@JonRothstein @VCU_Hoops A buzzer beater against a good team (or henrico university) at the Stu is better than sex.

@RealDianeYap It looks like good judgment to me, on net.

Would it have been better if he’d backed WeWork with billions of dollars?

@sircalebhammer The spying shit might be real. But Jensen didn’t know about it. The person he had an affair with may not have even know about it. Imagine you’re having an affair with some CEO and your friend you meet with regularly casually asks questions. Do you feel like a spy?

@redsteeze They call it “cheating” he calls it “parallel processing”

@JPChinsolo Sometimes Apple is late because they are releasing a great polished version of the technology. I don’t see that happening here. Apple feels years behind Anthropic.

@FredLambert How is this a win for them? You have to spend $20k+ to run a second-rate open source model? And with that you’re not guaranteed it will be able to run next gen models?

@cremieuxrecueil We can’t bet everything on China not being able to copy ASML either. We need to be able to build as well.

@profroets @coryalthoff Where are you seeing this jump. I definitely saw it with the change from the Claude 4.x to 5.x models. I have not seen that jump within the 5.x models. What is new that is doubling your output?

@the_transit_guy We should make them street legal

@BenjaminDEKR It depends. If xAI makes a comparable model, they might want that extra compute ant is using right now.

Anthropic obviously thinks new capacity coming online is going to outstrip demand.

@Urpraxis I think more so it is the loop. Claudia is able to make a catchy music video about a niche topic while that topic is still salient.

No humans could have wrote and produced a great music video about news that broke yesterday and will only be relevant for a week.

@YIMBYLAND It’s crazy how similar the arguments are for people who are against gentrification and people who complain about the “great replacement”. 🐎🧲

@shakhzod1001 Tomorrow would be a good time to release if they are trying to damage Anthropic’s funding from the IPO. They would be releasing a better model as Anthropic is actively asking investors for money. Said investors might offer less if Anthropic doesn’t have the best model

@kimmonismus You would want to sabotage the roadshow portion. When they are trying to convince investors to give them money.

Anthropic wants about a $100b in investment. Sabotaging would be making it so that they raise less.

Tomorrow would be a good day for that

@hamandcheese @deanwball Hassabis said that there is probably some sort of “special sauce” that we’re missing for a true intelligence explosion.

That seems right to me. But what matters then is when we find that new idea, or how quickly we iterate on what we have.

@anabology What was the stack you used to do this?

[Caffeine Powered @Caffeindated]

@anabology It took this guy 9 hours to make a catchy music video about Anthropic’s news from *yesterday*.

The next “they/them” ad might top the Spotify charts for a day.

Curious what campaign strategists are thinking about ‘28.

@HistoryBoomer This seems like a better representation of where creative AI media is going. It isn’t there yet. But it is pretty cool.

You’re still opposed to neoliberalism? Because at 30 it’s marginal, right?
