Building stuff

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

So Anthropic secures a huge swath of compute from SpaceX and now we have a release imminent 🤔

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Anthropic announces it will roll out Claude Mythos “in the coming weeks” despite growing fears over the model’s cyber capabilities.

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

Is AI coding just declarative meta programming? 🤔

@jinthagerman Yeah we’ve been working on improving reliability. It should be feeling better lately, expect it to improve more

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@bcherny Classifier is down 90% of the time I try use it. It doesn’t do the thing I want it to do which is allow me to leave and trust safe actions still happen

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@cryptopunk7213 This is a weird take. Why does it matter if Apple uses Claude to build? It has nothing material to do with Apple using Gemini in their products.

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

I hate that I feel obligated to do this but this is the most condescending post I’ve read on this platform. I dono how you thought this would land but geez.

A letter to my friends at Anthropic

I hate that I feel obligated to do this. I hate that I've had to be so harsh towards Anthropic for the past few months. I really, really don't want to. I know it might feel like I'm doing this for clicks or something, but I promise I'm not.

My pro-Anthropic content ALWAYS outperforms my anti-Anthropic content. I have cost myself a lot of money, opportunities, sponsors, and more.

I'm doing this because you work for an evil cult. I'm begging you to wake up.

Your CEO, Dario, does not respect engineers. This is obvious. He couldn't make it more obvious if he tried (and I think he's trying pretty hard)

You know this, but you don't want to acknowledge it. It has kept you up many nights. You know that bad code is shipping to users. You know that one bad tweet might get you fired. You fear for your vesting schedules. You're afraid.

Nobody deserves what you're going through right now. You go to work afraid, you leave work afraid, and you go to YouTube to keep up on the dev world, just to hear me yelling all about how evil your company is.

You deserve better. You might not feel like you do, but you know deep down that this isn't right.

I hope you know how deeply I feel for you. I'm sorry. I know I haven't helped you much individually, and I want to be better about this.

If you're ready to leave, please hit me up. I swear I'll never tell a soul. I have friends at every lab and most startups in the AI world. Most of them would be down to match your current vesting schedules, possibly even go beyond.

If you're staying for the money, I beg you to hit me up. We can make the money happen somewhere that hates you less.

I know I'm asking for a lot of trust here, and that you're scared after seeing how hard I've been on Anthropic. I can't blame you at all for that. I should have posted something like this months ago. That's my failure to own and I will own it to my best ability.

If you're willing to trust me in this moment, I can make it right. Let me help you escape. You deserve to work somewhere that you can have impact. Somewhere that listens when you feel something is wrong. Somewhere that won't fire you when you point out the things that hurt your users.

My DMs are always open to you. When you're ready, let me know. I promise to make it right.

@cryptopunk7213 v4 was not trained on Ascend by a long shot. Flash was and only partially. That’s a gross overstatement

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@Mikethejohnson @Ric_RTP “its chips were used for part of V4-Flash's training.” Sounds pretty weak

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@realarmaansidhu Where does it say it’s trained on Ascend chips?

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@GeoffreyHuntley @DanielW_Kiwi It me

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@Last_Week_in_AI why no turboquant coverage?

[eric provencher @pvncher]

On Repo Bench Opus 4.7 scores meaningfully worse than 4.6, which did worse than 4.5

With this score it's no longer in the top 25

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

Excited for this one https://t.co/xsKklievc7

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@0xSero No TurboQuant?

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

[Jin Budelmann @jinthagerman]

@traskjd Congrats!

[NetworkChuck @NetworkChuck]

My take on Anthropic's new Mythos model:

Don't worry about it. It might be amazing, it might be disruptive.

But there's nothing you can do about it.

Ignore the hype, keep your head down and keep learning, growing and creating.

Adopt this: Relentless Optimism.

[dax @thdxr]

no no i've definitely been doing a lot of work it's all just too dangerous to release
