Fable is AGI

@Merridew__ Congrats!

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

I've had access to Fable for a bit. A genuine jump in capability, I could feed it a 15 page design document for a project and it would work for 9+ hours and deliver terrific results.

But working with it is weird & weirder is coming

Lots of examples: https://t.co/HptkYunBzr

@CashionEast @JaredDHardin I popped a large retailer for poorly maintained parking bumpers here in NWA. The standard is whether the premises owner knew OR should have known of the hazard. Head in the sand won't work if the hazard lasts any amount of time.

Domestic #oil situation tightening quickly, weekly @EIAgov data shows. Since March 20th, total US oil inventories have gone from a 91 million bbl y-o-y surplus to a 64 million bbl deficit. Domestic inventories are now the lowest since 2004. https://t.co/3hOgKVL02b

Ford calculated it was cheaper to let people burn alive in the Pinto than to fix the exploding gas tank.

Fix the defect? $137 million.
Pay out for deaths and injuries? Only $49 million.

So they left it that way.

Aaron Siri brought this up on JRE, pointing to similar cases like Vioxx, where the company knew it was causing heart attacks and strokes but downplayed the risks to protect profits.

When corporations are allowed to run cold cost-benefit analyses on human lives, people die so shareholders can earn more. Punitive damages exist precisely to make that math no longer add up.

This isn’t ancient history. It still happens whenever profit is placed above safety.

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results

I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

[Eric Nuttall @ericnuttall]

What if we are being misinformed in order to keep a lid on the oil price? What if talks are actually NOT going well and a peace treaty is NOT in fact imminent? What if there is no actual "cease fire" given ongoing kinetic action by both sides? What if Exxon and Chevron are right and working inventory levels are about to be breached in the coming weeks resulting in a price spike? What if the Strait does NOT in fact open, while everyone believes it will because "it has to"? What then???

America's postal system is a sort of negative lootbox where 99.9% of items are trash but the other 0.1% are special quest items that if not promptly handled result in crippling debts or your arrest.

@TheStalwart Just an amazing bit

@Merridew__ Big laundry fires, nothing to see here

[Your mom's favorite lawyer @jacobwhiteAR]

@Wildlaw406 Wow. Is there any recourse in a situation like that? My assumption is the GP has limited liability, but I don't know how fool-proof that is in its situation like the one you've described.

Important for policymakers to note that there appears to be no causal link b/w zoning and home prices.

[Hal Singer @lindsaylsahm]

The @nytopinion section released an editorial today claiming that the best way to make homes more affordable is by loosening zoning rules and expediting permitting. Standard abundance stuff. Their causal proof is this (very pretty) graph, showing a negative relationship between the rate of home construction over the past decade with the median home price in each area. Even accepting the premise that more homes in a city improves affordability (home prices to median income), which is not really controversial, the essay fails to show how *loosening zoning rules* leads to greater home construction. 1/3

Astounding

[خبرگزاری فارس @FarsNews_Agency]

گفتنی است مقامات آمریکایی در پیغام‌های متعدد به ایران اذعان داشته‌اند که توییت‌های ترامپ عمدتاً جنبه تبلیغاتی و مصرف رسانه‌ای در داخل آمریکا داشته و توصیه کرده‌اند که به این اظهارات توجهی نشود.

Iran’s Fars News denies Trump’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz will return to its pre-war status, saying any possible deal would leave Iran in control of passage routes, timing and permits, while only allowing traffic volume to return to previous levels.

@MaryBFun4 @susyb29 100% seeing a lot of folks not understanding why it's so great here in the Ozarks, just trying to make a buck ruining it

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

@sloptimistic This is a bad take. People are being handed tools at work and they're going to use them in this manner. Sure, an individual maybe should know that there are certain best practices to get the best out of them. But that's not a solution at scale.
