    Only if you don’t think about it for more than two or three seconds. Then you remember deepfake revenge porn and elon musk style child sexual material.

    Claude is about the least spendy thing a software engineer can use. If you can't afford $200 a month, you're probably not working professionally (which is ok, no value judgement, b…

    what plan are your 'fellow software engineers' using? I have a hard time even using up the Fable part of my allowance in a week of coding.

    the right to free speech has nothing to do with what social media companies do. Social media companies are not compelled by anything, in law or otherwise, to amplify your particula…

    As an example, I had a headless devuan instance that took an extra ~50s to ssh to today, repeatably. Checked to see if it was DNS -- wasn't DNS. Checked to see if it was misconfigu…

    Do you mean something like the longstanding Government Accountability Office, which was formed by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921?

    you know what's even worse than slop? Zero-effort 'is this maybe slop can someone tell me' posting.

    You don't have to 'hear' anything. If you watch the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNbHlmZVmAw for example (0:55), you see that the tires are turned completely away from th…

    You're going to have to show your work on that one. Western democracies are suffering not because they are failing, but because they have been chipped away at for decades by fanati…

    Claude has been involved in the planning of a war crime, for sure. But 'Anthropic has had zero issue with it' is an unfounded assertion that you are making up. Fielding a fully aut…

    it's a pretty ridiculous stretch to attribute them thinking that OpenAI wasn't taking safety seriously enough (which is, among other things, a little bit evident from the fact that…

    They literally do -- see above, where the red line they refused to cross involved fully autonomous kill bots (which would be a war crime), and for which they were branded a supply …

    Use nuance and judgement, friend. Anthropic notably pushed back on completely autonomous no-human-in-the-loop drone killings and mass surveillance of the US population, where other…

    the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if Anthropic was ordered to sell to Larry Ellison.

    Fable will do this itself, by spawning Opus/Sonnet subagents to do easy work.

    definitely not in my experience. I usually write distributed systems and back end code, and Fable is so much better at those than Codex that it's not even a comparison. Fable feels…

    In my experience writing about 50 programs with fable, opus, and GPT, fable is a significant step change better than opus which is significantly better than GPT. We must be doing d…

    You said these groups have access to LLMs. So what? Mythos/Fable are a step change above most LLMs. Responsibly limiting access and easing it up over time safely is the sane move.
