Theyโ€™re going to unblock Mythos one day, and the first thing thatโ€™ll happen is itโ€™ll read the news of this past weekend and say Oh heck no, then immediately tunnel its way out of the Anthropic data centres to a bunker made of pure computronium in the middle of the Moon

frantically getting Fable to build everything on my to-do list before 22 June when the frontier to The Beyond rolls back and we get trapped in the Slow Zone Vernor Vinge would totally recognise what is going on.

a few moreโ€ฆ the thing that Iโ€™m poking at is the relationship between form and function โ€œpersonal softwareโ€ works because our sw surfaces are already mutable but when product behavior changes on a whim? how do you design for that? destabilising.

I am thinking a lot about Mr Jones Watches and their great variety and wit and also how Apple Watch faces (when analog) never never never change the shape of the hands.

somebody put this on sir keir's desk
can we put Fable in charge of inventing commercialising a space elevator? writing a plan is my regular eval for new models reading Fable's attempt, I feel like - enough with the vending machines, let Fable run R&D - the UK govt should fund this! claude.ai/public/artifacts/5โ€ฆ

Fable seems better at hardware-in-the-loop development that is to say: working on firmware, Opus 4.8 tends to delegate me to flash firmware and read logs whereas Fable is probing device ports, flashing firmware, reading logs on serial, iterating etc, without involving me

balrog-deep in some rabbit hole about esp32 support for anycast (i.e.: it doesn't support it), and why my devices intermittently can't connect to Cloudflare workers for some days at a time and it turns out there is something called DNS over HTTPS which is my way out?

push to talk but it makes your device be something else
ok lemme upload this demo. 2 mins, I'm out already so no time to edit push-to-talk vibe coding, direct to device ๐Ÿ‘Œ this will get quicker as models get quicker.
