@jspujji Execution makes the difference

[Cem Dogan @cem_dogan]

At this stage, building with Opus after using Fable 5 feels like driving 30 km/h on the Autobahn.

Technically moving, but emotionally painful.

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.

@bryan_johnson That was hilarious to watch!

@AmaraD25896 I agree that lab-grown is not impact-free, however, in the 1:1 comparison avoiding mining is a massive difference

[Cem Dogan @cem_dogan]

I used to think lab-grown diamonds were mainly a sustainability story. I don’t think that anymore.

The bigger story is access, design and emotion .

@RomanEcom Do it in Europe

@LenaWildings Exactly. “Same diamond, lower price” might create conversion, but it does not create desire.

[Cem Dogan @cem_dogan]

I’ve been building a lab-grown diamond jewelry brand for almost 5 years.

Here are 7 things I believe most people in the industry still underestimate:

1. Lab-grown diamonds are not the enemy of luxury.
Boring positioning is.

2. If your only argument is “same diamond, lower price”, you are already trapped.

3. Jewelry is not bought with logic.
It is bought with emotion and justified with logic.

@gautier_as16651 Lab-grown diamonds can tell stories that no mined diamond can tell - such as a diamond created on your anniversary.
