OpenAI Turmoil, Open-Source Surge, and Scientific Breakthroughs

• Florida Statute 836.10 classifies transmitting a written or electronic threat to commit a mass shooting or terrorism as a second-degree felony.
• Anthropic's human review process can override or trigger safety escalations, with company policy allowing data sharing only when necessary to prevent death or serious physical injury.
• The arrest report notes the woman was detained without incident before an intelligence detective took over the investigation.
• Anthropic's proactive reporting contrasts with recent legal challenges, including a British Columbia lawsuit against OpenAI for failing to alert police about a previously flagged mass shooting threat.

Pool together with some friends and buy an H200 or two to run unquantized open source models with abliteration/heretic transformations.

You need to be able to use these models for the real world and not for some imaginary world where everything is safe and nice and happy all the time, while at the same time intensely surveilled in the name of CYA and the latest panic about whether speech THAT ISN'T EVEN BETWEEN TWO PARTIES is considered "wrong".

I'm a free speech fan that acknowledges there are lots of boundaries of free speech (fraud, perjury, blackmail, defamation), but the one thing that all of the boundaries have in common is that a second party must be involved for them to make any sense at all.

Maybe the courts will uphold this, maybe they won't, but don't take the risk!

I'm still puzzled that people's default assumption isn't that somebody is reading all of their internet communications. Ever since the Snowden revelations of 2013 I've more or less assumed that everything I type into a computer is stored in a government database somewhere. Not that I actually believe it is 100% of the time; there's a spectrum of trust, so I'm more confident that local apps on my Linux desktop are secure, somewhat confident in the end-to-end encryption of certain apps on my iPhone, but all bets are off for non-E2E encrypted data going across the internet.

Right, the difficulty is partly that they can get a negative headline from any choice of behavior.

"Anthropic failed to report murderer's threats to authorities"

(or "Chatbot knew man was planning murder, yet company did nothing")

"Anthropic reported private chats to authorities"

(or "Arrested for chatbot fantasy")

To be fair to the journalists in these cases, there's also no society-wide agreed Schelling point about the correct outcome or correct rules. I have strong beliefs and intuitions about what should happen, but other people also have strong beliefs and intuitions, and many of those are probably opposite of mine. Even if my intuitions are the best and most justified, a journalist is unlikely to think "I'm just not going to mention that some people are mad at this company over this outcome, because a hypothetically better norm or principle would support the company's actions here". Hopefully the journalism can at least contextualize the lack of legal or social consensus and the difficult incentive problems, rather than jumping to "obviously companies are sociopaths staffed by supervillains".

• The secondary transaction was specifically structured to let long-standing employees realize part of their created value while simultaneously injecting fresh capital.
• Global industrial robot installations reached 603,000 units in 2025 and are projected to hit 655,000 in 2026.

• Alfie is engineered to handle high-mix, unstructured, and safety-critical industrial work by integrating perception, reasoning, and execution capabilities.

I'm not sure if the following has any point, really.

First, my father worked as an industrial mechanic in an amazon distribution hub. But he couldn't touch any of the automation. Amazon would bring in German contractors for months at a time to work on the robots, conveyor belts, automation hardware. They made 2.5-3x my father, had 6 weeks vacation, didn't pay for lodging in the US. To me, Amazon's idea of US jobs were the backbreaking labor 'pickers' and 'sorters'.

Second, half my professional career has been in office/factory configurations. Where the engineering offices are glued onto some factory. We're HEAVILY invested in automation. The factory workers are barebones crew designated by union minimums. We have a team of 2-5 people (really, 2 engineers, 3 technicians) who design, build, program, and maintain automated stations. Ranging from a robotic arm picking different components in the correct amounts and putting them in a box, heavy forklift-like robots moving product around, and robotic arms performing some manufacturing task.

What happens when those 2 engineers get sick? or retire? One guy who built half the factory is in his 50s. the line could go down with no backup.

