Simon Willison's Weblog5d agoCommentarySQLite added an AGENTS.md file aimed at people pointing coding agents at its codebase, not at its own internal development. The file says SQLite does not accept agentic code, though it will accept agentic bug reports with reproducible test cases. The project has also split AI-generated bug reports into a new SQLite Bug Forum, where D. Richard Hipp is responding with commits.
AI tried to bury this politician — now people have actually heard of him★ 72
The Verge AI6d agoRegulationThe Verge frames New York’s 12th District Democratic primary as a proxy fight over AI regulation. OpenAI-linked backers and an Anthropic-backed PAC are spending on opposite sides of Alex Bores’ congressional run. The irony is that attacks meant to weaken Bores may have made him more visible, turning a local race into a national signal about AI political power.
US law enforcement warns of “anti-tech extremism” as AI hatred grows
Ars Technica AI6d agoRegulationDocuments obtained by WIRED show US intelligence and law enforcement agencies circulating reports on a new category described as anti-technology violent extremism. The concern comes amid protests over data centers, fear of AI-driven job loss, and threats involving tech infrastructure or executives. Civil liberties experts warn the category may be broad enough to chill lawful protest and criticism.
GDS weighs in on the NHS's decision to retreat from Open Source
Simon Willison's Weblog16d agoCommentary英國國民保健署（NHS）因「Project Glasswing」回報的 AI 安全漏洞，決定關閉其開源程式庫。對此，英國政府數位服務局（GDS）罕見公開介入，發布指引強調公共部門應「預設保持開源」，指出將程式碼私有化會增加成本並減少外部監督。專家指出，這代表英國政府內部對於開源與安全政策產生了嚴重的公開分歧。
The distillation panic★ 75
Interconnects (Nathan L.)29d agoOpinion近期 AI 業界出現將「知識蒸餾（Distillation）」稱為「蒸餾攻擊（Distillation attacks）」的趨勢。 這反映了閉源模型廠商（如 OpenAI、Anthropic）面對開源模型透過合成數據快速追趕時的焦慮。 作者 Nathan Lambert 指出，將這種行之有年的機器學習技術與商業競爭行為「安全化（securitize）」，試圖將其塑造成惡意網路攻擊，是非常糟糕且誤導的術語，旨在為法律訴訟或技術封鎖鋪路。
How much does distillation really matter for Chinese LLMs?★ 75
Interconnects (Nathan L.)98d agoCommentary本文探討知識蒸餾（Distillation）在中國大語言模型（如 DeepSeek、Qwen）發展中扮演的角色。針對 Anthropic 近期將蒸餾視為「安全攻擊」的報告，作者指出，雖然蒸餾確實加速了模型對齊，但中國 LLM 的成功更多歸功於其強大的預訓練底座與強化學習（RL）創新。將蒸餾單純簡化為「抄襲」或「攻擊」，忽略了其作為標準機器學習技術的本質，也低估了中國團隊的工程實力。
