It’s getting hard to escape the conclusion that Pauline Hanson, who ran in 1996 as a Liberal, will always be a Liberal, and that the Liberal Party is increasingly One Nation.

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. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

You can already start to see it.

Phil says this is stupid because radiators are a "solved problem" but then stops short of extrapolating what that means. The radiator surface area they specify is about the right size for the math to check out. You can make pretty much any physics "work" if you scale the right values on paper. The feasibility isn't about physics, its about economics. For a moderately sized 100MW "data center" you'd need a fleet of close to 700 satellites to match its earthly alternative. That's an ISS's worth (the most expensive single structure ever built by humanity) of radiators, 700 times over, for a single "data center". To put that into perspective that's about 73,000 m² or roughly 14 football fields worth of surface area The costs to build such a fleet is insane compared to the the earthly alternatives we have yet to exploit and it assumes a lot of things that might not continue to hold true - like wattage per op staying constant. It’s like someone looking at room-sized computers in the 50s and extrapolating that we are going to have a land crisis and starts imagining large floating sea platforms to host our computing future

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.

People are still debating whether net zero will happen or not and here I am thinking about how controversial all the desal plants along the coast of the Bight are going to be for cooling the tens of thousands of data centres

Massive renewable rollouts are destroying land & habitats under the ‘green’ guise. Now data centers are piling on, devouring water & power at insane scale. Where’s Chris Bowen? What a bunch of hypocrites.