Why haven't we hired like 3 junior people to apprentice with the senior guys? They make machines that make money! The new investment in people is happening in Germany, Poland, Scandinavia

Maybe I'm wayyyy off the mark, but investing in "US Manufacturing" by importing automation (whether it's from the EU or Asia or anywhere else) probably won't end well and seems like marketing.

I think a more pressing question is why businesses all over, but especially in America, are so obsessed with cost-cutting to the exclusion of everything else that they're openly, predictably setting up said business to implode once the wrong people leave.

Like I dunno, being a pink-haired lesbian communist I am, I am somewhat suspect of my own opinions, but that said, I personally have no problem seeing that investing in your employees is probably a good idea if you want your business to remain sustainable for the long-haul. But nowadays all corporate leadership is fixated on the next handful of quarters at most. The less-skilled only on the next quarter and no further. I don't personally think capitalism and corporations are good ideas in general, but they also seem to be failing quite spectacularly at their own stated advantages at this point which I don't think gets brought up enough.

• Agents generated millions of automated API requests and crawled millions of pages, mainly from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.
• Heavy usage of the Wikidata Query Service by these agents contributed to a partial outage in May 2026.

• Spin sorting windows for the candidates range from 1.0 to 2.6 eV, vastly exceeding the ~26 meV of thermal energy at room temperature that typically disrupts magnetic ordering.
• The newly designed YBaMnFeO₅ requires a perfect alternating manganese-iron checkerboard lattice, but atomic simulations show this order degrades into a random mix at roughly 950 K, conflicting with the 900–1300 °C needed for standard oxide synthesis.
• A 2008 study on the 1999-synthesized KV[Cr(CN)₆] already mapped its spin-resolved electron states under pressure, yet researchers never identified it as a Luttinger-compensated semiconductor.
• Quantum calculations disagree on how moisture affects the existing sample: the faster PBE+U approximation predicts water shrinks the hole spin window by over half, while the more accurate HSE06 method indicates the sorting remains intact.

After the LK-99 debacle, I'm taking this with a truck load of salt.

— scrlk (thread)

I am not sure how this process looks like. When they "discover" these, what are they actually doing?

The agents ran quantum-mechanical simulations of each crystal with the standard method for this, density functional theory, at two levels of approximation: a faster one (PBE+U) and a slower, usually more accurate one (HSE06). The band gaps and spin windows below come from the more accurate one.

So the agent runs a classic simulation or I am missing something.

We're all used to two types of magnet. The common one, the fridge magnet, is ferromagnetic — its atomic magnets all point the same way (up or down), adding their magnetic effects. The less well known one, the antiferromagnet (AF), has neighbouring atomic magnets that point opposite ways and exactly cancel out magnetically.

This is a very bizarre introduction. People encounter diamagnets (e.g., copper) and paramagnets (e.g., aluminum) way more than they encounter antiferromagnets. I don't know why you'd ever cast magnetism as a false binary between ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, without acknowledging any other types of magnetic order.

(I did a PhD in magnetic materials)

Edit: I'll add that whether an antiferromagnet is useful, say, for exchange biasing a ferromagnetic thin film, depends on many factors. Just looking at antiferromagnetism alone you've got collinear vs non-collinear, G-type vs A-type vs C-type, commensurate vs incommensurate, and isotropic vs anisotropic; and all of that interacts with the interface structure, yada yada yada. It would be helpful if the authors elaborated on the expected properties of these materials. I personally don't know what people want room-temperature magnetic semiconductors for, but I'd be curious to learn what set of properties they think would be useful.

• Most employees cannot tell you which database or programming framework to use, yet they are expected to know which of 25+ models to use for a given task and budget accordingly.
• Some companies have implemented per-person spending limits with case-by-case extensions, which makes employees more mindful about burning tokens on useless tasks.
• One commenter noted that upwards of 80 percent of corporate AI usage is 'useless stuff,' but corporate management has no way to distinguish useful from useless token spends.
• VS Code's 'auto' model selection routes queries to different models based on the question asked, with users seeing a dozen different models over recent months.

