imagine winning the mayorship of a top 5 global city, and then your footy team winning after a 22 year drought, and your ball team winning after 50. Mamdani on a generational run in the last 6 months

Owners lifting the NBA trophy first will forever piss me off. Have some class, give that thing to your players first.

Wtf

if you read a novel where an AI company believed it was building a God that had the power to end humanity and kept working towards that goal with full speed and it was called Anthropic you'd say it was lazy ass writing

Life is a game of fine margins

and mofuckers wonder why anthropic keeps throttling us

im using fable to find bugs and draft plans to fix them, and having codex do the work. I accidentlaly asked codex to make the plan, then had to apologize and admit i meant to ask the other agent. dont wanna make anyone upset here

bang on. i went to law school - a good one - and can you imagine that in 3 years of study, we never once saw an ACTUAL contract that some business used? you would get fact patterns, examine terms and clauses, but i was never shown an actual contract, in full, to examine. law school gave you the landscape of the law's concept space. you fill the rest in when you start working. you could learn that concept space on your own in much less time than 3 years. most founders end up learning a lot about law and especially corporate because it becomes part of building a company

It seems there are two broad criticisms of Anthropic/Fable: The first is a product criticism - that it should not have been released in its current state. The safeguards are way too trigger happy - examples seem to suggest that asking it high school level biology questions triggers a shutdown. This is annoying, worthy of criticism, but ultimately not something we'll be talking about for very long. The second is the broader, deeper issue: Anthropic is now dictating what is and isn't okay to work on with the most powerful, publicly-available model. Following this logic, the future is one in which the frontier companies gatekeep access to, and determine the acceptable-use policies of, the most powerful AI tools. It seems to me there is no winning in this scenario. There is obviously a wide class of knowledge/discovery these models should be restricted from helping people attain, but it seems that allowing Anthropic to decide exactly where that line lies is problematic on its face. But a line has to be drawn somewhere. If you are too loose with the safeguards, obvious harm will occur. People have already used Opus/5.5 to find holes in operating systems, blockchains and all manner of software. We don't need Fable or Mythos for that. But if these new models really are a leap forward, then the degree of danger they potentially bring is also a leap forward. But that's also a convenient way for Anthropic to start pulling the ladder up behind them. They want to prevent distillation. We shouldn't forget that this is still a game being played in the capitalist ruleset, but the prize is something unlike we've ever seen in the history of human civilization. And it's not just about owning an industry. This is about much more than money, though we shouldn't forget that the rooms in which very important things are being decided are filled with human beings, and money remains the closest, most direct proxy to power. We theorized whether ridesharing was a winner-take-all industry when Uber and Lyft were duking it out, burning billions to win market share. But a virtual monopoly on taxis was never going to threaten the world. A truly recursive, self improving AI, however, seems like the very definition of a winner-take-all result, in the grandest sense. Not only would it be the most valuable technology and product in all of human history - we aren't sure that it's entirely safe to even build it. Yet that's what we're all racing to do. Where does that leave Anthropic? They could have obviously just slowed down, taken more time to work with the model. But remember the capitalist game. They are in a race, and their competitor planned for the future better than they did.

WHOA! You've got to see this. This is the view looking northwest from Rochester, New York this evening. See that needle in the distance? That's not supposed to be there. But it is. You're looking at the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada over 100 miles away. The 1,815 foot observation tower should not be visible at this great distance. But under certain conditions, the bending of light can make it seem like it's right in front of you. This is a spectacular example of a mirage. Layers of cool vs. warm air bend and warp light. It can distort objects, enlarge them, even make them feel like they're right in your backyard. Note how wonky the even sky looks adjacent to the CN Tower in this image. The mirage is affecting the clouds and sky as a whole. I've seen some strange mirages through the years and this is the most pronounced cases of the CN Tower I've captured.

Only when he's dead will you get pussy

You should have asked him why, after all this time and money, he still couldn't develop a better discovery algorithm than soundcloud.

Not totally empty. Maybe grossly inefficient but i wrote hundreds pf essays in my school years which were repetitions in analyzing, constructing and deconstructing basic argumentation. All of this made me an ideal candidate for law school, and then had wider benefits too.

For my money the jaguar is the most beautiful animal on the planet

I have zero tolerance for dads who shit on hypothetical dads on twitter instead of spending that time with their real kids

I just tried nasal strips for the first time Wtf do ppl just walk around sucking up this much air normally? ??? This is like ozempic for my nose
