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…

nothing more humbling than meeting a person who is casually better at a thing that you have made an identity out of

They should shut down market orders on the first day or this one will be opening at $4 billion...

*Samsung is paying 78,000 chip workers a $340,000 bonus each* .Not their salary. The bonus. The total bill is $26.6 billion, which equals 1.4% of South Korea's entire economy, going to less than 0.3% of the country's workforce. The average Korean earns roughly $32,000 a year. So each Samsung chip worker is pocketing about a decade of normal pay in one go. Memory-division employees may collect closer to $396,000. The cash comes straight out of Samsung's chip profits, which are projected to hit 330 trillion won (around $218 billion) this year. It's seven times higher than just a few years ago, driven by the AI boom. The deal gives workers 12% of those profits: 10.5% as company stock, the other 1.5% in cash. And not just this year. The setup repeats every year for the next decade, as long as profit targets get hit. KDI, South Korea's main economic think tank, just raised its 2026 growth forecast from 1.9% to 2.5%, thanks entirely to the chip boom. The extra growth works out to about $48 billion in new GDP. More than half of that is now landing in the bank accounts of 78,000 workers at one company. Real estate noticed early. In the first three months of 2026, before the contract was even signed, apartment sales in Dongtan, the suburb next to Samsung's main Hwaseong campus, more than doubled compared to a year earlier. Up 128.9%. Pyeongtaek climbed 36.8%. Yeongtong, where Samsung's headquarters sits, rose 28.7%. Local agents told the Seoul Economic Daily the buying began the moment bonus talks leaked. The tax bill is even bigger than the bonus. The Korean government expects to collect roughly 100 trillion won, around $67 billion, in extra tax revenue from the chip sector this year alone. The presidential office has openly floated a "national dividend," a direct cash payment to every Korean citizen, to redistribute the gains. Other industries are paying attention. SK Hynix locked in a similar 10% profit-share deal last September. Hyundai's union has reportedly asked for the same arrangement. Trouble is, cars and batteries don't run chip-level margins, and Korea's main business lobby has warned that copying this deal across the country's big family-owned conglomerates (the chaebol world) could blow up wage talks everywhere. Samsung's group of companies already account for around 22% of South Korean GDP. Whether 2026 ends up a good or a great year for Korea now mostly depends on a single number: how many memory chips Samsung and SK Hynix can ship to AI data centers from California to the Middle East. Forty trillion won, going to 78,000 people clustered in three cities south of Seoul. Korea's wealth map is being redrawn around the chip belt.

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

Put a 100 marbles in a jar, 14 blue marbles to represent the population of the West, and 86 red marbles to represent everyone else. If you draw a marble, blindly and at random, from the jar, you have a 14% chance of drawing a blue marble. This how @justalexoki sees the moment of conception. He thinks he is a random generic soul, fresh from the Well of Random Generic Souls, drawing a marble from the jar. 14% blue, 86% red. But you don't draw the marble. You are the marble. A blue marble only has a 14% chance of being selection in a random draw. But, in or out of the jar, a blue marble has a 100% chance of being blue. This is the Seagull Test, which is an inversion of the Breakfast Test. The Breakfast Test requires you to describe a hypothetical timeline where you skipped breakfast this morning, to prove you can imagine hypotheticals. The Seagull Test requires you to reject the question "What if you were a seagull?" as a nonsense question, to prove that you understand the difference between valid and nonsense hypotheticals. You can skip breakfast and still be you, but there is no version of you that can be a seagull, and no seagull that can, in any meaningful way, be you. To pass the Seagull Test, you must reject the question and refuse to answer, or, better yet, reframe the question so that it asks for the intended information in a coherent way, i.e. "What does it feel like to be a seagull?" Which is a very, very different question. I can, with good observational data and some intelligent speculation, possibly understand the thoughts and feelings of a Pakistani brick layer. But I cannot be one in any coherently possible universe, because I am, by definition, me. A blue marble.

The biggest advancement in AI coding this year has been /goal And it isn't even close It allows your AI agent to quite literally work for days without stopping. You give a mission. It works until the mission is complete Here's the thing though: /goal is useless if you don't use it properly You NEED a good prompt for it I found basically any prompt I hand write after /goal is never good enough. It produces results that might as well have been a normal prompt Meta prompting is the answer Go to any AI that has context around the project you're working on Say "I'm working with Codex and I want to use their new /goal feature. Please research their /goal feature. Then, take a look at our project and give me 3 options for how we could use /goal to be maximally productive. Then give me a highly detailed /goal prompt for each" Take one of the prompts then go into the Codex CLI and type /goal then give the new prompt I 100% guarantee the AI does better work than you've ever seen before

gpt-5.5 prompt for codex seems to have a duplicated line trying to get it to not talk about creatures? Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user's query.
