Anthropic with software engineers:

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Europe just saved the world- again You're welcome.
EU bans single-use plastic packets for ketchup and other condiments, customers will have to use shared bottles or refillable dispensers
Community note
Partly true. The EU has agreed to ban single-use plastic packaging by 2025, with the ban due to come into force in 2030. Ready-made takeaway meals are exempt from this ban. Single-use packets are still permitted in restaurants if they are made from other materials. eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2025/4… ppai.org/media-hub/euro…

Wow. this is insane "Sony just built a spin-tracking AI robot called Ace that can go head-to-head with elite table tennis players." "It doesn’t just hit the ball, it reads spin, predicts trajectories, and adapts in real time like an actual opponent" "In matches, it won 3 out of 5 against top-tier players, though professionals still managed to beat it twice." "This is huge because table tennis has always been a nightmare for robotics, insanely fast, unpredictable, and brutally precise."

8 React components per line 😅
Apr 21
Replying to @github
After overhauling the React architecture of GitHub's "Files changed" tab, we dropped Interaction to Next Paint (INP) from ~450ms to ~100ms. 📉 React components cut from 8 to 2 per line 🔑 O(1) data access with JS Maps 🪟 Window virtualization for giant PRs

Anthropic said Mythos was too dangerous to release. Then four random guys in a Discord gained access on day one by guessing the URL... This is pretty insane: → Group in a private Discord guessed the endpoint from Anthropic's naming conventions → They figured out the conventions from the leak in the Mercor breach three weeks ago → Used a contractor's legit eval credentials to walk in → Have been using it ever since to build simple websites The AI that finds zero-days in every operating system on earth was defeated by address bar autocomplete... big yikes
Anthropic's Mythos has been accessed by a small group of unauthorized users, raising questions about control of the AI model bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Cautionary tale: After a one-month AI trial without decent (10x expected) results, a mid-sized engineering company decided to reduce head count by 50% with zero transparency. Despite the hype, LLMs aren't a magic fix for complex legacy systems developed for 20 years.
Company adopts AI with 200 engineers, the bill is over 100k for the 'first' month. Nothing changed, except low hanging fruits (dependency updates, preliminary reviews) being prompted by managers. Wonder how cost gets justified long term, esp. since it will likely keep raising.

SCOOP: Leaked photo of the first AI compute data centre that Allbirds built with its recent $50m investment. Insiders say that the rack has enough capacity to provide tokens for 7 AI chatbot users.
