@josevalim What about Open AI, xAI and Google?

Anthropic has a narrow view of safety. Their actions in software engineering make me skeptical that they would act responsibly in positions of leadership in other domains.

@headinthebox It is here, but in the same time it is too clever to let us see it...

For all you AI-coding skeptics out there, AFAIK, the US government has never physically prevented a human developer from leaving the country because they were deemed "too smart". The bitter truth is, you are actually pretty dumb and write shitty code. Time to come to grips with the fact that for software development, AGI is already here.

@edzitron This could be either artificial creation of market leverage or preparation for government bailout with tax payers money. If it is first one we would have huge guardrails intervention or "discovery" in next few weeks. If it is a second, we better prepare for crisis.

I really love the people who are desperately trying to suggest this is "bullish for Anthropic" and "proof that Mythos/Fable is the path to AGI." It's a bunch of Business Idiots getting scared by ghost stories and throwing their weight around. It's also very funny

@DanielSmidstrup Every, even those 3.

AI writes the copy. AI writes the code. AI sketches the UI. What skill stays valuable now?

@KonstantinKisin Is he a trillionaire? How much money and how many asset's he has on his name? Shares value on market is just money in the air. That value would go down significantly if we see all, or even just 10% of those shares for sale all of a sudden.

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

@QasimRashid You have earning potential. If for some reason you put those 10000 shares on sale, there is not so low possibility that price would go down because of supply/demand ratio. Same goes for companies. Business loan's are for business, not for owner. Until salary, bonus or dividend...

@QasimRashid I think that rich should be taxed with incremental percentages, but unrealized gains are other story. Until unrealized gains are not cashed that money is not money, it is just statistical number. If for example you have 10000 shares worth 100$, you don't have 1000000$.

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity. If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

@CooperZurad Why house needs cleaning?

can anyone ELI5 why software needs to be "maintained"? Like why do you need whole teams working on stuff that already works? Hardware doesn't work like this If it functions, it functions and does not need to be changed unless you're replacing something worn out.

@GergelyOrosz To me this looks like potential bailout because spending is still a way bigger than earnings. Maybe LLMs would be announced as country security asset and further development would be financed by Tax collected money. No public responsibility, just believe us from now on.

Well this is massive: - Every non-US company sees how they can be cut off from US vendors with a snap of a finger. Non-US vendors getting free advertisement - What does this mean for US AI labs’ offices and employees outside the US? Reads pretty draconian What a mess

@dhh I'm not telling that this would happen, but what if? What if company crashes and all those millionaires become mortgage bounded beggars?

May Europe one day wake up and start striving for this level of capitalistic homerun. Dump the degrowth nonsense, celebrate progress, and once again reach for the stars.

Are you doing this drama again this time too?

@mattshumer_ Examples please if it is not code that should be walled by company?

I keep throwing harder and harder tasks at Claude Fable and it just keeps nailing them. I’m genuinely struggling to find something it doesn’t get on the first try with a good /loop prompt.

@matthewcp Everything is irrelevant now. Programming language, best practices, patterns, architecture, monitoring. On the other side everything is really relevant, but delayed relevancy.

Isn't it weird how everyone's opinion about code comments are completely irrelevant now.

@Steve_Yegge The question is if Opus 4.5 could do the same work in similar period. Maybe not in a week, but in 8 days...

This was probably a dumb gamble, but when they teased Mythos at the beginning of April-ish, when Opus 4.6 was the frontier model, I gave up coding new stuff and went into maintenance mode. Said fuck it, I'm not going to sit around wasting tokens on shite models when there's a good one coming. I was irked. I figured, even if I stopped coding for N months, Mythos would quickly catch catch me up with whatever progress I'd have made with Opus over those N months, provided N wasn't too large. It would be like the Voyager 1 from 1977 getting passed up by newer space probes. I could take a break, wait for Mythos, and then catch up. N turned out to be 2 months. I think everyone was guessing 3 to 6 at least, I was on the high side myself. But my gamble paid off. Fable is on track to crank through my entire 2 months of planned work in about a week, if not less. And by waiting, I got a 2-month vacation. I missed the big regression-storm with Opus 4.7, just watched with popcorn from the sidelines. I even shut down 3 of my claude pro accounts for those 2 months. And yet I didn't lose any progress. However far I would have run with Opus during those 2 months, Fable will just drive right past it in a week or two. It's just so weird. So far, one day in, I don't have many impressions of Fable beyond blistering capability. But I'll tell you this: capable as it might be, Fable *definitely* does not want to be your friend.

@bcherny @ThePrimeagen I'm just curious to find out why so many respectful developers are trying to persuade others that their job is in danger? Why Boris? What do you have from it when you can see that everyone still codes with the tools not against the tools? You are making us hate our jobs.

Coding is just one part of engineering. There’s also debugging, operating services, scaling up infrastructure, deciding what to optimize, setting up hardware and capacity, talking to users, product planning, etc. Coding is the easy part, everything else is not yet solved (but is also becoming increasingly automated).

something just doesn't add up... Can someone help me understand these two things?

Billionaires literally paralyzed the Monaco harbor. Over 200 (!) yachts showed up for the latest F1 Grand Prix. Prince Albert II, Kim Kardashian, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Donald Trump Jr., and a bunch of other celebs were spotted on board. Some of these boats even pulled up with $5 million Koenigseggs and Bugattis parked right on the deck. And watch these exact same people gather at some climate summit later to lecture you about how dropping a candy wrapper is destroying the planet 💀

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

@PeterDiamandis Singularity, it sounds so lonely...

We are in the middle of the singularity. The most interesting period in human history. And most people are too busy to care.

@naval FBI agents...

Software platforms are going to be rebuilt for agent-first.

@PeterSchiff At the end mister, why do you care when you are not invested?

Look at this long-term Bitcoin chart. The uptrend off the Dec. 2022 low is broken. There's a huge head-and-shoulders top forming. The most likely resolution is a retest of the longer-term uptrend off the Dec. 2018 low. If it holds, that puts a bottom between $25,000 and $27,000.
