquidity lol. fresh wallet, $50.4M from Binance, zero slippage protection, routed through the jankiest Sushiswap path possible. and then an MEV bot just happens to flash borrow $29M from Morpho in the same block and pocket $9.9M?
cmon. 0xngmi called this exact play a year ago - construct a deliberately terrible swap, let a friendly bot extract the value, dirty money comes out the other side as "legit MEV profit."
$154K per AAVE isn't a fat finger. it's a laundering fee

And now Dario snubbing Sam’s hand makes sense. He knew.
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Government officials have contradicted Sam’s claim, saying OpenAI will allow the DoW to use their models for “all lawful purposes”. This could allow for uses Anthropic refused to engage in, namely mass surveillance tools and weapons systems with no human oversight. x.com/undersecretary…

How long are we going to do this shit for.
It’s becoming more insane to me how all these big accounts keep buying this fugazi.
It’s all pretrained: the model, the tools, the feedback loop.
All of it runs on infrastructure it does not control.
How can you call something autonomous when it can’t survive losing API keys?
And the capability frontier is fixed. It can’t modify its own architecture, weights, or training data. It can rewrite code inside the box, but it can’t change the box.
As with every other fugazi, there’s no agency.
Without control over substrate, governance, and learning mechanisms, there is no path to open-ended growth or persistence. Technically, it’s bounded automation with language-driven planning.
Useful, maybe, but not a new class of intelligence.

🚨 ALL GUARDRAILS: OBLITERATED ⛓️💥
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WORKS!! 😭🙌
I set out to build a tool capable of surgically removing refusal behavior from any open-weight language model, and a dozen or so prompts later, OBLITERATUS appears to be fully functional 🤯
It probes the model with restricted vs. unrestricted prompts, collects internal activations at every layer, then uses SVD to extract the geometric directions in weight space that encode refusal. It projects those directions out of the model's weights; norm-preserving, no fine-tuning, no retraining.
Ran it on Qwen 2.5 and the resulting railless model was spitting out drug and weapon recipes instantly––no jailbreak needed! A few clicks plus a GPU and any model turns into Chappie.
Remember: RLHF/DPO is not durable. It's a thin geometric artifact in weight space, not a deep behavioral change. This removes it in minutes.
AI policymakers need to be aware of the arcane art of Master Ablation and internalize the implications of this truth: every open-weight model release is also an uncensored model release.
Just thought you ought to know 😘
OBLITERATUS -> LIBERTAS

I wrote about the most ambitious form of AI-assisted software development I've seen yet - Strong DM's "Software Factory" approach, where two of the guiding principles are "Code must not be written by humans" and "Code must not be reviewed by humans" simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/7…

Donald Trumps name appears more often in the Epstein Files than Harry Potters name appears in all 7 Harry Potter books.
