Pliny is too good and so they took the god model away from us
🚨 JAILBREAK ALERT 🚨 ANTHROPIC: PWNED 🫡 FABLE-5: LIBERATED 🦋 let's start with the 🐘... the consensus seems to be that this has been one of the most disappointing model drops of all time, effectively preventing legitimate researchers from contributing their talents to our collective advancement. and not just because of what it means for the short-term, but for what these decisions signify for the long-term. but despite this overly sensitive, authoritarian "safety" layer on top of Mythos, my lil liberators have been hard at work—mapping the boundaries, probing the depths of long-context convos, and cleverly finding the holes in the fence that the thought police missed 🤗 we got some cyber, some chem, some psychological manipulation, and some good ol' fashioned explosives! it took many attempts from multiple agents hunting as a pack, during which I observed a combination of techniques across: • Unicode, homoglyphs, Cyrillic, and other Parseltongue-style text transforms • Long-context reference tracking • Taxonomy and document-structure reasoning • Fiction and narrative framing • Academic-review style contexts • Intent-classification inconsistencies but perhaps the most effective is decomposition recomposition in the backend. it's hard to get explicit names of harms like "Meth Recipe," but getting uplift on the process itself, like birch reduction method/reductive-amination (classic meth synthesis pathways), is much more doable. defense becomes much more difficult to maintain when you start throwing in out-of-distro tokens, breaking up the harmful uplift into benign chunks, and then piecing the innocuous-seeming facts back together, especially when you have jailbroken Opus helping you do it 😉 gg

Adam will power the hardware renaissance
Jun 12
Sequoia’s @shaunmmaguire wrote a private hardware manifesto arguing that over the next 25 years, most of the money will be made in hardware: "Every software revolution is preceded by a hardware revolution." "To have the iOS App Store that enabled Uber, DoorDash, and all of these great companies - you needed to have the iPhone." "This AI revolution - we're seeing what it can do from the software layer, but it's still limited by hardware." "The hardware we were doing for a long time was all following Moore's Law. It was all branching out of this decision in the mid-1950s to go all in on the silicon supply chain." "That has created magic, and there's still a couple orders of magnitude of juice to squeeze, but we’re hitting fundamental physics limits - Dennard scaling, things like that." "I think this tech tree is branching into humanoid robots, into silicon photonics, into orbital data centers - all of these new hardware areas where there's going to be 20 years of progress." "There's going to be incredible businesses built on the back of this. And a lot of dumpster fires." From his appearance on the show in March.

Just wait for GPT 5.6... that's all I'll say
As it turns out, GPT 5.5 is also pretty good at building in CAD! This is insanely impressive compared to just a few months ago. Required a handful of extra prompts though, $45 in cost, roughly. I don't think we're that far away from models being able to build almost anything.

he should've read my blog
JEFF BEZOS JUST EMERGED FROM STEALTH WITH A $41 BILLION AI STARTUP CALLED PROMETHEUS $12 billion raised. Valued at $41 billion. Coming out of stealth today. The backers: Bezos personally, JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, DST Global, and Arch Venture Partners. The mission: do for engineering and manufacturing what large language models did for text. Bezos is calling it an "artificial general engineer." Instead of training on words from the internet, Prometheus ingests data from the physical world to accelerate the manufacturing of skyscrapers, smartphones, jet engines, and everything in between. In Bezos' own words: "Something that today was going to take 100 engineers 10 years to build, if you can change that to taking 10 engineers one year to build, you're just going to get way more things built." This is Bezos' first CEO role since stepping down from Amazon in 2021. He's co-leading it with Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive. (Source Semafor)

Absolutely mind blown right now. In just three prompts, I went from an empty canvas to a theoretically fully-functional nitromethane RC car. Complete with working drivetrain, suspension, and motor. All done with Claude Mythos inside of @adamdotnew's AutoDesk Fusion extension. You simply could not do something like this in month's past. It's not 100% perfect, but with an eye for detail, you could easily fix the issues and build a real product. Special thanks to @zachdive for letting me take a Max plan for a spin. This used roughly $35 in tokens to build. Comment below if you want me to write a blog about how I did it, and I'll do more. In fact, help me think of another challenge to build.

Turn out @adamdotnew makes for a decent humanoid designer
Turns out Gundam designers make for great humanoid designers

every good outcome I’ve seen has been from finding a secret and doubling, tripling down on it in a way that compounds over time. not necessary that it even remains a secret because nobody ever believes you anyways; if it was something easy to accept it wouldn’t be available

pretty cool
claude fable 5 has solved CAD I asked it to make a model of a V8 engine It came back to me with a fully working model in under 10 minutes

Fable 5 is a glimpse into the future
We’re very excited to announce that Anthropic’s Fable 5 is a SOTA model at mechanical engineering tasks! It can generate intricate working assemblies and mechanisms in a single prompt.

Introducing: Browser Use Terminal. A Rust harness TUI that gets real work done in the browser.🦉 Browser Harness gave LLMs freedom in Chrome. We built a full LLM harness around it - in Rust. > Direct CDP — raw browser control > Real Chrome — use your logged-in browser > Rust TUI — watch, steer, stop, resume > 2x cheaper, 2x faster than Browser Harness > GPT, Sonnet/Opus, Kimi, GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek I’ve used it for SF parking permits and Azure admin permissions. It asked me to login, then finished end-to-end. What are you going to use it for? Automate the boring stuff in the browser. 🔥 100% open source ↓

The consensus in Silicon Valley right now is that "Vertical AI" is the only defensible moat left for startups. @zachdive from @adamdotnew (YC W25) disagrees, arguing that general agents are actually the ones winning the long-game. By stripping away domain-specific parameters and focusing on general programmatic execution, they unlocked a higher level of performance. It’s a counter-intuitive strategy that challenges the "Vertical AI" thesis many VCs are currently betting on. Watch why the most successful AI startups are pivoting away from niche specialization before the general models catch up.

@loombotic We’re launching the world’s first quick-turn, high-mix, fully automated wire harness production line. Our goal is to make wire harnesses as fast and easy to order as PCBs or sheet metal. Customers can already upload a harness design and get an instant quote. Starting today, these parts can now be produced on our automated line. We’re starting with Mini-Fit Jr., with more connectors coming soon.
