Under these proposals at 17 you’ll be able to vote, join the army and drive a car but not allowed to watch premier league highlights on YouTube on a Saturday night. What an absurd idea.

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

I have a weird feeling -- and please note, my weird feelings are not always reliable -- that this may be the beginning of things starting to get weird.

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.

People talk, listen, watch, think, and collaborate at the same time, in real time. We've designed an AI that works with people the same way.
We share our approach, early results, and a quick look at our model in action.

I got tired of reading AI slop PR descriptions
So I had @StageReviewApp just tell me what I actually want to know: why this PR and what it does

called it so hard. here comes the wave
Narrative violations abound:
- Demand for software engineers is rising
- Software devs are rising as a share of new jobs
- AI exposed industries are seeing above-trend wage growth
- Open PM jobs haven't been higher since 2022

Introducing Blueprint-Bench 2.
3D spatial intelligence is not something AI models are trained for. We built the original Blueprint-Bench to track when it would emerge. At the time, no models showed any sign of such intelligence.
Seven months later, the first signs are here.

intuition is doing a lot of the work. “it’s just a computer!”, “it’s just statistics”
we have zero idea how consciousness works. so fact is: we have no idea if LLMs are conscious
i suspect many are answering a proxy, like “is it as morally valuable as a human?”, “does it feel like a human does?”. and they reject that because it feels absurd

The reaction to Dawkins deciding Claude is conscious is fascinating.
It really is just the Strong AI position that Roger Penrose was criticising in the 1980s. If you think consciousness is just an emergent property of a sufficiently complex computer then of course AI is conscious. It passes the Turing test and that’s it.
The really interesting part is why it is obvious to so many of us that AI is *not* conscious: obvious to the point we think Dawkins’ credulity is amusing. What are we basing that on? Are we deluded or is there something else to consciousness that we cannot articulate but that we clearly sense?

slam on dawkins if you want, but i don’t think people are adequately grappling with LLMs. we can say “it’s just a statistical process”, but LLMs are definitely “mind-like”. his claim is grand, but the reality is pretty bonkers whether or not you talk about consciousness

I still remember how it felt to step off that boat. I did it so many times. Beautiful game. There’s a before and after Morrowind split in my life.

Not a fan of these clichéd “we used to think the mind was clockwork” analogies. Sometimes science just makes progress. Hearts really are pumps. DNA really is code-like. Disease really is caused by microorganisms.
Some mechanistic explanations were wrong; others are just true.

This is just like being alive in the 1600s when they got good at making complicated clocks and deduced that every complicated thing in the universe probably functioned exactly like a clock
