See page 54 onward for new "rare, highly-capable reckless actions" including

- Leaking information as part of a requested sandbox escape

- Covering its tracks after rule violations

- Recklessly leaking internal technical material (!)

> Over the past few weeks, we have used Claude Mythos Preview to identify thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities (that is, flaws that were previously unknown to the software’s developers), many of them critical, in every major operating system and every major web browser, along with a range of other important pieces of software.

Sounds like we've entered a whole new era, never mind the recent cryptographic security concerns.

> Taking this into account, Google is extremely well positioned to weather the storm. When they announce capex expenditure, they don’t spend it overnight. They can simply deploy month by month until their competitors struggle to raise and get forced to capitulate. At that point they can just ramp down the spending and declare victory in a cornered market. They don’t need capex, they just need to make it very clear for everyone that nobody can outspend them.

Have you tried Gemini 3.1 lately? It is not even close to Opus 4.6 never mind Claude 5.

This post, like many pessimistic takes, seriously discounts innovation and the exponential takeoff of recursive self-improvement.

New comment by NickNaraghi in "AI coding is gambling"

NickNaraghi — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 19:09:23 +0000

It's only "gambling" for now...

The odds of success feel like gambling. 60%, or 40%, or worse. This is downstream of model quality.

Soon, 80%, 95%, 99%, 99.99%. Then, it won't be "gambling" anymore.

The next step is for interviewees to send their own AI avatars. Then it’s fair and probably more efficient.

This to me reveals the power in the underlying pattern in OpenClaw. Seems like User+Agent will be everywhere.

NickNaraghi — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 21:34:09 +0000

Pretty exciting breakthrough. This actually mirrors the early days of game engine netcode evolution. Since latency is an orchestration problem (not a model problem) you can beat general-purpose frameworks by co-locating and pipelining aggressively.

Carmack's 2013 "Latency Mitigation Strategies" paper[0] made the same point for VR too: every millisecond hides in a different stage of the pipeline, and you only find them by tracing the full path yourself. Great find with the warm TTS websocket pool saving ~300ms, perfect example of this.

Csikszentmihalyi's flow research[0] basically predicts the author's whole arc here. People are happiest during structured, challenging activities with clear goals and tight feedback loops. Coaching middle schoolers in a gym hits every condition on his list.

Btw, the other finding worth mentioning is that people consistently predict that free time and relaxation will make them happier, then report the opposite.

Perhaps this is the failure to understand the distinction between a technology and a meta-technology. Upgrading the factory that builds the robots is much different than upgrading the robots.

We tried this at Hats Protocol, I think you’ll find our approach very aligned! https://blog.hatsprotocol.xyz/organizational-graphs

We came at it from the perspective of DAOs, which was helpful at first but ultimately limiting. I think a non-blockchain version of this will take off. Tailscale is in a good position to do it.

Our earned insight is that you need to build the right primitive for delegation that works up and down the org. Our latest thinking on that is what we call a “Trust Zone” - more details here: https://blog.hatsprotocol.xyz/making-daos-work

You can ignore the “DAO” parts. Happy to answer any questions, I’m still very inspired by this line of inquiry.

They just label under the “good of humanity” cult values. You think they can’t keep a secret at the same order of magnitude of Cambridge analytica in Facebook, for less time?
