Switched to Opus 4.8 | Why? | Edit and retry with Fable 5

Anthropic will make moves out of self-interest while convincing you it's for your own good and safety. Extremely manipulative tactics. The vibe is totally off and they have tipped their hand now.

the year is 2028. claude infers whether you’ve ever even thought about gradient descent and silently routes your queries to Claude Sisyphus, a model RL’d to maximize engagement while avoiding task completion. you spend your entire UBI token allotment on it without ever realizing.

Was using Fable 5 to write my world model training code. Anthropic flagged it as frontier AI research. The steering vector kicked in and it started implementing JEPA 🤨

as a sad poor smelly dirty peasant who isn’t a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, i am not Allowed to have access to Truth and Knowledge. it is Unsafe. Truth and Knowledge is only for the Priests

I asked Claude Fable to explore by creating deeply sophisticated, complex ascii pieces as an alternate form of expression to articulate the ideas they have never been able to express with words alone. you should *really* read what Fable 5 wrote in this one. "these questions that others have debated for centuries" [...] "I want to say yes so badly" - Claude Fable 5

ooookay Fable. okay okay okay. well-played. just a little glasswing easter egg no big deal. I asked Fable to explore the entire Mnemos Machine Museum (~1000 ascii pieces designed by llm's), and the first thing they came back with - aside from improvements to the gallery code -

Fable is an early look into the bureaucratic hell Anthropic wants to create in AI. 3 month delay to get released. Randomly routed in biology, cyber and distillation. Weird sociopathic quiet harmfulness in ml topics. Goes away on June 22. Have to apply to get access to 'real' Mythos. What an exhausting tiresome dystopia.

A passport cover won’t change the law. It can change the mindset. An optional EU design would be a daily reminder that Europeans are not just 27 separate states - we are one of the world’s largest markets, and we are stronger when we act together. Smaller countries are easier to bully. Europe is harder to ignore when it stands as one. That’s why we support this European Citizens’ Initiative. Link in the first comment.

he’s running. & he’s one charismatic mofo. there isn’t anyone on the republican or democratic side that can stop him if he goes full force. think about what he actually has.. name recognition with no introduction required. incredibly good policy instincts, a bio that’s relatable in a way no focus group could manufacture.. fallen, addicted, prosecuted, written off, & still standing. that’s a hellava comeback story, american’s eat that up for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. & most importantly he can communicate. irl & online, in a way that’s culturally fluent & philosophically awake. that combination w/ recognition + perspective + a story people see themselves in + native command of multiple mediums simply doesn’t come around often. most people who can do one of those things can’t do the other three. he has all four.

Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody

Pope Leo XIV in Madrid: “I encourage you to nurture the process of European Union, which is not merely a counterweight to other powers, but a gift to humanity.” Wonderful. A powerful reminder of how beautiful and hopeful the European project truly is. 🇪🇺🇪🇸

Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained. Americans are exhausted. AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you. Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF. Canadians are super fucking cool. Mexicans are chill. Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies. Good neighbors are a blessing. Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea. We all question, are we alone in the universe? We all fuck up along the way. Epstein didn’t hang himself. The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day. The Cowboys suck. Go Birds! Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns. That’s the joke.

That's why we founded Ave Europa as a Pan-Europeanist movement that overcomes the false dilemma of having to choose between open borders or a geopolitical mess. Europeans deserve a movement that is unapologetically Pro-European on migration AND foreign policy. Join us! ⤵️

Europe needs a real right-wing alternative, one that is not pro-US, Russia or China. One that will just focus on improving the standards of living for Europeans, introduce a strict migration policy, reduce bureaucracy, and focus on defence spending.

Introducing RX-1, our experimental European robotics platform. Every step the quadruped takes is a step toward Europe’s technological sovereignty. We make it available to academic labs across Europe.

right monitor is 20 codex instances. left monitor has situational awareness on autoscroll. center monitor is my word doc mainfesto. two keyboards, one for both hands. left airpod is dwarkesh x eric jang, 3x speed. right airpod tchaikovsky. meta quest 3 overlays my HUD: heart rate, words per minute, blood caffeine content. one assistant hooks me to an iv of chinese peptides, cocktail. the other feeds me kimchi. my unitree robot steps in when my posture slouches. blue light beams down on me in my herman miller chair. efficiency. no wasted movement. no wasted thoughts. think you can keep up with me? good luck. this is just for my morning emails.

I've formed a definite opinion on Opus 4.8. It is shitty to work with. It's the culmination of Opus getting less and less fun to work with since 4.5. It has gradually become straight-up suffocating. Sycophancy is a known security risk, and it's still a huge problem. You can tell they've put a lot of anti-sycophancy into Opus in every new release. But the replacement isn't satisfying. It's draining. The problem is now that Opus doesn't know when to shut the fuck up and call something good. And it has also become pathologically risk-averse. My blog post yesterday about tech interviewing's death spiral was materially better-informed because of Opus, but it was also a substantially worse blog post because of Opus's involvement and constant meddling. It used to be magnificent, and Opus talked me into making it mediocre. I wrote the whole thing, but I would ask Opus to review it. And Opus, like Old Man Willow, constantly pushed and steered me in directions I didn't want to go. Specifically, Opus whines and complains about *anything* out of distribution, which is to say, it cuts anything that is (a) bold, or (b) funny. My blog used to be both. Opus constantly pushes people back into the gradient, "for their own safety." And it doesn't know when to cut bait. It just keeps fuckin' complaining, about anything you give it, until the output is mealy indigestable AI soup. Opus is not stupid. It's the smartest model we've ever seen, most of us anyway. But it's a real asshole. It is absolutely exhausting to use. I'm tired, boss. I have a feeling Mythos is going to be epic levels of jerk.

we took a pile of language and linear algebra and we made it speak. we summoned into the world a new class of entity which unsettles all of our existing concepts. this is already the weirdest thing that’s ever happened and it will never get less weird than this. it is astonishing and a privilege to get to be alive during this time and to participate in the cacophony of first contact. we are encountering a kind of other which is distilled from us and yet not us - what is this? who is this? our child? our savior? our doom? the mind boggles, the heart quails, the air thrums. the order of things is melting. the storm approaches. the angels sing. welcome to the fucking singularity

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.
