i think what is unintuitive about anthropic is that it’s a company that actually strongly believes in a set of things and their actions really reflect these beliefs. it’s not what we are used to. most companies morph their beliefs to align with their incentives.

He then *adds this to three.js* ...

Up until now, the models had been using primitives for building objects. I couldn’t believe the Boeing 747 shared by @victormustar was also built from primitives, so I investigated. With Three.js DevTools I could see the geometry was fully custom. The source was minified, so I downloaded it and asked Claude to analyze it. huggingface.co/spaces/victor… Turns out these models have now learned to generate their own custom geometry constructors when the library doesn’t provide them.

It would be entirely in keeping with the character of this government for the export control directive to be nothing more than ham-fisted retaliation against a company that tried to tell it no and survived its initial attempts at bullying.

Annoying? Yes. Wrong? No. Commercially incentivized irresponsibility is wrong.

I believe what Anthropic is doing, gating the ability to do certain harmless things like LLM research, and with incredibly sensitive filters that even medical questions are often blocked, is *deeply* wrong. They got open research, the Transformer, GPT2, ...

The modern ambivalence is that morality does exist but no one should try to ensure others act in a moral fashion. Due to a complete loss of the concept of the sacred or authority in general, morality is circumscribed to silent personal decision making.

And if your moral stance forbids actively aiding others in their dangerous acts? Well then, you're a monster who has gotten above yourself.

It's a weird place to be for me to prefer power concentrated in industry to democratic institutions. Hopefully this is a temporary condition and Democracy redeems itself.

If you want to be responsible today putting *any* additional ability in the hands of *this* government is a failure.

Very happy user of Niteshift! It powers our internal SDLC pipeline and I've never worked with a more responsive team!
We're launching @niteshiftdev – the full-stack cloud for coding agents Verification is the new bottleneck. Software teams can now define their dev environment and verification tools once. Then run any frontier agent in the cloud: Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode

Fable is insane. Ultracode more so. Wish harder!
Agent work is now about learning how to *wish harder*.

Phrases that have inspired me, "You can simply ask for a fully mocked out API for a third party service" "Just set a /goal and come back tomorrow" "I don't wait for companies to add features anymore, I just ask for a clone that has that feature."

RAS finally getting drugged is one of the great stories in modern biology, and almost nobody outside oncology understands why it's such a big deal. YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY. i am going to keep this as understandable (and simple) as i can. OPEN THE THREAD. 🧵
Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived #ASCO26

SpaceX being rammed into indices with no profit requirements, seasoning, and generally looser constraints is economic terrorism. Index trackers will eat the loss when reality catches up and retail investors will suffer.

China is testing tethered firefighting drones for high-rise emergencies. These drones turn fire trucks into ground-based power and water stations. Instead of relying on onboard batteries or small payloads, the drone stays connected by a reinforced tether that supplies power and firefighting media from the ground. This is practical because it gets a nozzle closer to upper-floor fires where ladders, street access, and deployment time are problems. It is early, but this shows how robotics can extend the reach of firefighters rather than replace them.

Today's AI writing smell: "... [it's/that's] not just [X]. It's [Y]."

Is this evil? Pretty sure this is evil.
Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free. Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing. In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed. By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services. Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way. Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

A completely open world game with unlimited consistency, duration and the visual fidelity of Seedance or Omni is possible *today*. Cost is prohibitive and there's some engineering to be done, but good lord we're about to enter a stunning age of entertainment and gaming.

Every single time I have tried Omni. It doesn't work, I try again and then I run out of generations. 🤷
