@Andercot We have @drmichaellevin 😬

Think of the opportunity cost of not having an admirable and gracious scientific public persona We used to have Carl Sagan Richard Feynman Albert Einstein Niels Bohr Charles Oppenheimer World class physicists for the better part of a century were international statesmen, their opinions sought out on world affairs, they were national heroes, celebrity and fame came with it and they used their voice to advocate for peace, diplomacy, humanitarian causes, scientific advances and funding. This generation we have "bong rip" charlatans that basically spew nonsense, arrogant buffoons, obnoxious and insecure and insufferable all at once. There is basically a vanishing minority of physicists even approaching the mandate of what institutional science should be in society - counterweight to commerce and politics, rational and balanced, the voice of reason. If you want to reduce society to Luddite superstitions, incapable of sophisticated analysis or reasoning, all you need to do is make the voice of science an arrogant buffoon, an insufferable fucking loser.

@jxnlco Does this mean we’re not getting 5.6?

"You're allowed to think about the worst case scenario, but you gotta do something about it"

Since Anthropic’s previous model names, Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, followed a poetic theme, here’s some fun speculation about the name behind Fable 5: Did you know that Claude Barbin was Jean de La Fontaine’s bookseller and publisher of Book X, which includes Fable 5? The fable is about a wolf having difficulty distinguishing true virtue from hypocrisy, and recognizes the asymmetry in who gets condemned. The fable mentions “Thibaut the little lamb,” which is not a random name chosen by La Fontaine, but rather a literary allusion to Thibaut l’Agnelet from La Farce de Maître Pathelin, where he is a shepherd. A contemporary interpretation points to @tibo (Thibault). The fable mentions Jupiter, and since this model was released on June 9th (9/6 if inverted per French dating format) it points to Book 9, Fable 6, which is a story about a sculptor who buys a block of marble and decides to carve a god who will become “the master of the earth.” He creates Jupiter, the god of thunder, so convincingly real that the statue “seems to lack only speech.” But in the end, the sculptor becomes afraid of the statue he made. Mythos in Ancient Greek means speech. It’s also the word used to describe an Athenian tragedy’s plot as the deliberate arrangement of the incidents.

I hope y’all get mogged by OpenAI

turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.

The World Is Yours

Ce n’était rien qu'un peu de miel, Mais il m’avait chauffé le corps, Et dans mon âme, il brûle encore, À la manière d'un grand soleil.

Can y’all please ban these horse carriages, it’s not the 1800s anymore @nick_benson @NYCCouncil @SpeakerMenin @NYCMayor @nycdistrict1 @ZohranKMamdani

@jonnygerow Anytime I see this sort of stuff I get goosebumps from remembering that one time I forgot to discharge a capacitor and got the shock of my life

Just a friendly reminder... If an unplugged power supply has enough energy to light a light bulb, the capacitors definitely hold enough of a charge to kill you.

@Dimillian I don’t ask like 90% of the time, it just does automatically

Do you actually use the Codex Desktop app git UI or do you ask the model to commit and push on your behalf?

@alexadelman Unfortunately I learned this the hard way

the bikes in nyc are nothing short of electric

@abraibrai @jxnlco @thsottiaux @OpenAIDevs Sick, thank you! 😁

@alchemistocrat @jxnlco @thsottiaux @OpenAIDevs Hey! Fixing the emails being sent now, thanks for flagging!

Referral emails aren’t being sent out btw, really cool and kind of y’all though thank you! @jxnlco @thsottiaux @OpenAIDevs

@_philschmid Ideally you should optimize the harness for the harness

My personal research question for today: Should we optimize the model for a harness or should the harness be optimized for the model?
