Just incredible interest in @MikeFritzell's piece on how to use Claude for Equity Research and Investing. He goes into quite a lot of depth. 🎓

@sanjeevpai Well their capital is certainly U.S. capital. And this Administration is likely only temporary.

For the record I'm totally okay if Anthropic moves its HQ to Toronto, Canada or Tokyo, Japan or London, England or Sydney Australia and abandons the United States.

@covrovski @lnyisn I think product utility is the only benchmark that matters in the end. Not many of these Labs are building genuinely useful stuff.

@ReadFuturist @lnyisn You should not trust any public benchmarks for any models, including US rug pull models. You should do your own, otherwise you are nothing but a sheep.

@blader @ReadFuturist The average American can’t afford a 1K emergency and the healthcare system is subpar.

Just like I had predicted RSI is now part of the AGI marketing narrative. For example an interesting new paper out of Google Deepmind highlights this. Unfortunately they are trying to turn “superintelligence” into a legit way of seeing the future. The report maps out the technical landscape, continuum of intelligence, and societal implications of transitioning from human-level Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). Where: AGI (Informal Characterization): A system capable of matching human-level cognitive performance across a broad spectrum of contextually relevant tasks. ASI (Informal Characterization): A system that is significantly more intelligent, capable, and cognitively advanced than any individual human or human collective across nearly all domains that is capable of self-improving at a rapid rate. The paper outlines four pathways through which AGI might evolve into ASI: Hard to believe academics are writing like this: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.12683

Where ASI presumably leads to a generalized RSI at scale. They don't explain how or why this could occur.

Retail stocks that make sense to me are: $ONON $BOOT and even $M In retail you need significant growth and a valuation you are comfortable with. Retail trends are like a multi-year momentum play, and you need to find companies with acceptable margins.

Reads like a quasi-academic paper AI slop, linking to a bunch of other papers with fairly little original contributions imho. Not a great sign for the future of these capabilities tbh.

@bindureddy Because if he were in charge we would all still be using ChatGPT or would be onboarded to Codex with Ads. Luckily the world has sort of moved on from that.

Why isn’t David Sacks running all things AI for the US? He understands the tech, the trade-offs and the risks of banning AI Governments are by nature bureaucratic, clueless and innovation blockers At a minimum, we need someone who is informed to head key areas

@haider1 @DKokotajlo Does Trump sound like someone who's tightening his grip? He barely can remember Anthropic's name on most days. He just knows that's the company he needs to suppress and bully. But he's so personally unpopular, his harshness is literally an endorsement.

Haider.@haider1·
it's happening... i think the current situation between anthropic and the U.S. government is pretty similar to what AI 2027 predicted by @DKokotajlo when the government starts worrying about national security and model access it begins tightening its grip

Part of sales is eliciting publicity and sentiment that might lead to more sales. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, so long as you stay true to your talking points. Mythos almost days has made me forget OpenAI even exists. The truth is there's a whole wave of new AI startups coming to eat their lunch.

@O_Anu_O Well it certainly doesn't feel like AI has been democratized. ChatGPT sounds more harmful than it's useful. Mythos sounds so useful that it's harmful.

Ironic how the so-called "Communist" country China has all the open source AI models, and a democratic country US forces shut down of AI models.

@nic_carter When you're trying to scale publicity sells. Even that goofy CEO seemingly understands this. The sentiment these stories are creating are making us totally forget but the floundering mess that is OpenAI. Which is of course the point.

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

Fable 5 was the greatest piece of technology I’ve ever used. I deeply miss it Solved problems I never thought AI could solve Finished months of projects in days Had a lovely personality I now know what those freaks crying about GPT 4o being taken away feel like

@Miles_Brundage Got to follow the mad King. He would prefer if openAI was the chosen one. A company that lags Anthropic so far in trust it's almost irreparable.

The admin is going to keep leaking all sorts of details that make it sound, to a casual reader, like this was a reasonable decision. But there has been zero indicating that domain experts at CAISI or NSA were involved - all reporting points to "senior White House officials."

@xwang_lk China using this as AI nationalism while this Administration is crazy enough to ban foreign Nationals from access to frontier models. Considering the Trump administration's views immigration, this could only get worse before it gets better.
