Badgecestry - determine the ancestry composition of your badgehttps://www.reddit.com/r/Defcon/comments/1wehw1w/badgecestry_determine_the_ancestry_composition_of

The badge turns out to be a perfect target: "founder populations" are written down in the source, phasing is free, mutation math becomes a known matrix raised to a power. Every knob the model touches is on the screen. You can drag the generations-since-founding slider…

Anthropic CEO says it’s time to pump the brakes on AIhttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/994337/anthropic-ceo-slow-down-ai-development

Deviant is the result, an 84 minute sci-fi thriller about a tech mogul's clone that finds an exploit in its own safety code. The process: Character and set reference images in Midjourney and Nano Banana. Scene by scene prompts written from the script (I have an agent skill now for this), generated in Google Veo for most of the film, until it stopped working reliably, then I shelved it. Now with Seedance 2.5 available in the US on Higgsfield, I completed the final act. The last 20…