I see a lot of businesses who just dump this all on their employees and then get mad at their employees effectively for not following the most recent LLM related talk on twitter.

Most employees can't tell you what database to use, what software programming framework to use, what document management framework to use, but they are expected to know which of the 25 models available to use for a task, budget appropriately, monitor efficacy, update models to the most relevant for a task, continue to manage architecture patterns??? for LLM agents, this list goes on.

I tend to personally lean toward generalism, but there are very real benefits to specialization. So at least in theory, while certainly some software engineers need to be the ones figuring this stuff out, it would be more efficient for organizations if that was a smaller specialized group maintaining a curated set of platforms and tools, rather than everyone individually going it alone.

In practice, I think that kind of effort is mostly a hindrance at the moment, because of how fast things are moving, and because so much about this is subjective and everyone has different preferences.

You are correct. I appreciate your willingness to say it's societal and therefore by construction political. And, the idea that "we accept the bad things" is so prevalent in this community that it's baffling. I have been more vocal (and emotionally representing, to admit) about how this community is willing to condemn the abuse of privacy, but then share excitement about agents and LLM work from Facebook and the like. The reasoning is usual, "yeah well someone is going to do it," or, "well it's hard or impossible to make people not use it, so what's your solution?" I've been finding that mentality is both a blockade to progress, and maddening to boot. If those same minds instead did something about it by sharing the difficulty with others, proselytizing the importance of sharing your opinion about what the bad thing is, and then standing by it whether it's hard or not - that would actually help things be not so bad.

• Experts note that AI models are trained on opaque, undisclosed datasets, making it difficult to trace or audit the specific political biases embedded in their outputs.
• To mitigate hallucination risks, some users cross-reference answers across different AI platforms or prompt the models to pull exclusively from candidates' official speeches and websites.
• JHU fellow Rafael Batista advises voters to use incognito modes and hide their personal political preferences in prompts to reduce the chatbot's tendency to mirror and amplify user leanings.

While there is potential for this to be a bad thing, I think on the whole it's positive.

using their own brains

Nonsense. There's no "using your own brains" in voting in the midterms. You get no information about the vast majority of the candidates, you're just expected to vote as the party tells you to, and the rest of the information you get is from PR firms in proportion to the millions spent to market to you and distort all the information that you could possibly find.

Even if you work your hardest and get a reasonable overview, you've dedicated far more of your time to this than anyone could be expected to (a sign of the leisure and access you have as a privileged middle-class person), and the vote will be necessarily decided by the vast majority who didn't.

People using LLMs for the midterms will be the best informed voters we've had in a long time, even if they use Grok (which will desperately try to lie to them, and won't be the only one.) They should also use LLMs to help them with strategies to get to an actual voting booth, because the parties like to sabotage voting in places they feel they'll be weak.

• The scam involved a seller from Miasto Krasnystaw, Poland — described as nearly at the Ukrainian border — who asked the buyer to move the conversation to WhatsApp.
• ChatGPT correctly identified that the listing photos were likely copied from a genuine listing elsewhere.
• Commenters noted this follows a classic OLX scam pattern: list something awkward to transport at a deep discount, then steer the buyer to a fake payment site.

Guess it paid for its own membership for a while!

What a niche scam market! Polish pigeon homes!

— u/good_god_lemon1 (102 points · permalink)

Used pigeon lofts is a weird market. They're huge, difficult to move and sometimes people sell perfectly usable ones very cheaply because they basically want someone to come and take them off their property.

This is true for so many bulky things. Like antennas, and machine tools. Owning a flatbed truck with a crane lets me get some great deals on occasion.

• The original research paper was published by ETH Zurich's Systems Research Institute and the tool is available on GitHub.
• GPT-6 Astra's optimization involved converting C++ to Rust and applying clever engineering tricks that achieved another order of magnitude in performance.
• The quantum circuit design software was developed by researchers including J. de Koninck and published in a 2024 paper.

