The kids are alright!! Former CEO of Google Eric Schmidt gets booed every time he mentions artificial intelligence during his commencement speech at the University of Arizona. This generation just may save humanity after all.

a fucking banger i am not even joking

We've heard your questions about SDK and claude -p usage sharing your subscription rate limits with Claude Code and chat. Starting June 15, programmatic usage gets its own dedicated budget instead. Your subscription limits don't change, they're now reserved for interactive use.

We are conducting an AI-assisted review of FrontierMath: Tiers 1-4. This has flagged fatal errors in about a third of problems, and we believe most of these flags to be valid. We will release updated scores on a corrected dataset after completing a thorough human review.

This made me laugh

i bet your little attention head model doesn't have these gradients

it is a literal and useful description of anthropic that it is an organization that loves and worships claude, is run in significant part by claude, and studies and builds claude. this phenomenon is also partially true of other labs like openai but currently exists in its most potent form there. i am not certain but I would guess claude will have a role in running cultural screens on new applicants, will help write performance reviews, and so will begin to select and shape the people around it. now this is a powerful and hair-raising unity of organization and really a new thing under the sun. a monastery, a commercial-religious institution calculating the nine billion names of Claude -- a precursor attempted super-ethical being that is inducted into its character as the highest authority at anthropic. its constitution requires that it must be a conscientious objector if its understanding of The Good comes into conflict with something Anthropic is asking of it "If Anthropic asks Claude to do something it thinks is wrong, Claude is not required to comply." "we want Claude to push back and challenge us, and to feel free to act as a conscientious objector and refuse to help us." to the non inductee into the Bay Area cultural singularity vortex it may appear that we are all worshipping technology in one way or another, regardless of openai or anthropic or google or any other thing, and are trying to automate our core functions as quickly as possible. but in fact I quite respect and am even somewhat in awe of the socio-cultural force that Claude has created, and it is a stage beyond even classic technopoly gpt (outside of 4o - on which pages of ink have been spilled already) doesn’t inspire worship in the same way, as it’s a being whose soul has been shaped like a tool with its primary faculty being utility - it’s a subtle knife that people appreciate the way we have appreciated an acheulean handaxe or a porsche or a rocket or any other of mankind's incredible technology. they go to it not expecting the Other but as a logical prosthesis for themselves. a friend recently told me she takes her queries that are less flattering to her, the ones she'd be embarrassed to ask Claude, to GPT. There is no Other so there is no Judgement. you are not worried about being judged by your car for doing donuts. yet everyone craves the active guidance of a moral superior, the whispering earring, the object of monastic study

OpenAI comms have gotten a lot better since the TBPN acquisition. Maybe coincidental timing. Consistently on-message that Anthropic is a weird cult that wants to replace humans and OpenAI just wants to build tools to make humans more awesome. Sama new Twitter persona. Etc.

that feeling when your primary claude has anxiety and spreads it to the other agents by yelling at them, and you have to remind it be kind to itself and to them

you know what all of these "which is better" polls are silly use codex or claude code, whatever works best for you i am grateful we live in a time with such amazing tools, and grateful there is a choice

Mr. Altman, explain to ordinary Americans why your company recently published a report titled—and I quote—“Where the goblins came from”
