Europeans please wake up.

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.

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li: "The world is not made of words."
"Language models have given machines an extraordinary command of concepts, vocabulary, and reasoning, but the physical world, virtual or real, runs on a different substrate."
"Where language models learn the statistical structure of text, world models learn the statistical structure of space and time: how light falls on a surface, how a garden looks from an angle no camera has captured, how objects respond to force and follow the laws of physics."
"Language gave machines a way to talk about that world. World models are how machines will finally come to understand, imagine, reason and interact with it."

Claude Opus 4.8: "Removed it. Honesty corrections made this round (directly relevant after the last mess)-Fabrication caught and removed. An earlier draft of k007d had me quote the Zola maintainer as"Plugins won't happen, see #4 for the gory details"—I made that up." 😅

Rust 1.96 is out!
My favorite change is the new core::range::* types.
Today in Rust, 0..10 still creates the legacy range type.
The thing is: that type is also an Iterator, so it has iteration state. Once you start consuming it, it changes:
let mut r = 0..3;
r. next(); // Some(0)
r. next(); // Some(1)
And this is why making it Copy would be kind of dangerous, because you would be copying something that also has internal iteration state, which can get confusing pretty fast. The new core::range::Range fixes this by separating the idea of “a range” from the act of iterating over it.
It uses IntoIterator instead of being an Iterator directly, and now a range can behave more like plain data: just start and end.
This makes it possible to store ranges inside small Copy types, like spans, slice accessors, parser tokens, compiler ranges, editor selections, and similar stuff.
Small change, but very Rust!
![use core::range::Range;
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug)]
struct Span(Range<usize>);
impl Span {
fn text(self, input: &str) -> &str {
&input[self.0]
}
}
fn main() {
let span = Span(Range { start: 0, end: 4 });
let copied = span;
let text = "Rust 1.96";
println!("{}", span.text(text));
println!("{}", copied.text(text));
}](https://venexa.site/media/HJdk3iGXsAUEESZ.jpg)
ALT use core::range::Range; #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug)] struct Span(Range<usize>); impl Span { fn text(self, input: &str) -> &str { &input[self.0] } } fn main() { let span = Span(Range { start: 0, end: 4 }); let copied = span; let text = "Rust 1.96"; println!("{}", span.text(text)); println!("{}", copied.text(text)); }

Assessing narrative consistency in long-form story generation. Our experiments show that current LLMs still produce systematic consistency errors, especially in factual tracking and temporal reasoning; moreover, these errors are not random but cluster in predictable narrative regions — Junjie Li

Let me give a nuanced take:
Automation is a self-correcting loop given a big enough context. When humans stop earning, they also stop spending money on the very products made by it. This lessens the value of automation until it intersects with wages.

How on earth do people still assume blue-collar work is safe from automation?
A robot can work 200 hours nonstop.
A human works around 40 hours a week, needs weekends, sleep, breaks, sick days, and vacations.
That changes the economics completely.

First I’m going to stop selling my time for money.
Then I’ll bootstrap a product. I’ll scratch my itch.
It will make little money at first, so I’ll do some freelancing.
But only some, so I have enough energy to improve my product.
