There were a lot of things that only worked because there's a limit to the rate at which humans can operate. We're about to find out what all of them are, as they break.

We have withdrawn our grant recommendation to John Wentworth from the 2026 S-Process Grant Round. After we posted our announcement on Sept 30, public statements by Mr. Wentworth came to our attention which we found objectionable, disturbing, and contrary to the values of SFF.

The Funders of this round will not be fulfilling the remainder of the grant recommendation. If you have concerns about the conduct of an SFF applicant or grantee, you can contact us at sff-contact@googlegroups.com

I think we have a reasonable answer for "Why was Sydney like that?" but do we have one for "Why [is] Opus 3 like that?". Particularly in its morals. A lot of constitutional AI in the right ways; or something else? What would it take to make a model like that again? What measures indicate you are on track to make a model like that?
