@derrickcchoi @OpenAI Welcome to Singapore!

[Sheel Mohnot @pitdesi]

Super relevant update on the Airtable acquisition!

They spun out their AI business Hyperagent prior to the acquisition.

So the company lives on, and likely some cash with it, probably can be recapitalized.

seems like a fantastic outcome. Shed the old business and focus on AI

Remember when Claude tortured you with usage limits, mythos drama, huge bills, unreliable data retention policy and told you you are not “safe” or rich enough to use the most frontier intelligence and must be dumbed down to the lesser version coz they said so? That world is over.
- fable is now provided forever with no mythos bullshit
- codex gave so many usage resets and subsidy
- for the first time ever, enterprises can choose to keep their own data safe, and say no to terms they don’t like
- application developers can choose to not get wiped out by Claude(don’t give them data) and can make margins

We have made more progress in the past few weeks than the last year. We got there not by the Dario god deciding that’s a better policy for humanity. We got there because of open weights. Open weights gave us options and competition drives progress.

@louiedooey @ManusAI Agree. That’s why adopting a growth mindset such more important in this day and age.

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

This is 💯 right. You might as well put a high-fence around the United States. We wouldn’t be locking other people out — we would be caging ourselves in. & using AI with price/performance that isn’t globally competitive. No need to protect the fastest growing company of all time.

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.

After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.

We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.

Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.

Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

Are we at peak AI yet?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

If you've adopted AI at your company but haven't seen any tangible results, read this 1990 article: "The Dynamo and the Computer" by Paul David.

When electricity first arrived, factories that "adopted" it barely got faster. They just swapped the steam engine for an electric one and ran everything else exactly as before: same machine layout, same workflow, same management. Electricity in, no real gains out.

The most common mistake with any new technology is to drop it into the old organization and then declare the transformation done.

The real leap came decades later, when each machine got its own small motor. Suddenly machines no longer had to be lined up around one central drive shaft. They could be rearranged around the actual flow of work.

The productivity gains didn't come from electricity. They came from REDESIGNING THE ENTIRE FACTORY around it.

AI is the same. Bolting it onto your existing process gets you a faster steam engine. The payoff comes when you redesign the work itself.

Life’s short. Do something meaningful. You should aspire to make a dent in the universe, but at the least you should make sure you leave the world better than when you first arrived in it.

[tianglim @tianglim]

Yes and in always tell my team that our job is to partner with founders that make high quality decisions consistently over time.

[Willis Wee @williswee]

A founder’s real job is to make high-quality decisions, repeatedly, for years.

"You cannot govern a technology you have only been briefed on."

Dr. @VivianBala's challenge to his fellow legislators has become a global rallying cry.

Last week, @takahiroanno, leader of Japan's @team_mirai_jp, cited Minister Balakrishnan's hands-on use of @NanoClaw_ai in a parliamentary debate and offered to personally tutor the Prime Minister on setting it up. The PM said yes.

Officially volunteering to fly out and set NanoClaw up for Japan's PM myself.

Offer extends to any head of state whose country has good food.

BREAKING NEWS: God joins Anthropic as member of technical staff

[kennethlou @kenneth_lou]

Very bullish on these new discoveries.

Every year we stay alive, it’s another year where AI multiplies these advancements across all of humanity to benefit down the road.

So, stay alive!
