Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, b/c in the last analysis all moments are key moments, & life itself is grace.

2026 is 45% complete.

Claude is like a box of chocolates. You never know which model are you going to get.

I can’t believe Anthropic comparing their product to nuclear weapons 800 times backfired on them. I am shocked

Elon is now worth a trillion dollars which means Dave Ramsey may actually be okay with him buying a new car at the sticker price.

cfos everywhere: we are so back

yes, eventually Fable was banned. but for a beautiful moment in time, we could one shot our whole backlog

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…

I can understand why Italians saw this and decided to invent unemployment

Accidentally re-inventing “thinking” from first principles

It is the official position of the Catholic Church that the sport is called Soccer. Total cultural victory achieved. 🇺🇸

At times we experience the night of faith, the weariness of believing, the fatigue of the spirit, a sense of inadequacy in the face of the Gospel’s call, the bitterness of our failures. These nights are a time of blessing and a place for rebirth. #ApostolicJourney

This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time. I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!

I've had access to Fable for a bit. A genuine jump in capability, I could feed it a 15 page design document for a project and it would work for 9 hours and deliver terrific results. But working with it is weird & weirder is coming Lots of examples: open.substack.com/pub/oneuse…

NEW: Anthropic will reportedly launch “Claude Fable” later today — a Mythos-class model.

The biggest cheat code to getting fit is being boring. Eat the same meals. Get stronger by doing the same workouts. Go to bed and wake up at the same times. The fittest people you know aren't chasing shiny objects. They're doubling down, repeating the boring fundamentals.

Seven new models launching at Build: let’s go! Reasoning. Code. Image. Transcribe. Voice. Built from scratch on a clean data lineage, designed for efficiency, working seamlessly as a family of models Thread 🧵

Charity admits no delay. Our responsibility before those in need makes every encounter with others a unique and unrepeatable moment of grace for love, not to be missed or postponed. The love of Christ impels us toward our brothers and sisters, and the charity and care with which we respond are the test of our faith. #ApostolicJourney #Spain
