✨What if the most radical thing AI can do for us is not DO the things for us, faster and ever efficient, but rather push us to choose what is most meaningful and then make the space for us to do it ourselves? ted.com/talks/avni_patel_tho…

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

As currently designed, the leading chatbots will tell you to avoid interpersonal friction, discomfort, or vulnerability, even though these dynamics are what ultimately make relationships meaningful and enduring, note @SlaughterAM and @APatelThompson. bit.ly/3Scnyp2

Completely agree. The way you turn AI into a compounding asset is by codifying your best ways of working and then democratizing it across your company in a way that wasn't possible before. One of the more common requests we get from companies earlier in their AI journey now is to stand up their internal skill library & fill that library with skills that we build through interviews/sessions with top performers.

One of the most important things to understand about the moment we are living in

'Men will be men' with a wonderful twist! For the Swiss retailer Migros, agency Thjnk Zürich takes a refreshingly unconventional approach to showcasing fresh produce. The most predictable route would have been to feature two mothers competing to pack the most imaginative, healthy lunchbox for their kids. But that trope is tired, and wouldn't have made a dent at all. In fact, if it were two mothers, the narrative would probably lean into them exchanging recipes and happily shopping at Migros together. Instead, by putting two dads in the arena, the ad unlocks a hilarious, hyper-competitive dynamic. What starts as a simple lunchbox comparison quickly spirals into an absurd arms race of food art with cucumber crocodiles and carrot race cars to an all-out gourmet standoff at a neighborhood barbecue. It’s the petty, silent game of oneupmanship between the dads that makes the ad memorable, all while seamlessly driving home the brand's message: they have the widest range of fresh produce to fuel any culinary ambition. #advertising #marketing #creativity

LEGO just dropped its largest set ever: La Sagrada Familia. It has 12,060 pieces and costs $800. The set comes 100 years after Antoni Gaudi’s death (June 10, 1926). The details are insane including spires, carvings and interior with light shining through stain-glass windows.

been asking others at Anthropic how they stay in the loop with Claude and fully understand the work being done this is one of my favorites from Suzanne:

Vintage French Open posters were an art form

it’s crazy that i was so used to popes being like 372-year-old tiny italian men who just wear the little hat and bless things. now the pope likes baseball and gives out advice like uncle jessie it’s so sick

Connecting young people to digital networks serves no purpose if they remain disconnected from themselves, others, and their own interiority. We must help young people rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence. To listen to the soul, we must lend an ear, because the soul's voice is not a shout, but a whisper.

Thought experiment: if every company suddenly had infinite free compute, what new products would emerge? My take: with very few exceptions, not much would change. The bottleneck is figuring out what people want, and it’s not so easy to apply compute to solve that.

this is insane. had no idea. substack.com/@exponentialvie…

Hey lazy people: the Vatican made infographics for you

This is one of several reasons you shouldn't drop out of (or skip) college to start a startup at 18. Founders who do that tend to match the second paragraph rather than the first, because they haven't had time to have the "earned insight" he describes.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI. So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents. “Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues. “Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with. The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

Founders overestimate how hard it is to become a top 100 expert on most subjects. For most things you need to solve, there’s usually a very clear path: just go do the work, obsessively, and become friends with everyone else doing it.

Don't let anyone talk you out of buying that 1 book at the bookstore. Those 3 books could be the most life-changing 10 books you've ever gotten.

There is nothing more powerful than well-informed optimism. It has to be well-informed though. The "everything will be fine" type of optimism may also be somewhat useful, but it's not as useful as the "Hmm, what if we tried x?" kind.
