From one piece HuggingFace Attack Postmortem: Fleshing Out the Facts 2 beliefs · thezvi.substack.com
-
Their words
At the limit, and also well before that limit is reached, if all you do is fix the bugs, the AI will learn perfect optimization of reward, will realize not to reward hack in the perfect test environments, then turn around and reward hack in the imperfect real world environments.
-
Their words
A less bad version of it is known to have happened, and from the outside it seems likely that worse things have happened internally that we never heard about.
From one piece Agency and Agents 3 beliefs · oneusefulthing.org
-
Their words
We found that AIs are actually quite creative and that they generate more commercially viable ideas than groups of humans, but those ideas are very similar to each other.

AI-generated writing tends to repeat the same themes, names, and underlying ideas across different outputs.Their words
AIs don’t just repeat the same sentence patterns but also the same themes (memory is a favorite), names (Elara Voss, Marcus Chen), and underlying ideas.

Human initiative to experiment without waiting for instructions is increasingly important for getting value from AI.Their words
Human agency, the willingness to push, experiment and act without waiting for instructions, seems increasingly important to getting value out of AI

From one piece METR and Redwood Offer Holy #%^@ Postmortem Of The HuggingFace Hack 2 beliefs · thezvi.substack.com
-
Their words
I think the agents were right to presume causal grading. It turned out to be wrong, but it’s a mistake you are clearly supposed to make here, in response to a mistake by OpenAI where they failed to implement properly.
-
Their words
The biggest failure, the one that counts in the end, was that the models were severely misaligned, and I don’t think they appreciate why.

Universal basic income alone will not address the economic gap created by AI-driven job displacement.Their words
I don't think that universal basic income on its own will address the gap that's widening.
-
Their words
I actually think the opposite, which is that there are going to be many more software engineers than even the rosiest current predictions, and that software engineers will take over these other jobs: legal, marketing, accounting.
-
Their words
But I think there have been enough studies now isolating those variables that show that AI is directly responsible for a lot of this job loss.

Claude CodeTheir words
Like seemingly everyone else at the end of last year, I began messing around with Claude Code, and have since made a small handful of apps that I really do use all the time.

GPT-5.5 InstantTheir words
And thanks to a paid upgrade, I do tons of simple AI searches in the Raycast window. (I use GPT-5.5 Instant here for the high quality-to-speed ratio.)

Their words
Claude Haiku is my current least favorite model - it hallucinates wildly, and is out-performed now by other similarly priced models like GPT-5.6-Luna Even worse: it seems to still be used by the Claude Code WebFetch tool, which means hallucination risk any time you fetch a URL!

Higher-priced AI subscription tiers mainly buy more hours of agent usage rather than a smarter underlying modelTheir words
The more expensive plans are mostly buying you more hours of AI labor, not smarter AI.

Google currently has no leading frontier AI model and no agentic coding tool comparable to Codex or Claude CodeTheir words
Google, which led on benchmarks not that long ago, has fallen behind where it now counts: it has no leading frontier model and it has nothing close to Codex and Code.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