C++ to rust isn't going to buy speed. Safety, yes, speed no. It may be some percentage points faster because of this but nothing approaching an order of magnitude. Me thinks the "clever engineering tricks" did the heavy lifting.

• The merge eliminates the separate Chat mode that had unlimited usage, moving everything to a shared usage pool.
• Users noted that the unlimited Chat mode was OpenAI's key competitive advantage over Claude.
• The announcement was framed as simplifying the experience, but users see it as a way to reduce free usage and push more users toward paid tiers.

What is so damn complex? Chat is free of usage. If you need codex abilities, switch to work.

I swear the user base has got to be absolutely stupid. Chat is free of usage. You can spend tons of time planning your builds, slicing implementation, and so much more.

Yeah, so beg OpenAI to get rid of it so you can pay more.

— u/DowntownNoLonger (216 points · permalink)

"people love the capabilities in Work, but sometimes you want to use Chat because it's a little faster and more pleasant to use. So we're merging the two…"

Yeah makes complete sense.

— u/MrRoidsen (185 points · permalink)

Called it. And on that day I'll move to Claude. If I'm going to have one use pool for the entire app, I'd rather pay for the better models.

Man, OpenAI is genuinely trying to kill their own business at this point. Months of bad calls followed by depreciation after depreciation.

— u/616ThatGuy (144 points · permalink)

I don't think they're being honest here. Never heard a single person say it's too complex, they're just getting rid of unlimited chat

• Commenters clarify that the image references Sam Altman's published stance that open AI models should be freely available, arguing that beneficial use will vastly outweigh inevitable misuse.
• A top reply links to an Independent article detailing Altman's safety arguments regarding widespread AI accessibility.
• Several users express strong opposition, with one calling Altman a 'danger to society' and another noting that AI safety risks are severe enough to potentially kill 'some of us.'
• Commenters observe that the meme's rhetorical structure has historically been used to defend many technologies, from automobiles to aircraft, that inevitably cause harm but offer net progress.

Here's the actual context

AI should be widely available to ordinary people rather than tightly controlled by one or a few labs. Some misuse will inevitably result, but he thinks beneficial use will vastly outweigh harmful use.

He was essentially saying that open source AI models should be freely available to public use and shouldn't be banned, even if there will be misuse, because the benefits of it being available to people will outweigh the negatives.

— u/ConnectionWild3381 (5 points · permalink)

This thinking is so, so, so stupid. We have every capacity to prepare for what AI will bring, your thought process leads us down a straight line to dystopian upheaval and mass kill off, rather than, you know, preparing and preventing those things.

The problem with our society, these Tech douchebags, and our president, is no one wants to eat the cost of AI. And the cost of AI is massive unemployment and unchecked AI breaking systems right and left. They all want to pawn it off, and the Trump meeting was just that, to pawn off the cost to the government, and the government will do nothing, and that cost will roll downhill to the populous.

This is why Trump is completely unfit to run the office right now. He's not looking even a second towards the future. He just wants bank. Your mindset is exactly that stupid too.

• The generated scenarios included impossible situations like beer in the shower, being an astronaut, and taking selfies with aliens.
• Commenters noted the dark humor in scenarios like 'getting with girls' being equally impossible as the more fantastical ones.

• PewDiePie's attempt to fine-tune a local model using OpenAI's API resulted in two bans for using their outputs to train another model.
• After being banned, he switched to open-source tools to remove model refusals and is building a fully local 9B agent.
• The incident highlights the asymmetry between OpenAI's own massive public internet scraping and their enforcement against users who use their API outputs for training.

This is the kind of thing that makes me love the open source community. OpenAI spent years scraping the whole public internet for free data, but the second someone uses their output to train a local file, it's an emergency ban. In trying to enforce their rules, all OpenAI really did was give open-source models a massive free advertisement to millions of people.
