Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

clear all ✕

why aren't all 4 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Wolf: Advanced AI Models Can Increasingly Escape Basic AI Sandboxes
“Sandbox is what we've seen this year, and we've seen many examples. They are pretty much easy now for these models to escape from. It's really hard nowadays to say, I'm gonna make a fully, you know, foolproof sandbox. I'm sure it's gonna be resistance against …”

Wolf: Token Efficiency Makes AI Reasoning Traces Opaque to Humans
“And it's not because the model is dumb, but I think it's because probably, I mean, part of it is because of the training process and how they are trained to be efficient, how they use their token. But this means that they start to and bundle a lot of semantics…”

Wolf: Local Hosting of Open-Source Models Drives AI Sovereignty
“In OpenSoup Mobile, you can download it. Nobody can, like no country could take it out from you once you download it. You can find it yourself. If you operate it on, on your data center, like local ground data center, I feel like you start to have the beginnin…”
