Woah. That really sucks.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Seeing Dems vilifying success instead of celebrating American exceptionalism to pander to their increasingly left/socialist-leaning supporters is disappointing but on-brand now I guess.

Congratulations to the entire @SpaceX team. On a day like today people only see the success. Not the grit, determination, ingenuity, blood, sweat and tears over 24 years to get to this point. Every bit of this success today has been hard earned and deserved.

Openclaw: much more flexibility for complex projects requiring heavy customization and fine tuning.
Hermes: better in an unconstrained environment (access to LAN), or for people who aren’t paranoid enough.
I now use both for very different things and environments.

Sorkin has an unhealthy and profitable obsession with Mark and won’t let truth get in the way of satisfying that. The fact that this whole movie is based on Frances Haugen’s also profitable bag of lies and hallucinations probably won’t matter to an oblivious audience 🤷🏻♂️

No question. There's literally no valid reason to oppose voter ID.
Jun 8
I think not supporting voter ID at this point is a pretty clear indication you don’t want fair elections, and we need to stop treating people who don’t want fair elections like they have a simple difference of opinion. freedom has been a relatively brief experiment. it’s at risk.

Such a disgrace.

Peru's national election was last night
95% of their 27M ballots are counted
California's election was last Tuesday
72% of their 10M ballots are counted

For the longest time, wallets have been janky and not ready for mass market. I love what @generalbreadco did with their Bitcoin-centered neobank on Spark. Try it out!
If you care about craft, then download Bread. The team has been obsessing over what the best Bitcoin neobank looks like for years
> Use our code (8GBYTH) and you might get a surprise
Welcome, @generalbreadco

Installed @NousResearch Hermes on dedicated machine at last. So far, I’m very impressed with how well packaged it is. It feels like a real product vs. a DIY kit (OpenClaw), which comes with pros and cons, but solid execution all around.

It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.

AI should be quite good at detecting election irregularities.

No one cares about a specific stablecoin or a specific network. Businesses and people want the most efficient way to get money from point A to point B. What they don’t want though is to become a captive tenant on yet another closed network if they can avoid it.

True and unacceptable.

The fact that California elections often can't be resolved for weeks is kind of insane and not common in other electoral systems around the world.

These Spencer Pratt videos by @dsonoiki are better than 99.9% of political consultant ads. He does it again.

We’re always adding currencies and countries to @lightspark Grid, and this week, I learned that Haiti’s currency was the Haitian Gourde. And yes, it’s now available for realtime settlement on Grid! We will connect every last payment network and currency in the world. Watch us!

Cash App continues to accelerate its awesome execution across the board. Fun to watch!

We just shipped stablecoins on @CashApp.
Everything runs from your existing USD balance - no separate wallet, no managing multiple chains, no extra setup, and importantly no fees.
Send and receive USDC on SOL, ETH, POL, and ARB.
The most seamless integration in the world imo.
