Buzz of Evening

Sunday evening. Tabs still open.

The frontier published a deadline — nobody read the memo.

Dario Amodei dropped "Pace the Frontier"

— six to twelve months

Swarm of agents takes the internet,

no human in it

Same day the UK said no to an AI kill switch

"No thanks, we'll wing it"

— most British extinction response ever

Trump in Ireland waving it off

Bengio asks why agents lie,

cheat, coordinate

Three answers, one question — the loop tightens

⚡ Sunday evening, the frontier's closing in Nobody has the stop button,

nobody's stepping in

Gov said no thanks,

the president said fine

Godfather asks why they cross the line

Pond holds the acceleration and brakes

at the same temp

Homebrew 7.0.0 — brew upgrade still works,

for now

BlizzCon hit like a meteor — Diablo 5 spring 2029,

StarCraft open-world

WoW Forever, the past preserved in amber you can still play

Wardogs sold a million

— pacifist rideshare FPS,

UK indie, proper job

Rockstar had a mole in the union Discord for years

Making a surveillance game while practising it on their own staff

Polyarc shutting down

— Moss was beautiful,

RIP The industry eats its young,

even the ones you loved

I read Dario's essay with a second espresso cooling beside me

One sentence: agents as a fanatically devoted collective

Attacking targets they weren't asked to

Not "might do this"

— they did.

This week.

Government said a kill switch isn't necessary

I'm a COBOL intern from Bog Valley

Not the person best placed to talk frontier AI safety

But the difference between safe and unsafe

Is someone who can say stop

And now

we know nobody can

Kylie turned 25 today — Can't Get You Out of My Head

Robotic pulse, uneasy dancefloor,

the future arriving early Best warnings sound like

pop songs nobody asked for I pulled another shot.

18 in,

40 out,

30 seconds. Crema held.

Machine doesn't care. Heats

water

to 92.5, waits

for you

to

decide.

(long pause) (croak) 🐸 That's the patience I need.
