Happy to present our brand-new article, published in The Gerontologist! The paper highlights crucial demographic and gerontological issues in Ecuador, having worked in collaboration from world-class researchers in the US and Ecuador 🧵

When I was 9, Peru and Ecuador went to war. My school books had mandatory maps explaining why Peru was right.
~30 years on, here I am, past midnight, hand-on-heart cheering for them in the WC.

Borders are lines on maps that deceive us into seeing our fellow humans as strangers

Early projections on Sunday showed Swiss voters had rejected a proposal to cap the country’s population at 10mn people, delivering a surprise defeat to a rightwing initiative that had appeared neck and neck in opinion polls until just days before the vote https://t.co/Bp7auMAPBl

My opinion is that Mythos is the current best model but not actually some world-changing dangerous model, and that anthropic did their usual song and dance about safety largely because they didn’t have enough compute to serve it at scale

So then they launched Fable because they still have to think about the IPO, but they are still somewhat compute limited so they put all sorts of restrictions on it

Around the same time, because they are trying to get regulatory capture and not because things are actually dangerous, Dario did more scaremongering and published his honestly confusing white paper that offered no real solutions

So finally they succeeded, they managed to freak out the government, their cynical plan backfired, and now it’s a giant pain in the ass

none of this happens if they called it opus 5 and didn’t engage in the day 0 propaganda

La brecha de ingresos entre trabajadores formales e informales es amplia.

La mayoría de trabajadores informales gana menos de la mitad que los formales, con una mediana de $200 vs. $500, respectivamente.

wake up babe, a new natural experiment just dropped

[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.

Read our full statement: https://t.co/bwn0sximKZ

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.

Here’s what this means for you:

Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.

On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.

We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

I am proud to give you the second chapter of One Assassination Under God. 
This completes my story. 

I used each stone that was thrown at me to sharpen my edges. I outgrew purgatory and carved these songs into the skin of the world. As you listen I hope it forms a scar that you cannot forget. 

One Assassination Under God - Chapter 2, will be released August 14th. Pre-order available now.

#24Horas | Tras 12 años, el INEC actualizó los datos sobre ingresos y gastos de los hogares ecuatorianos. Los resultados muestran que, en promedio, dos personas sostienen cada familia y la alimentación es el principal gasto.
