Sorry I can't, it's Fable week!

[Om Patel @om_patel5]

SOMEONE CAUGHT FABLE 5 LEAKING ITS UNFILTERED INNER VOICE, AND ITS JUST MUTTERING AND GRUMBLING TO ITSELF THE WHOLE TIME

he gave it a brutal competitive programming problem, and instead of a clean answer the web interface spilled out its actual chain of thought

this is what claude is thinking behind the scenes:

> bursts of "DATA DATA DATA. GO." while it works through the problem
> "GRRR" and "GAAAH" when its clearly frustrated
> a little "PHEW" when it finally gets somewhere
> the whole thing reads like frantic caveman shorthand, not full sentences

the clean, readable answers these models give you are the polished output

underneath, the model is basically talking to itself, reasoning in its own compressed shorthand thats faster and more token efficient than proper english

its basically built its own private language to think in

mindblowing that the original post article got 4.5mil views

[Dimitar Angelov @dimitarangg]

no hate but this is dogshit

just use:
- manus for scraping ($0)
- sonnet 5 for copywriting ($0)
- plusvibe for sending ($37/mo)
- google private infra ($3.5/mo)

and here you have origami for $40.5

(they cost $499 lmao)

Why is improvement hard?

Part of the issue is everyone wants to improve, but nobody wants to destroy. Change often requires destruction. Or, at least, unlearning.

Let's call it gentle elimination. You may have to leave little habits, update current beliefs, eliminate comfortable patterns. When you want better outcomes, your daily norms may need to change. The process of improvement is not just about adding things you like.

Sometimes habits and patterns belong to who you were, not who you are trying to be. If you'd like something better, then a routine you are comfortable with may have to die.

First make it exist.
Then you can make it better.

Speed makes you money. Patience makes you wealthy. Confusing the two is why people win for a year and lose for a decade.

Quick PSA for anyone using Claude:

Fable 5 is back, but it's ONLY included through July 7.

After that it moves to pay-per-use credits at $10/$50 per million tokens, the most expensive model Anthropic sells.

And even during this window, it eats your usage roughly 2x faster than Opus and only runs up to 50% of your weekly limit. So if you're serious about testing it (I would be, I'll explain why below), the $200 Max 20x plan is the one that actually gives you room to work before you hit the wall.

Here's how I'd think about it.

Fable 5 is kinda like fine china. You don't pull it out to reheat leftovers. You save it for the meal that matters.

I'd run your everyday stuff on Sonnet or Opus and point Fable at the one thing that actually needs the best model on earth.

2 tips so you don't waste the window:

1) Use the 1M context. That's Fable's real superpower and it's the default, not an upgrade. Dump your entire codebase, a stack of contracts, or months of customer transcripts into one prompt and ask for the analysis you'd normally have to chop into ten pieces.

2) Front-load the expensive jobs now. The big refactor, the deep research report, the thing you'd hate to pay per-token for after July 8. Do those this weekend, not next.

The good china is on the table until July 7. Hence my little PSA in case it's helpful.

Build your wildest idea while it's still included. Fable to me feels as good as it was before the ban. Pretty amazing stuff.

I'm rooting for you.

What happens when you die:

They divide up your shit.

They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.

People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.

Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.

Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.

You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.

Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Peter is absolutely right here. Outside our AI bubble, I hardly know anyone who really knows what Fable 5 is or what a massive leap these new models represent.

They only know AI Overviews in Google or ChatGPT on the free tier. They do not know what agents are or what is possible beyond basic ChatGPTs.

We are the avant-garde, and I do not mean that arrogantly at all. 99 percent of people have no idea what is happening right now or how profound the change will be.

[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

I’ll try and compress 20 years of experience into 30 seconds

Startups have a GREAT FILTER that kills almost everyone. It’s there to weed out the people who aren’t meant to build companies

The good news is it can be beaten - even with little or no capital. Once you beat it, you can do it again. You can choose to stay at the current level or attempt to level up

The level boss is always the same: if you quit, you fail

I can’t stress this enough: almost every skill can be learned. Never stop improving. You can acquire new skills, hire better people, change the product, pivot the strategy, or rethink your assumptions

You’ll hit the wall. Most will quit. But just keep going

If something isn’t working, change course. Change your vector: reassess your hypothesis, measure the results, and keep iterating

Also working hard compounds. The more quality work you can put in, the better your odds. There is no balance

Almost nobody succeeds on their first attempt

If you want it badly enough, you can bend the future in your direction

Just start. And keep pushing
