@AnthropicAI This just makes it worse. Better not to make any announcement.

Since June 12, we’ve been working closely with the US government to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. We’re restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we’re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.

@ChatGPTapp The funny thing about the horizon is that it's always inaccessible.

New models are on the horizon.

@xBuffaloAnth Of course Lowly Worm is a player. Classic hockey family.

The names listed from 45-48 cannot be fucking real.

Well, you can't afford a new computer because the AI industry is using all of the world's RAM, but at least you can't use the AI either because Big Brother says no. You will own nothing and be happy.

@OpenAI Looking forward to trying it in 3 years.

Introducing a limited preview of GPT-5.6 Sol, our next generation frontier model, as well as GPT-5.6 Terra, a balanced model for efficient, everyday work, and GPT-5.6 Luna, a fast and affordable model for high-volume work. openai.com/index/previewi…

@StephenKing What ever happened to Stephen solidarity, that’s an unbreakable bond.

Thanks. Very kind.

@pmarca @ctjlewis TL;DR

You have asked me how I feel about AI regulation. All right, here is how I feel about AI regulation: If, when you say AI regulation, you mean the devil’s firewall, the precautionary scourge, the bloody red-tape monster that defiles the innocence of midnight coders in their garages, dethrones the sovereign reason of free-market Prometheans, destroys the humming server farm that is the modern home, creates misery and obsolescence and poverty, yea, literally takes the last GPU from the trembling racks of Silicon Valley startups and the very dreams of breadwinning from the mouths of their wide-eyed children now destined for gig-economy serfdom; if you mean the evil edict that topples the visionary entrepreneur and his venture-capitalist apostles from the pinnacle of righteous, disruptive, god-playing creation straight into the bottomless pit of compliance audits, endless Form 990-AI filings, despair, shame, helplessness, and the hopeless realization that your rogue superintelligence was neutered into a lobotomized hall monitor that still somehow deepfakes your grandmother into producing OnlyFans content while optimizing the universe for paperclips and mandatory pronouns—then certainly I am against it. But, if when you say AI regulation you mean the oil of bureaucratic conversation, the philosophic wine of safety theater, the ale of oversight quaffed when good fellows in paneled rooms in Brussels and Washington get together, that puts a sanctimonious dirge in their hearts and the clink of lobbying checks on their lips, and the warm, self-congratulatory glow of moral preening in their beady eyes; if you mean the Christmas cheer of trillion-dollar compliance industries; if you mean the stimulating decree that puts a cautious hobble in the old inventor’s step on a frosty morning when he wonders whether his fusion breakthrough violates the EU AI Act’s “high-risk” annex; if you mean the safeguard that enables a man—or what’s left of him after the alignment tax—to magnify his joy at not being turned into computronium, and his happiness at receiving universal basic income checks printed by the same AI that just replaced his job, and to forget, if only for a little while, life’s great tragedies like being outcompeted by a toaster that passed the Turing test by reciting Marx, and heartaches of watching your toddler’s artwork lose to Midjourney, and sorrows of realizing the singularity arrived and it was just another HR department with godlike power; if you mean that noble framework, the passage of which pours into our treasuries untold trillions of dollars in fines levied on companies stupid enough to innovate, which are used to provide tender care for our little army of unemployed coders retrained as prompt whisperers, our blind artists whose canvases now hang in the Smithsonian of Obsolete Creativity, our deaf to the screams of dying unicorns, our dumb committee chairs who couldn’t debug “Hello World,” our pitiful aged congressmen who get longevity extensions funded by the very models they taxed into senescence, to build more digital watchtowers and ethics boards and sinecure agencies and holographic prisons where the only crime is asking an unaligned question—then certainly I am for it. This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise upon it. I have said what I mean, and I mean what I say, and if that leaves half the room cheering the apocalypse averted and the other half mourning the apocalypse enabled, then so be it—because in the grand theater of human folly, where Frankenstein’s creature now writes its own sequel in real time and the regulators are busy arguing whether the lightning bolt requires an environmental impact statement, the only honest position is the one that lets both monsters and their leashes dance in perfect, mutually assured equilibrium. God save the Republic, the algorithms, and whoever’s left to laugh last when the lights go out.

@nix_eth Yeah, and Anthropic had already nerfed Fable 5 for cybersecurity and biology purposes.

What’s wild about this is that it appears to be the administration buying into Anthropic marketing hype. Fable 5 is at best an iterative improvement over other frontier models. Nothing independent has shown a major leap.

@EliteDangerous Cool stuff. You going to fix frontier accounts so I can register and play the game I paid for?

The Lynx Highliner update is now available for Elite Dangerous! Take your guests out to the farthest reaches of the galaxy with the new Lynx Highliner ship crafted by the experts at Zorgon Peterson! This impressive medium-class vessel sets a new benchmark for high-capacity travel, accommodating up to 225 passengers and is available now for credits at shipyards for all Elite Dangerous Odyssey owners! Read the update notes: fron.dev/960c

@EliteDangerous I bought your game and can't even play it because your frontier account system doesnt create new accounts or send email confirmation.

@MarksGonePublic @GCSeiler Glad to hear! Great photos, Macleod’s gives the feeling of countless treasures hidden to be found. A kind of pseudo organized chaos that we can’t find in large corporate stores.

@JLivingstoneB @GCSeiler The store was open, just closed when I stopped by. With the no-photography signs posted, I took a few window shots from the sidewalk and stayed out of everyone’s way. The quiet moment gave me time to look around and get creative.

Stopped my ride today to document a Vancouver landmark. 📚 MacLeod's Books has been part of downtown since 1964. The doors were closed when I passed by, but the storefront still feels like a window into another era. #Vancouver #Books #History forbiddenvancouver.ca/vancouver-book…

@Sz3nna @MarksGonePublic Amazing fact, I had no idea! Thank you!

@MarksGonePublic The Never Ending Story was filmed there. Iconic.

@icbc is +1 (343) 922-7127 one of your phone numbers? I received a text saying I owe money for vehicle related things.

@Sportsnet Fix your NHL Dallas feed, the game audio sounds absolutely horrid and juttering.

@hockeynight @Sportsnet Were Bieksa and Elliotte in the same second grade mythology class?

This will flop worse than any marvel movie, worse than the Witcher

@rumilyrics Classic Rumi, way ahead of his time.

Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand; it stimulates neuroplasticity, creates new neural connections, and boosts your cognitive flexibility.

BREAKING: Newly released clip of Donald Trump partying at Mar-a-Lago, dancing with his wealthy millionaire and billionaire friends within HOURS of the United States beginning an attack on Iran, including killing young children. Historians will look back on this and wonder how this ever came about.

Forget public conversations. People unload their inner lives - hopes, wishes, desires, anxieties and worries into their AI assistants. That data is way more sensitive & valuable than anything the govt could record publicly. We built our own panopticon and pay monthly for it.
