Just wait for the ending pls 🤭🤣🤣

Amazing

Complete slop writing. 95% of work done in companies by humans is not thinking new things but executing on thinking of few. Once that human capital goes to token capital to do things, those humans don’t exist in company anymore.

One of my mental models for last 9 yrs has been that if you see someone who claims to be “building” in crypto or claims to profess crypto as the ultimate financial asset, Just write that person off immediately as a moron and not worth spending a sec of your time.

What timeline are we on man. There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down. The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries. The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund. That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them. The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway. Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online. The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports. And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother. UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle. Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.

wow sick new billboards from openai

Good job!

The most amazing thing of stopping immigrants in America to use Anthropic's Fable model is that 8 out of 9 ppl who were the author of "Attention is all you need" paper, that led to entire LLM era, were foreign born immigrants many of them on visa back then.

JUST IN: 21-year-old dies after workers forget to attach safety rope and push her off 40-meter bridge in São Paulo’s Limeira, Brazil

want to point out a few really interesting things here 1. Claude Code is actually the worst performing harness when using the same model, significantly behind opencode and cursor cli this is the core reason i've been against the LLM companies focusing their business on locking people into their harness what they are good at is making great models. they suck at making good harness products, just like how power plants won't make the best dishwashers, and how internet providers won't make the best phones if anthropic wants to do what's best for their users, they should let people use their subscriptions in whatever harness they choose, not locked into claude code alone 2. fable 5 max is only 1pt above gpt 5.5 xhigh (77 vs 76) this matches my experience so far - fable 5 does have the big model smell and it's pretty good, but it's not a massive jump forward like their marketing suggested, at least not on building software this is actually alarming for anthropic because it's very unlikely people will want to pay 2x higher cost for the 1pt difference. my speculation would be that in enterprises people will be restricted to adopt fable & mythos only on some mission critical tasks, not used at scale

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…

Story of ever Musk business. And Silicon Valley tech bros will whitewash it

The comments on this post shows you that in an era when AI can help you build anything , 99% ppl really do not have Taste nor the sense of human behavior. If humans could just train in gym with an instruction manual tuned to them, the world would be super fit already.

"mom, how did we get so poor?" "your father had Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, Cursor Pro and shipped absolutely nothing"

Absolutely correct. Odessia is Dead Man Walking in its current form. cc @vivianmshen

Extremely stupid and idiotic response. Smoking tobacco is harmful for health. Can u kill tobacco industry? Lyn's problem is she has never been able to show evidence of any single use of BTC as money or currency except El Salvador scams, yet, she wud keep shilling for it

This is biblical. A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years. Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin. She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.

of course-- their ARR is other person's ARR.

Germany currently has about 26 gigawatt hours of battery storage. Most of it sits in home batteries with only 4.3 gigawatt hours actually serving the grid. Building that storage already cost more than 10 billion euros and at national demand levels it only covers roughly 30 minutes of summer electricity usage. The winter months bring what's known as "Dunkeflaute" - cold dark windless periods and higher energy usage. To survive a 10-day winter lull (the minimum realistic requirement), Germany would need about 12,000 gigawatt hours of batteries, 470 times today's storage. Such a system would weigh roughly 60 million tons and would be made from vast quantities of lithium, nickel, graphite, copper, aluminum and steel, all requiring intensive mining. At current battery prices, the system would cost trillions of euros. And batteries last only 10 to 15 years, meaning the entire system would need constant replacement. The conclusion is unavoidable... Wind and solar require reliable backup power, renewables need oil, coal, gas and nuclear.
