Simplifying Alignment by Expanding Scope
This post is crossposted from my Substack, Structure and Guarantees, where I explore how formal verification and related ideas might scale to more complex intelligent systems. This installment begins a sequence on lessons for alignment from the practice of formal verification. Counterintuitively, adding additional layers to a formally verified system can actually simplify the problem of specifying what safe behavior means.
Top ethical hacker Chompie warns AI tools could put her out of business
Chompie, one of the world's tops ethical hackers, says AI like Claude Mythos will make it harder for people like her to compete.
Did the Pope use AI to write about the dangers of AI?
It's possible that AI was used to write parts of Pope Leo XIV's latest encyclical about AI's impact on humanity. An analysis by Linch Zhang posted on the forum LessWrong found certain paragraphs of Magnifica Humanitas to be between 40 percent and 100 percent written by AI, according to the popular AI detector Pangram.
You Can't Tell a Conscience From a Leash by Watching
In a recent article titled "Widening the conversation on frontier AI", Anthropic mentions, almost in passing, that they gave Claude a tool that would allow the model to call mid-task for "a brief reminder of its own ethical commitments." They found that when this tool was incorporated into Claude's reasoning, the model showed markedly lower rates of misaligned behavior on several internal alignment evaluations.
Should we train LLMs to be human?
A recent piece of research on human behavioral alignment shows that post-training leads to LLMs becoming less human-like in their responses (Binz et al., 2026). The obvious follow up question is whether this drift is intended, and whether it is optimal. From the broader perspective of goal-alignment this tendency could lower the ability of LLM models to model human behavior, and by proxy understand our needs and wants.
Are Mythos' Cyber Capabilities Overstated? - Yes and No
TL;DR: Anthropic restricted access to Claude Mythos Preview, citing a major leap in vulnerability discovery and exploitation capability. I review the 3 most common arguments from skeptics: (1) AISLE Security’s paper showing cheaper models can identify the same bugs as Mythos, (2) benchmark comparisons showing GPT-5.5 performs comparably, and (3) Mythos finding only one low-severity bug in the cURL project.
Steering Directions Are Explanations, Not Handles
A direction can be interpretable, causal, and predictive (and still a bad handle for intervention) TLDR: In modern interpretability, we find “directions” inside a language model that seem to encode meaningful concepts. One such example is “This is about food.” A common next step is to steer the model in that direction, in the hopes it produces more of that concept.
Contra Wentworth on Physical Attractiveness for Men
This is a response to John Wentworth’s recent article, Why Physical Attractiveness Matters for Men’s Dating Prospects. I have no quibble with the thesis stated in the title, but a lot of the body of the article struck me as off-base. When John sent me the article, I told him the article seemed “fundamentally confused.” He asked for details, and this article is my answer.
Pope Leo Schooled the Tech Bros on Tolkien
The Holy Father referenced The Lord of the Rings in his encyclical about AI—an expert (if unintentional) troll of tech billionaires who keep misinterpreting the series.

How Cannes Is Grappling With Changes
Reporting from the Cannes Film Festival, our film critic Alissa Wilkinson describes how the event is both fending off and embracing aspects of artificial intelligence.
Finding the Mole: Bayesianism is Hard
I first encountered LessWrong a couple months ago, and since then I've been a regular reader of posts here, including parts of the Sequences. Bayesianism is a major topic in them, and I wanted to try it myself. An ideal candidate was the Flemish TV show 'The Mole' (Dutch: 'De Mol').

Stability AI Releases Stable Audio 3: A Family of Fast Latent Diffusion Models for Audio Generation and Editing
Stability AI has released Stable Audio 3, a family of latent diffusion models for instrumental music and sound effects generation. The release includes open weights for the small and medium variants. Small runs on a MacBook Pro M4 CPU. Medium fits on consumer GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM. Both generate stereo audio at 44.1 kHz using a three-stage training pipeline: flow matching, distillation warmup, and adversarial post-training.
Training Language Models for Controlled Stochasticity
Pseudo-random generation solved the problem of sampling from mathematical distributions on computers. Faced with a similar need in natural language, it feels natural to simply ask an LLM: "Name a random city" but this leads to the disappointing discovery that language models are heavily biased and suffer from mode collapse. For instance, when Qwen3 is asked to pick a random weekday, it chooses Wednesday about 80% of the time. Gemma-3, when naming cities, gives 75% of its answers as just four cities.

What Happened When Hetzner Banned Solana Validators: 1,000 Nodes Taken Offline Overnight
In November 2022, Hetzner banned Solana validators, taking 1,000+ nodes offline and paralyzing ~22% of staked SOL overnight. The incident exposed a critical flaw: blockchains can be protocol-decentralized but physically concentrated. Three years later, the same economic pressures persist — and the Solana Foundation only enacted ASN diversity rules in May 2026.
NVIDIA Vera CPU Is ‘Packing a Heavy-Hitting Punch’ Against Competition

People Think Everything Good Is AI Now
The internet got so used to low-effort content that competence started looking suspicious. In 1999, the fear was that computers would get too good at pretending to be us. Now, someone writes a decent paragraph online, and half the replies treat it like evidence of a machine.
The “AI-Powered” Era Is Over: Why Positioning Will Decide the Winners in AI
AI-powered” is no longer a differentiator. As AI becomes commoditized, the winners will be startups that move beyond features and focus on clear positioning, strong category narratives, and customer-centric messaging. Growth in the AI era is driven less by technology claims and more by how clearly a company defines who it is for, what problem it solves, and why it matters.

Drama note from the May 26 feed: some senpai todos from reading pi's AGENTS.md from their nanogpt-speedrun submissions - encourage (enforce?) pruning - be much more explicit about when to use subagents - augment researcher-agent prompt on how to read a paper well - (maybe) turn the researcher-agent into a This is included because it shows tension, backlash, mismatch, or a surprising market narrative.

Practical takeaway from the May 26 feed: Easiest way to try it: don't install anything yourself. Open whatever agent you run (Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Cursor) and paste: "Clone and run the 60-second demo." 60 seconds later your agent is loaded with a 365-token seed. The operator angle is to turn the signal into a repeatable workflow, checklist, or experiment.

How I Built an iPhone Theft Detection System Using Motion Sensors and Screen Time APIs
Android shipped Theft Detection Lock in 2024. Apple still has nothing. I built a free iOS app that detects phone grabs via accelerometer and locks selected apps using Screen Time shields. The technical rabbit holes: CMMotionActivityManager turned out useless (reports "Unknown" instead of "Running"), background execution requires a location manager hack to keep the process alive, Screen Time API has two token types you need to apply simultaneously, and Face ID can't be called from shield extensions.

RTMH: Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas on AI
His holiness has spoken, frequently about AI. At eighty two pages of length. The full Magnifica Humanitas can be found here. I am very happy that Pope Leo takes these issues seriously, and is sharing his views, and bringing a form of moral clarity, even with all the flaws and central errors. More people with voice should share their views in this way, even when I disagree. It’s a weird document. Much of it is not about AI at all. I do agree with the Pope’s most basic point on AI, which is that AI can be what we make of it.
