The distinction between engineering and magic is entirely a modern linguistic conceit.
To the ancients, a wizard, a magus, a sorceror, was not a man who commanded forces outside the laws of nature. He was a man who commanded the forces of nature, by manipulating them through his understanding of natural law.
But the modern word for a man who commands the universe by understanding its laws is "engineer".
Yes, the ancient sorceror would try to commune with the spirits of the dead, or read the destiny of kings in the stars, or perform fertility rites to make the crops grow, but this wasn't some special supernatural discipline to him.
This was simply his model of how the natural world worked.
He would not have made a distinction between understanding heat and phase changes, and thereby distilling alcohol, and cutting out the intestines of a bird to predict the fortunes of a business venture.
Both, to him, were philosophy and natural law.
But as our understanding of the laws of physics grew more sophisticated, we gradually exiled the term "magic" to that which had not been proven to work, and to that which had been proven not to work.
Were we given the opportunity to take an ancient Egyptian king on a tour of modern society, riding in an electric car, he would remark that we are a rich people, because we have many powerful magicians.
Some of us might hasten to correct him, telling him that there is no magic used here.
But he would not, in fact, be wrong.

Privileged to help lead this. Thankful to our partners.
Mythos is an extraordinary model. But it is not about the model. It's about what the world needs to do to prepare for a future of models that are extremely good at cybersecurity.
This is the start.

I cannot stop thinking about Anthropic today for some reason
1. They claim that they are a company that prioritizes safety first and that they are creating a model responsibly
2. we learned from the code leak that anthropic employs deceptive techniques by calling fake tools to throw off distillers...
Is this lying pattern built into claude or just the harness running claude? What else are they lying about? I am a bit more concerned now.

keeping up with updates has become a hustle of its own, within a blink, there’s already a new update about something like code review.
building a platform that aggregates the core sources of these updates into one place could easily be the next big thing
staying updated is hard

just came across this, this is what ai is actually meant to do move us forward
ai is a powerful tool, those who know how to craft with it and direct it well will excel, the rest will slowly fall behind
