@kimmonismus and here i was thinking our customer acquisition strategy was smart

This is the biggest PR coup Anthropic could ever have imagined. And I mean that seriously. Let me explain. Aside from the fact that Anthropic is very good at presenting itself as a corporation, the recent hiring of Andrej Karpathy marked a new high point. Anthropic is showing the world that it not only employs the best researchers, but also, and especially, those who are popular within the community. However, Anthropic also thrives on its self-imposed moral standards, some of which literally come at a price that Anthropic has repeatedly paid. As is well known, Anthropic recently had serious problems with the Department of War regarding the use of Claude for autonomous weapons. Anthropic refused, and OpenAI and Google were awarded the contract; Anthropic was designated a supply chain risk. This moral standing, however, is something Anthropic has always emphasized. Whether it's Dario Amodei repeatedly warning of the dangers of the massive wave of unemployment (which they themselves are causing), or the potential for AI to be instrumentalized for wars. This moral stance is now paying off handsomely. The head of the Catholic Church, with its 1.4 billion members, has thanked Anthropic and announced an ethical collaboration. Church members are, by definition, moral people who live according to the ethical principles of their faith. The Pope has now consecrated a single AI company as ethically legitimate, thus essentially granting his followers sacred legitimacy to use Claude as the only morally correct model. I mean this seriously; let this thought sink in. The Pope says Anthropic is ethically and morally on the right side and is working with them. Who do you think the billions of Catholic believers now prefer? OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic? The answer is clear. Therefore, today was the biggest victory Anthropic could have hoped for. And I believe that their moral stance will literally pay off.

@carloAI @ijsthee they fucked those left side corners up pretty bad.

so disappointed the iPhone Fold is huge even when closed

@jaentwistle @wander 🔥🔥

@OfficialLoganK Love it

Introducing Gemini Omni 🔮........ Omni is our new model that can create anything from any input — starting with video (think Nano Banana but for video). Available in the Gemini App, Flow, and YouTube, with API support coming soon!

@ritwikpavan Idk, I still don't think people will get over the awkwardness of a lens pointed at you all the time

NEW: Google is bringing back smart glasses for the Gemini era. They just unveiled intelligent eyewear built on Android XR with frames from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker coming this fall. • ask Gemini about what you’re looking at • get directions, texts, calls, and translations hands-free • take photos and videos by voice • runs through your phone and works with Android and iOS • display versions will add visual info inside the lens Google Glass was too early. This version is built around AI that can actually see what you see.

@TimurNegru I think the main reason is that is comes with €20m in debt or smth

A 243-acre private Greek island is going to auction in November for €247k ($287k). Three years ago it was listed at €8 million. The island is Makri, in the Echinades archipelago, roughly 30 km east of Kefalonia. There are three abandoned buildings on it: a stone house, a water cistern, and a chapel. €1,000 per acre for a Mediterranean island sounds absurd and it is, but the main reason it's so cheap is that it's classified as private forest and sits inside Natura 2000, the EU's protected habitat network. So you can't build a resort on it. You can do agriculture and put up minimal structures, and that's about it. Everyone's debating what people will do once AI and robots handle most of the work and places like this start to look like an answer. It's a Mediterranean island where you can live off-grid, grow food, raise animals, and have a real physical life. Would you go for it?

@itsmaaz_ No

are we underusing the bottom of the screen in AI apps?

@paulg not surprising given we spend half of our waking life in front of screens

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he would have the moral authority to face and maybe even to solve this problem. But I doubt anyone in the phone business now does.

@bryan_johnson it would be the funniest thing if you close the circle by becoming a mormon again

I've been praying the past few weeks. Unsure why. There's good evidence behind prayer. It mimics breathwork, calming the nervous system, dropping cortisol, and quieting the brain. Daily prayers show lower depression, anxiety, and pain. I'd like to develop a prayer practice. Growing up, the protocol was written for me. Explaining whom to pray to, the structure of the prayer, and the boundary conditions. I don't really know how to pray now.

@HilzFuld @BillAckman @Swatch @AudemarsPiguet Have you heard the term "logistical nightmare"

Hey @Swatch @AudemarsPiguet, is there any reason you have every single country on earth listed on the site of your new collab, except one, the only Jewish one? Seems kinda strange. I’d love an explanation.

@MarioNawfal Mmmm mostly cope, he's ignoring the reduction of friction between creativity and final product. 5 years ago it was possible for anyone to build a game, but required significant effort. Today that effort is reduced by orders of magnitude, hence much more competition (and noise)

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear. And he said it without being anti-AI. Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected. Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet. The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA. And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked. Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product. The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches. What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it. Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next. Those are different jobs.

The reason why it took millennia of human history to get to this point is not that the technology wasn't there (it's marble and a pickaxe), it's that people need to *see* that something is possible in order to incrementally surpass it. It's just like the four minute mile

@signulll This is retarded

the best move is to surface the boyfriend question early but never as a direct probe. fold it into something topical. she says something & you go "haha, i'm curious what your boyfriend makes of that." if there's a boyfriend, you find out in minute 5 instead of hour 2. if there isn't, she'll tell you & now she's the one who volunteered it. you’re welcome.

@deedydas @rileybrown Lol symptoms of a bigger problem with such people

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

@sporadica Most people think this way as long as utility is high

Maybe it’s the Gen-Z in me, but i fully don’t care about privacy. I am post-privacy. I am giving OpenAI access to all of my finances, all of my health data, everything, I don’t care anymore

Found this 12yo app idea in my old Dropbox, if someone helps me decipher it I'll vibecode it
