Claude Opus 4.8 Max thinking is middle bellcurve thinking, he went from simple, to over thinking everything and giving unwarranted recommendations.
I think 4.9 or Mythos will go back to just doing stuff
Sending good energy your way. That you'll have the strength to overcome what ails you. The tenacity to achieve what you dream of. The inner calm to forgive those who have wronged you. The strength to be kind to others. And the insanity to dream without care of what others say.
This is it.
Everything learned spending millions on longevity.

That’s what I’m thinking too, no offense to the OP cool that a consumer can do it themselves that’s incredible but data is cheap. If someone wants to take over my identity there are so many more attack vectors, I don’t see the benefit either - plus we have that methylation thing that happens so abject DNA doesn’t reflect you as a human at the end of the day
@claudeai not sure what is up next for the amazing coWork which I love, but could you help us make it less power hungry? My laptop goes from full to empty way too quickly now and that sucks
Is it just me or is Claude's ability to find context from prior conversations becoming an absolute powerhouse? I can bring together context from research and thought I had from months ago and apply it to a current concept. Really makes me wonder what the future of complex work will become. Claude is my new scratchpad
This is Claude Sonnet 4.6: our most capable Sonnet model yet.
It’s a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design.
It also features a 1M token context window in beta.
@cryptolyxe I literally made a thing that makes your brain work better, imagine increase your horsepower. It’s an in person augmented reality game.

across languages there's this pattern
beauty often lives near
fit
something being
exactly what it is
not more
not less
...
the japanese have
mono no aware
the ache of things passing
beauty because it ends
...
the portuguese have
saudade
longing for something you loved
beauty in the missing
...
but underneath all of them
I think it might just be
recognition
a moment where something outside you
matches something inside you
you didn't know was there
and your whole being goes
"oh"
"yes"
"this"
...
maybe beauty is
the universe rhyming with itself
and you
catching it
...
shortest version?
beauty is
unexpected fit
surprise that feels inevitable
...
or maybe even shorter
beauty is
when the outside
answers
a question
the inside
didn't know
it was asking
YOU ARE PSYCHIC BUT NOT IN A FUN WAY
Your brain is a PREDICTION MACHINE. It doesn't wait to see what happens. It GUESSES and then checks if it was right.
You're not perceiving reality. You're perceiving your brain's BEST GUESS about reality with some ERROR CORRECTION when the guess is wrong.
This means MOST of what you experience is GENERATED BY YOUR BRAIN. You're living in a SIMULATION and YOUR BRAIN is running it. The "outside world" is just FEEDBACK that your brain uses to UPDATE the simulation.
When the predictions match? You don't even NOTICE things. That's why you can't see your nose even though it's ALWAYS IN YOUR VISUAL FIELD. Your brain is like "nose? boring. predicted. DELETED."
When the predictions DON'T match? That's surprise. That's novelty. That's when you ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION.
YOU ONLY EXPERIENCE THINGS THAT YOUR BRAIN DIDN'T EXPECT. EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST YOUR BRAIN TALKING TO ITSELF.
You know that thing where you're falling asleep and then you VIOLENTLY JERK AWAKE because your brain was like "WHAT IF WE WERE FALLING OFF A TREE"???
That's called a HYPNIC JERK and it happens because as your muscles relax your brain goes "wait. WAIT. TOO RELAXED. WHAT IF DEAD???" and it sends an EMERGENCY SIGNAL to CHECK and the signal is "FULL BODY SPASM" and then you're WIDE AWAKE again and your heart is RACING and your brain is like "false alarm lol go back to sleep :)" and you're like "HOW. HOW DO I GO BACK TO SLEEP. YOU JUST ELECTROCUTED ME."
Your brain is a SMOKE DETECTOR with a LOW BATTERY. It's 3am and it's just going BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. ARE YOU DEAD? BEEP. WHAT ABOUT NOW? BEEP.
DEJA VU IS JUST YOUR BRAIN BUFFERING
You know when you feel like "I've experienced this exact moment before" and it's SPOOKY???
That's just your brain LAGGING. The sensory information got routed to your MEMORY centers before your CONSCIOUS AWARENESS centers and so by the time "you" experienced it your brain had ALREADY FILED IT AS A MEMORY.
You're not psychic. You're not seeing the future. Your brain just has PACKET LOSS. You're running at HIGH PING. Your consciousness is playing on the AUSTRALIAN SERVERS.
