@fuckyouiquit Breaking: worker values their time

Doesn’t affect me… but @Revolut doing this on the night AND time of the football (while there are extended opening hours for pubs for the game) is TERRIBLE planning.

Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market. Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price. How it works 👇

This is exactly why I am so insane about transparency. It just tells you it can't optimize it further, and then all of a sudden it can

@pyvrma @MiniMax_AI I mean not really. They could easily add a white border/a logo variant that works in either theme mode. the majority of devs use dark mode now.

@LewisNWatson @MiniMax_AI There's nothing to fix there. It's just huggingface

M3 would never 🙂‍↔️ As a matter of fact, the weights are now open, too. huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/Mini…

Nazis flee as 10,000 anti-fascists reclaim our streets. So proud of our anti-fascist city today!

Fantastic feeling seeing the Nazis who marched through the streets on Tuesday, beating up non-white people and who tried to march on Glasgow central mosque now surrounded by at least 5000 anti-racists. Glasgow is anti-fascist. Fuck off nazi scum.

Two months ago on @corememory, @sama called out Anthropic's "fear based marketing" (wrt mythos/Fable) and their intent to gatekeep AI This week alone, Dario has gone on record repeatedly about wanting to slow AI progress Anthropic silently degraded AI-research queries to Fable (they changed course on this, but they still thought it was a good idea) And now that the government is taking them at their word, they're trying to drag GPT-5.5 and OpenAI down with them Yes, the administration is being heavy-handed, but unfortunatley it's the logical end of telling everyone you built a "nuke" and that it's possible for people to use it against us All I'll say is I think it's possible for an institution to both be filled with good people and misaligned. It's not mutually exclusive Sam saw this in April.

Once again - this CANNOT be put on drivers. Firms need to be legally responsible for the FULL costs of damage AND train delays. Given this can quickly run into the millions, the threat of a bridge strike resulting in total bankruptcy might help them take it seriously.

@tafphorisms emdash existed LONG before AI 😭

I’m losing my mind people don’t see it

@alanchanguk There’s not a single even close to competitive model from the uk…

The Fable export ban is a watershed moment for the UK

this is not a good sign.. the US government is making two mistakes here: 1. using "foreign national" as the criteria to gate the model is just not very smart. it's clearly not enforceable in practice and would obviously lead to a wide ban. and it's also pretty useless - there are plenty of americans more hostile towards the US than foreigners.. and it's also easy to bypass by people with real malicious intent 2. based on anthropic's post, the government clearly did not collaborate with anthropic to deeply understand the vulnerability before ordering the shutdown. this feels like a panic from people who simply don't understand what's going on my prediction is the model access will recover early next week once the government get their sh*t together i would not dunk on anthropic for this shutdown here. they worked hard on this release and it's a good model. they did a lot more on safety (i'd even say too much) than others. perhaps their "model is too dangerous" narrative is backfiring but still i think this shutdown is saying more about the government than anthropic

@kunchenguid hard agree

none of this happens if they called it opus 5 and didn’t engage in the day 0 propaganda

@scottpreston @varrock they wouldn’t have said GPT5.5 is similar intelligence in their statement if it was just that. it’s great marketing for them tho.

@varrock There’s a possibility this is just marketing

There is a possibility that you will ever use model as smart as fable5 ever again

@varrock china will open source one in a week, watch this space
