Anthropic: “Fable is an agentic coding superweapon, capable of developing cyber- and bio-weapons at unprecedented speed and scale. We cannot in good faith release it without guardrails.” China: “lmao here’s Fable but open-source. Good fkn luck”







Looking to speak to a legal expert on the Online Safety Act urgently (ideally this morning) on the looming 4Chan/Ofcom fine deadline and what happens next. Please email nicole.wootton-cane@independent.co.uk if you can help. Thank you!

Physically playing an instrument remains my greatest enabler - even with my keyboard skills bit rusty/limited Here is a clip from last Saturday's live-stream, where I just add a very simple basic electronic arpeggio idea to try in the piece being created. I can't really imagine doing it as quickly with a sequencer or arpeggiator, (speaking from experience) particularly considering the dimension of velocity, expression, and the variations I might choose as I feel my way through it. I'll never use AI to compose music, but I imagine even typing a prompt for it to "predict a pattern" would take longer and likely need much tweaking, and post editing to get it to approximate as I feel it. I'd much rather not surrender the most enjoyable aspect of the work. Plus I get the added benefit of bumps and mistakes along the way, which sometimes give me more opportunity to discover directions. Plus the tactile feedback in the express<->experience loop. Musical instruments, as a user interface, have a bandwidth for conveying human expressive nuance like nothing else - except perhaps the human voice.









Discord is beginning to implement Incode for age verification, a move that is already sparking serious privacy concerns among users. While Discord claims that Incode processes biometric data locally via on-device AI without permanent server-side logging, sharing sensitive IDs and selfies with any third-party vendor remains a massive red flag for many. Given Incode's controversial history with platforms like TikTok, where the vendor was heavily criticized for long retention periods and storing biometric data server-side, users who expect strict privacy are highly skeptical about handing over their biometrics, regardless of Discord's current technology claims.

Discord has started rolling out Incode for age verification. The system requires users to submit a government-issued ID and a selfie to confirm their age. According to Discord, Incode processes biometric data locally on the user’s device using on-device AI and does not permanently store that biometric data on its servers. Even so, the process requires users to share sensitive personal information with a third-party company. Via:@WumpusCentral
