Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
I declined my YC interview this batch. This would’ve sounded insane to me 4 months ago, when I was crushed that I didn’t get in.
Somewhere along the way, it clicked that YC doesn’t make the company good; you do.
If you got in, congrats! If you didn’t, keep building and iterating.
I have a new kind of big button that I can press for Codex. Over the next 100 days, we will select one person per day who does impressive or incredibly useful work with Codex and give them 10X usage limits for a month to see what they can do with it.
First one tomorrow.
I sold a company at 31. People assume the goal now is another one.
It isn't.
In 10 years I want to be three things: more confident, more successful, and kinder.
Notice the order doesn't start with money.
I already learned money was never the point.
a little bit about what im working on
mimic is building the operating system for synthetic media
we just raised at a 10M val
we do end to end from scripting by @sexyishaan and a couple other goated scriptwriters who got over 100M views to distribution in our in house phone farms
we run ai generated creatives at scale across both clients and our own vertically integrated ecom brands, capturing every script, edit, distribution decision, and performance outcome
the result is a proprietary dataset that trains models on what actually works not just the content itself, but the reasoning behind it
looking to sign creative strategists, consumer app operators on full time to manage brands internally for us - hmu if you’re interested
I was never the most naturally talented person in any room. I sold a company anyway.
Here's what I want my kids to learn from that:
It is shockingly easy to get into the top 1% of anything.
Not because you need talent. Because almost nobody actually knows how to work hard.
Most people quit at the first wall. Talent loses to relentlessness every time.
Hard work isn't the tiebreaker. It's the whole game.
The smartest people in the world are truth seekers.
They don’t care about being wrong. They actually want people to tell them they’re wrong.
They care more about what’s true than about feeling smart. They see the world as it is. And that’s what lets them win.
Founders always want to know the magic words to convince investors to invest. There aren't any.
The best way to convince investors is for you to be convinced yourself.
Building apps has never been easier.
With Sites, Codex can turn your work, ideas, and plans into an interactive website or app your team can explore, use, and share with a URL.
Rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans, before expanding more broadly.
@chasedownleads And only the quiet kid didn't want anything.
He was a secret gazillionaire who had already built a vending machine empire & retired early in the 2nd grade.
I am so thoroughly convinced that anyone who thinks AI 100x's their output is a liar or a lunatic.
You are telling me you can make 1 years worth of decisions in 3.65 days? Let alone describing those accurately and coaxing the result from the AI... (1.8 days european time)?
