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.

[Richard Oluwamayowa @Olaogun_]

Hello @LCFC

I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.

I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.

I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.

My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn

Thanks,
Olaogun

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

Had a good conversation with HE @peterobi.

Shared vision. Same drive to fix a system that has failed too many.

The road to a new Nigeria will be birthed through united voices and well-governed states.

Here's to the work ahead.

Blessing, I just watched the two interviews you used to conclude that Tinubu is more intelligent than Peter Obi.

If what Peter Obi expounded in that interview does not strike you as intelligent, then your character and judgment are questionable.

Here is the summary.

[00:03:01 - 00:04:32] Principles Over Party:

Obi justifies his political movements by citing Winston Churchill and Raila Odinga, arguing that a party is merely a "vehicle" to a destination.

He posits that one must change vehicles if the original is no longer headed toward the goal of a better society.

Why should you stay in a place that will eventually not benefit the whole country?

[00:05:10 - 00:06:01] The Primacy of Process:

He argues that the process by which a leader attains power is "far more fundamental" than their subsequent actions.

He asserts that if the process is "faulty" or compromised, he chooses to leave the organization, as he did with the PDP.

You cannot do a good thing through a bad process. This is a statement of integrity.

[00:14:41 - 00:15:48] Character over Ambition:

Obi emphasizes that his political shifts are not transactional or for personal benefit.

He maintains that he has never forged documents or lied to facilitate a move, framing his career as one of "consistent behavior" dedicated to the poor.

Then he went to economic insight. This was the highlight for me:

[THE KINE 🌕🖤 @asher_kine]

idk how to stress this well enough but a truckload of people i come across do not have their PERM. VOTERS CARD and they all have one common excuse - “what difference would it make if i go ahead and get it?”

A lottt of people aren’t even trying to vote and I’m puzzled because how will you change things if you are not participating in the process and actively enforcing it????

PVC registration has re-opened and i beg you to start your registration and actually see it through.

I’ve been quiet… not absent.

I was building, protecting, and embracing the greatest blessing of my life.

God gave me more than I prayed for
a woman who became a mother of three, and three kings to call my own 👑👑👑

My world. My responsibility. My legacy.

Alhamdulilah! ✨

[Aderonke Asake Oreke(Foodstuff vendor) @Fancyfoodmart]

I go too pursue them

When I was working in a lounge and supermarket,I’ll never sell alcohol to an underage

The supermarket branch I worked was inside one getto in Ikorodu (you would have been hearing Eluku medemede) yeah that’s the place and it’s a norm for kids around 10yrs or so to enter the store and pickup alcohol

But if you come to my till to make payment,I’ll tell you to go drop it and call an elderly person to come buy

So at some point,they already know me and won’t near me for payment

When I was working in a lounge in Akure and those small small boys just starting yahoo comes in with their babes,my body go just dey hot

If they order for alcohol,I’ll tell one of them quietly that we’re not allowed to sell alcohol to underaged and there are silent authorities disguised as customers monitoring us most times and if they are caught,na 14yrs imprisonment

It worked everytime and they will settle for juice and pepper soup 😂

Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool Football Club at the end of the 2025-26 season.

The time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield ❤️

The real virus is articles like this.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

This piece is interesting. I also think it's deeply flawed. One thing I've noticed, and h/t to @arijoe19 for articulating it so well, is that computer code is a really structured language, and software is a defined problem space with a lot of defined patterns, so software people tend to think everything is a pattern and AI being really good at their job makes them overestimate how well it can do everything else.

The truth is there is a lot more disorder, unpredictability, and humanness in so much of our lives — and our work — that I don't think AI applications will always (or even often?) be able to account for.

Matt, for instance, lists journalism as a job in trouble thanks to AI (not that our industry needs more trouble). And it's true that AI can read documents fast and do incredible research and even write clean copy and edit -- it will probably eliminate or reduce the need for some jobs!

But you know what it can't do? It can't work a source over for years on end. It can't / doesn't / won't bear witness to live events. It reminds me of the famous Good Will Hunting scene, where Robin Williams is chastising Matt Damon about being such a smart ass but not being able to describe what the Sistine Chapel smells like. Damon is the AI.

I say this as someone who has experimented a ton with the latest versions of ChatGPT Matt is writing about here. I can feed it limitless writing of mine from my archives and then have it write a take about a new current events story; I've tried, actually, because if it were good it would save me hours of work every day. But it is *always* useless. Not sometimes; always.

Why? Because the AI still can't predict when certain emotional elements of a story drive me away from a previously held position; because it doesn't know what happened to me that week, or what stories I've read about the topic at hand, or an experience my grandmother had that my family always talked about that informs my view on, say, antisemitism or Israel. It just predicts where I'd land on an issue based on what I've written before, which is actually not a great way to understand humans who are always moving in new and different directions.

It just doesn't know. People think humans are finite numbers of neurons and processes and thoughts and learning but I think that is wrong — we are all constantly changing every day, every second, thanks to new inputs and new experiences.

So yes, I buy that AI will be able to read documents better than your typical lawyer. But can it build a relationship with a client? Or look at a jury and guess what argument might move them to "guilty"? Or know when to cross the lines with a judge or when to step back? I don't really think so. And those limits, to me, are so under-discussed in this dialogue that it kind of discredits everything else.
