Researchers Just Stole Claude's Hidden Thoughts

from Stacked Podcast

Researchers just pulled the hidden reasoning straight out of Claude, GPT and Gemini by feeding it to weaker models, and it turns out the frontier labs' anti-distillation defense was readable all along. Nick and Jack break down what the decoded chain of thought actually looks like (it barely resembles human language), why the labs hide it in the first place, and whether you have a right to see how a model thinks before you trust its output. Also in this episode: Grokbot officially launches with its own cloud computer and signs into your apps without an API key, why X gives Elon unfair distribution for it, and Nvidia lining up $500 billion from six private capital firms to finance the customers buying its chips. Is compute the new collateral, or is this the graphic people point at after the great collapse of 27?
