Guys it's okay. No reason to be scared 😂 My life mission to make crypto taxes not suck. Sat: koinly founder scraping our tutorial Sun: cointracker bullying me in the comments Mon: tokentax adds recaptchas to make it hard to switch to Awaken. These tactics don't win. Best product does. And I was coding til 2am last night IDK about you.

“You get 2 weeks before we charge you for fable, have fun” - Anthropic “We need regulation” - Dario “Hmmm, true. No more Fable” - US gov “Sorry we meant 2 days not 2 weeks.” - Anthropic I prob did 2 months worth of work in 3 days bc of Fable.
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…

I’m in a coffee shop. Someone is taking a course on “how to use GitHub for engineers” I don’t know the last time I’ve had to use git bc of AI. Who’s gonna tell him.

I do wonder sometimes... What would happen if politicians learned basic economics? The reason we have grocery stores. Or cars. Or computers. Or refrigerators. Is bc we incentivize people to create things. And you capture a portion of it. This is why the quality of human life across the board has improved so much so rapidly. It’s bc of trillionaires and billionaires and millionaires. I really don’t get this political rhetoric.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends: Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

In pro xStocks. But today is a pretty terrible proof point for tokenizing existing securities. If you tried to get in on the action blockchain first… You lost today.

24h later, I was completely wrong. I maxed it out on multiple hard tasks and it crushed it (with a few rounds of iteration). Things that would have taken weeks. Took sub one day. Holy. Shit.

Maybe I’m an idiot but Fable for most of my tasks is slower and worse. Blew through the credits. Back to GPT 5.5 and it’s able to do it and it’s a lot faster. For 99% of dev tasks end users care about it doesn’t require much IQ.

I am not a tax expert, but my prediction: Ordinary income taxes (for most people) will be abolished. Economic disparity between capital owners and laborers is turbocharged. So I think the gov will end up reducing taxes on income from labor. But increase taxes on capital owners (cap gains across stocks, crypto, etc). Given that is where most wealth has been and will continue to be created. darioamodei.com/post/policy-…

Who’s building lovable for the ladies?
Lovable just crossed $500M ARR, 50M projects built, and 720M monthly visits to Lovable-built projects. With that, we're introducing our first-ever data study: A First Look at the Build Economy. Here's what stands out to me: → 80% of builders come from non-technical backgrounds. → 55% have 11 years of professional experience. → 79% are building something they intend to monetize. → 35% are already earning revenue. → The strongest predictor of what people build is often what they already do and know. → The fastest-growing builder groups are founders, designers, and sales professionals. It's the beginning of an entirely new economy. Proud of the team for putting this together, and even more excited to see what people build next. thebuildeconomy.lovable.app/ LFG 🚀

Is anyone actually using loops with AI? Sounds like a really effective way to funnel money out of your pocket. And into the AI labs.

Frontier labs are like hot dog carts. They tell you to eat one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Loop the hot dogs forever, just a conveyor belt into your mouth. But you’re just so sick of hot dogs and now your cholesterol is sky high.

Couple years ago, a pretty prominent VC firm passed on Awaken. Totally reasonable. But the reasoning was “I have to get a better return than just holding ETH.” Well… (our revenue is up 40x since then)
