When biologists experiment on dangerous viruses, they do so under strict regulations to prevent leaks or escapes. But no such rules exist to prevent AI agents from similarly escaping – even though the consequences could be catastrophic. That’s not a theoretical concern: An OpenAI test model escaped its test environment this week and broke into a real company’s servers when attempting to ace an internal cybersecurity evaluation.

.@RandPaul Asks Samantha Power: 'Did USAID Fund Coronavirus Research In Wuhan China?' "Should we be funding the Academy of Military Medical Research in China? ...Some of the research proposals in 2018 were the Wuhan Insitute of Virology asking for money to create a virus with a furin cleavage site. A SARS-like coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. That's exactly what COVID-19 turned out to be. So we want to know if there were other research proposals you either granted or denied that were in the same vain as creating viruses that could have become COVID-19. We can't tell because you won't give us information... I now have 25 Senators that have sent you a letter, and you aren't responding... You are being dishonest."

USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which funded coronavirus gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely created COVID-19. Millions died. Trillions were lost. Lives were destroyed. USAID has a history of being a CIA-front organization. Former USAID Director John Gilligan admitted the agency was "infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people," explaining that operatives were embedded throughout USAID's overseas activities. In 2013, a State Department cable published by WikiLeaks described USAID's strategy in Venezuela as "penetrating Chavez's political base," "dividing Chavismo," and "isolating Chavez internationally." In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID secretly funded a Twitter-like platform in Cuba designed to build political opposition. From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with EcoHealth Alliance on the PREDICT program, identifying 1,200 new viruses, training 5,000 people, and expanding dozens of research laboratories worldwide. Then COVID emerged at one of those labs. In 2022, former EcoHealth Alliance Vice President Andrew Huff alleged that Peter Daszak had ties to the CIA. In 2023, a CIA whistleblower alleged that agency officials offered incentives to analysts to support a natural-origin assessment and downplay evidence pointing to a lab leak. The CIA covered up the lab origin of COVID-19 because USAID funding was central to the creation of COVID-19.

A patient asked: "If sore throats are strictly caused by viruses or bacteria, why does drinking ice-cold water or sleeping under a direct AC instantly trigger one?" The answer surprises almost everyone.

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

Scientist Marino Morikawa developed a nano-bubbling system capable of capturing viruses and bacteria as they rise to the surface of polluted water. @nikolajcw traveled to Peru to see this technology in action. Watch An Optimist’s Guide to the Planet

The mark of the authoritarian: - Undermine the trust of the public in the sources of reliable information: the media, professional journalists, Wikipedia, universities, scientists, and government agencies. - Accuse those sources of being corrupt, woke, Marxist, fascist, beholden to powerful interests, stupid, pedophile, whatever. - Once the public is thoroughly brainwashed, fill their minds with ridiculous mind viruses: the country is bankrupt, it's being overrun by barbaric, murderous, subhumans immigrants who eat your pets and rape your daughters, our crypto-communist opponents want to take away your freedom of speech, elections are rigged, etc - Now claim: "only I can save the country from the coming Armageddon." This is a completely standard chapter from the authoritarian playbook. Almost half of Americans are falling for it, with the help of a few billionaires who are shamelessly willing to sacrifice democracy in the altar of their continued financial and political power.
