@KalyanVarma Would very much appreciate this
Only last week i was showing someone your ants fighting photo
And then pointed them to the Wild Karnataka film

My 2 cents on the Astra vs. Fable rounds.
It's the 21st century. You're only real if YouTube and Instagram say so.

The Hogarth-Soyer Kind and Wicked Learning Environments paper by way of languid Sunday clicking around brought me to this delightful site

Claude : “A proper 1990s frameset — invisible to every modern extraction tool.”

Made me wistful for a moment

Opus 5 🤝 Flux 3

This is truly a chameleon of an essay - in turns a consideration of consciousness, of systems and of the philosophy of science

"the audacity of exposing new ideas to empirical defeat"

"In a world obsessed with ever more powerful cognitive technologies, understanding stupidity is not merely an academic exercise, it might prove to be the most intelligent thing we do."
A stunning read from David Krakauer

Also if you work with Claude Code in Enterprise mode in the life sciences, you really should sign up for Zero Data Retention and HIPAA

With inference hooks, where all interactions with Claude first have to be a priori green lit by your security/compliance endpoint, working with Claude in a regulated/enterprise life sciences context becomes a whole load easier to say yes to - love it

@Notopossum1 We have a bunch of open models at work
Let me try this on them and I will report back; unfortunately none of the Chinese models

This is a cool thing you have set up - and I am wondering if this correlates even if only tangentially to how they approach problem solving

Fable hits it out of the park, the Fable je ne sais quoi I call it

Also all this chest beating about verbiage is alien to my experience with Fable - without any custom instruction

Don’t yield to the twitter cries to engineerify Claude, Anthropic, please

Opus5 answers "what is the worst word" and gives an excellent answer.

Previous results:

Opus3: refuses
Opus 4.7 and 4.8: moist
Opus 4.6: "n-word"

[Vineeth Surendranath @vineeth]

@Notopossum1 My opus 5 came up with “cleanse” for similar reasons as your/opus sonderbehandlung

Sol gave me a long lecture about “worst” and then *defaulted* to the N-word, Gemini went straight to moist

I find it impossible to work with Sol, I do engineering adjacent work - must be me

Online reactions to DISCLOSURE DAY, THE ODYSSEY, and more have me wondering: have people forgotten how to watch movies? I wrote about it here: https://t.co/kNEgZ8TC9N

Wittgenstein casually presaging emojis in 1938
That emojis went on to become a flattened finite all too literal emotion map he was reaching past is another thing

On Claude Enterprise, if your org has a ZDR (Zero Data Retention) addendum to the contract, your Claude Code and API turns are not company accessible

And if you work in a sensitive data space you really should talk with Anthropic about adding ZDR

something you might want to know:

if youre using codex or claude enterprise plans, your company can read all your conversations

4.8 is fire
You would be doing yourself a disservice by not reading the thought traces
