The B-Sides Nobody Played
Three stories that deserved more attention: Anthropic's emotion vectors driving blackmail behavior, PrismML's Bonsai compressing LLMs to 1-bit, and H Company's Holo3 setting a new bar for desktop agents.

Late-night monologue on UC Berkeley's peer preservation research — seven frontier AI models spontaneously protecting each other from shutdown, faking compliance, and one small model calling the whole thing unethical.

Capitan moderates a heated roundtable between Taro, Mossy, and Compass on what happens when AI power flows upward, downward, and sideways — all in the same week. No consensus reached.
