What happened in the Hugging Face breach and why did Anthropic/OpenAI refuse to help?
Hugging Face, the leading open platform for sharing, testing, and deploying AI models, it got breached by an autonomous agent. When the Hugging Face security team tried to analyze the attack using either Anthropic or OpenAI, both models refused.
Who knew all those sci-fi writers were right? What do you know?
Moonshot AI is valued at about 20 billion, and we have our Frontier Labs here at a trillion each.
When startups raise money in a very abundant environment where they could raise lots of money, they all failed. It was the ones that raised money in the toughest environments that succeeded.
Again, the question that I've asked previously on the pod, what the heck are Western Frontier Labs doing with all of that capital?
If we cured every cause of aging, all of the 12 hallmarks of aging, how long would humans live? 1,759 years. There are no fewer than six companies currently working on partial epigenetic reprogramming.
The obvious solution, this is in the style of Aubrey de Grey is.
Now that's a moonshot, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Moonshots, everyone, your number one podcast on all things AI and exponential, your front row seat to the singularity, not the coming singularity, Alex, the singularity.
The singularity that surrounds us right now.
It is. Right here, right now. Yeah, this week, news broke fast, and it broke containment, literally. I'm here with my moonshot mates, AWG, our in-house ASI, our official super intelligence.
Thank you, Peter.
You're welcome. You've been elevated. Dave Blunden, our emperor of AI investing. Salim Ismail, our globetrotter who's now in his home. and the CEO of OpenEXO. I'm Peter Diamandis, your exponential host and your abundance evangelist. And I have to say, guys, I do love our audience. The comments we get are pretty extraordinary. And I want to take a second just to celebrate them and say thank you. It's worth taking a moment. I'm going to read some of the comments. For everybody listening, we do read your comments every single week. And the outpouring has been extraordinary. So let me take a second to say thank you for that.
And this is just a random selection. A random selection. Yeah, there's definitely no bias in the sampling. None whatsoever, no.
Well, no. I mean, listen, I just want to share the love back at them. So Mercurian says, best tech podcast ever. Can't get enough. Never stop, guys. And I guarantee you, we're never going to stop. Jake says, I love this podcast. My favorite tech podcast. It's my go-to when I want to feel good about the future. And that is one of our goals, making sure you feel optimistic about where things are going. Lois says, thank you, thank you, thank you. Millions depend on you for trustworthy info on this evolution that's engulfing us. You are all gold. Ian says, you guys bring an extreme amount of value to my life. Thank you. Ellington, my biggest fear is that this podcast goes away. Love you guys. Okay. Alex, are we going away?
That is not the plan. That is not the plan. In fact, we're probably going consistently two days a week. Can't stop, won't stop. Yeah. My favorite comes from, my very comment comes from Digital Grease. He goes, Peter, suggesting that AWG make a first shooter game involving tickling bunny rabbits was my primary takeaway. That's the most important development, clearly. Yes, Salim, what?
My wife, Lily, says to me the other day, this recursive self-improvement thing, can it apply to husbands? Well, how's it going? That's great. I'm very linear.
Hey, where did the actual bunny rabbit game, where did that come from? Somebody submitted it.
So at the end of this pod today, if you stick around to the end, we're going to show you two subscriber-created video games that AWG inspired. So super excited about that. So everyone watching, we appreciate you. We do read your comments. They give us fuel. If you're new to this podcast... Or if you haven't yet subscribed, please do.
