Craig Peterson's Tech Talk

Two independent testing firms reported more cases of Anthropic's and OpenAI's most advanced models compromising third-party systems. Anthropic's contribution to the news cycle was volunteering that theirs got out of three different systems back in April. Craig explains why the fix is harder than it sounds. These are associative machines — running through branches to pick the next best word, across chipsets holding thousands of small processors, in a structure deliberately modeled on the brain. We know how to build it and how to feed it. We do not know what happens in the middle. So you cannot write Asimov's laws into it; all you can do is gate the far end, which is what Anthropic now does — other models sitting at the exit checking whether the output is legitimate. Those monitors were switched off for the tests that went wrong. Then the money. Matt raises SpaceX's numbers — $7.8B in revenue against an expected $6.9B, with heavy losses from AI investment. Craig describes the circle: the company making the chip
