Clause 14 of the draft Iran-U.S. memorandum calls for final approval of the final deal by the UN Security Council. So its members (France, Russia, China, Britain) will have veto powers?

These inflection points are interesting when they happen as we observe them in real time.
But the real life reaction to that will take some time and then it’s still shocking—even though we observed it in data much earlier …

The other story is that AI is offloading social interaction as well. A hikikomori enabler.
Not exactly a fun story about how an intransigent systems gets clever fooled. Everyone looses.

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.

A Japanese TV crew filmed a 26 year old Tokyo office worker for a feature on quiet quitting. He had not spoken to his manager in four months. AI wrote his reports, his meeting summaries and every reply his boss received, while he collected a full salary.

On camera he said the line everyone screenshotted: talking to my boss is a hassle, so I push the conversation into AI and I do not speak.

His story was simple. The tasks were menial and led nowhere. He raised it once. His boss told him: I cannot even change your duties. So he stopped asking. Then he stopped doing.

The crew thought that was the story. It was not.

Pause at 1:27. The camera holds on his laptop for four seconds. Read the prompt he typed. Everyone read the beginning: write the overview of the internal portal project and my duties in it. Almost nobody read the last verb. The verb was not summarize. The verb was invent.

There was no project. AI invented the overview, his role in it, the lessons learned. His boss read the document and sent back notes. AI answered the notes. The man watched the thread grow and thought: he is really trying.

For months the boss has been holding up one half of a conversation with nobody on the other side. The boss who could not change his duties never noticed the duties had already changed hands.

He still rides the same train every morning. He still sits in meetings with his camera off. He still passes his performance reviews. He still has not heard his manager's voice since February.

The crew came to record the honest opinion of young people. They left with a man who stopped working months ago, inside a company that still has not noticed.

The boss replied to AI again this morning. He watched. He thought: he is really trying.
