when studying mathematics and computer science i would handwrite algorithms, draw all psuedocode on paper first, and reconstruct steps from published papers, all extremely useful

it's a graphic example but illustrative of his point about autonomy/agency versus top-down dictated centralization

is firing staff after acquisition inherently bad if it's the same staff/management that led to the app being devalued and losing users in the first place though

she was probably remembering everything and using it as strategic office gossip anyway, same idea

don't conflate anti-specific corporation with anti-american, that's what they want from you

they might as well not released it at all, what's the point of this theater and artificial scarcity

No idea. But I will switch to OpenAI if they release their Sol model on a subscription. And if neither of them do, I will switch to GLM 5.2.

This is what I’m thinking, too. OpenAI is gaining a structural advantage purely on the basis of not being considered an enemy of the administration. Anthropic really blew it with Washington.

By "blew it with Washington" you mean "Didn't donate millions to the ballroom."

They blew it by pretending to take some sort of moral high ground while their model was being used in Iran to blow up schools. I say they get what they deserve. I would have a lot more respect for them if they banned Pentagon use of their models outright.

It's interesting that the fate of billions or even trillions of dollar hinges on millions of dollars of donations.

That is what corruption usually looks like

Yes. And as the saying goes: the scandal is not that you can buy politicians, the scandal is that they are so cheap.

It doesn't look like it; similar restrictions apply to GPT-5.6 as used to apply to Fable.

I think the Fable ban happened because Anthropic was first to release a capable enough model.

i don’t think 5.6 will be as good as fable. their benchmark graphs say so, maybe they’ll take some limiters off next week or something now that being Fable tier isn’t scary anymore.

It will likely be GLM 5.3 by then

Perhaps the 9,999 fields other than computer technician will appreciate it?

They needed to have administration insiders on their team months if not years ago, not just now

OpenAI, Meta, SpaceX are savvy enough to play ball, but Anthropic's public posturing and government affairs has always seemed too aloof and intellectual

To be fair to Anthropic for a moment (not that they deserve it), but requiring administration insiders and the greasing of palms going on should not continue to be the normal expectations of how to do business in the USA. I'm on the side of any company that refuses to capitulate to this administration. Not saying Anthropic doesn't (because they do), but let's not pretend like the blatant corruption going on should be normalized. Every single citizen should be appalled at this behavior and blatant market manipulation.

yours included buddy

i like the aspect of engineering that's building useful or interesting or fun things for people, and i'll always experiment with new tech that facilitates that

don't be a square

I'm not, I promise
