A few months ago I was curious to know how much Anna's Archive was charging AI developers for access to their massive library of pirated works for training - so I emailed them saying I was interested in buying access. Here is their reply. They are charging $200,000 (payable via crypto, of course). You get high-speed access to the full collection. This includes more than 60 million books. (This is also the group that recently stole Spotify's entire music catalog, so expect this to be available to high rollers too.) This is the collection Nvidia is accused of accessing for training. Training on pirated works is rife in the AI industry. It's been embraced by some of the biggest AI companies in their greed-fuelled race to win the AI market. When they claim what they're doing is somehow fair, remember that not only is it theft (which is bad enough) - it supports further theft by funding pirates. We desperately need a hard reset in the AI industry. It must turn away from theft, and start paying the people whose work it relies on.

This is some of the craziest stuff you can make with AI right now. All powered by the new LTX Audio to Video. Everything you need to know is down below 👇

"Software Engineering Will Be Automatable in 12 Months," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts that AI models will be able to do 'most, maybe all' of what software engineers do end-to-end within 6 to 12 months, shifting engineers to editors.

It's funny how radically the behavior of humans changes when you hold them accountable for what the LLMs generate.

I took Opus 4.5 Max Mode for the ultimate test. I asked it to search my code base for bugs I took a lot of pride in this code, all hand rolled, by the sweat of my brow. It was mine and it was good. Claude found 15 bugs I was devastated So I went to the first bug, and asked for a unit test. It produced a unit test in mere moments. I ran the tests and saw it. A broken test. Property test of undefined. Rookie error Ashamed, but determined I set forth to fix these bugs as penance. So I cracked open nvim getting ready to edit this typescript script But... The code seemed correct. Weird. So I checked the test, Claude faked bad data. The setup could never happen Wtf It's a lie, the whole thing. I checked every bug Claude found. Every line item was not a bug. Everyone of them just some condition that cannot exist due to asserts or previous if statements What an amazing $3s and 20 minutes spent Normally when I waste time at least I learn something

🚨Pics from North Minneapolis last night where rioters destroyed federal vehicles and stole firearms, ammunition and sensitive documents inside. All captured on livestreams.

Some fun facts: 1. The Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by 17 different presidents. 2. In fact, 37% of American presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act. 3. It was invoked to deal with rebellions and uprisings. What are rebellions and uprisings? Examples: - Armed groups openly defied federal law - State or local authorities could not or would not enforce federal law - Violence or organized resistance threatened the authority of the federal government - Courts were blocked, taxes couldn’t be collected, or officials were attacked Look I just described Minnesota.
