🇻🇪 Venezuela: Le chef de l'organisation criminelle Tren de Aragua, dont la tête avait été mise à prix par les Etats-Unis, a été tué dans une frappe américaine lors d'une opération conjointe entre Washington et Caracas, dans le sud du Venezuela.

Alerte ! Les États-Unis ont coupé cette nuit au reste du monde l’accès à Fable et à Mythos d’Anthropic, les IA les plus puissantes jamais créées. Au nom de la sécurité nationale.

Plus de doute possible : la guerre technologique mondiale est désormais ouverte. Et dans cette guerre, celui qui contrôle la technologie contrôle l'avenir.

Mais ici, en France, tout le monde s’en fout : la prochaine présidentielle parlera de réforme des retraites et de taxation des riches.

Le réveil de la France et de l’Europe sera brutal.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

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.

"Like all great memoirs, Persepolis made the particular universal. It allowed readers to see themselves in an Iranian girl from Tehran. In doing so, it made it harder to deny our shared humanity. Her art has the kind of charm that allows everyone to see themselves in one corner of it or another."

IKEA has installed 1M+ solar panels, owns 49 wind farms and 26 solar parks, and now matches 94.8% of its electricity use with renewables.

A furniture retailer has become one of the world's largest corporate renewable energy investors.

The transition is bigger than utilities.

Ingka Group (the company that runs most IKEA stores worldwide) has already invested €4.3 billion into renewable energy and plans to lift that to €7.5 billion by 2030.

Its wind and solar assets already generate enough electricity to match the annual consumption of more than 1.47 million European households, while rooftop solar continues rolling out across IKEA stores and warehouses worldwide.

This is what mainstream disruption looks like. Companies aren't waiting for governments or utilities to lead. They're investing billions because renewables increasingly offer the lowest-cost path to long-term energy security and resilience.

Furniture retailer? More like a clean energy company that happens to sell flat-pack furniture.

This is an astoundingly rapid change in something so basic. In 15 years the proportion of people who say college is very important has decreased by more than half.

I just read the essay by @rorytruex that was quoted in the viral post about the role of teaching in the age of AI. It is excellent, and has the exact opposite message than the post would suggest.

Rory has been proactive in re-vamping his class to focus on the comparative advantage of the teacher, to engage the students and help them learn more effectively. This part stuck out in particular. Everyone should read the whole thing.

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

UNESCO pays tribute to the memory and immense philosophical legacy of Edgar Morin, a towering figure of thought and a close friend of @UNESCO.

Through his articles, books, and lectures —always marked by immense generosity— Edgar Morin gave voice to nuance, complexity, and the essential dialogue between disciplines, standing against the dangers of extreme specialization.

He offered us the exceptional gift of delivering UNESCO’s centenary keynote lecture, spanning a century of reflection and engagement—perhaps the best introduction for those discovering his work today.

Edgar Morin’s intellectual journey is a method for the future: an art of patience and a true initiation into the art of human creativity and reflection, at a time shaped by machines and artificial intelligence.

Here’s the email to employees:

Team,

Hope everyone’s doing well and enjoying the productivity enhancements from our AI tooling initiative.

Unfortunately, Finance has asked me to clarify a small issue.

It appears someone, and by “someone” I mean apparently all of you simultaneously, managed to spend $500,000,000 on @claudeai usage in a single month.

For context:
•NASA landed on the moon for less.
•We are now the proud owner of approximately 14% of Anthropic.
•Claude personally sent us a thank-you fruit basket.
•Our CFO has entered a fugue state and only communicates through Slack emojis.
•The electricity usage from your prompts briefly dimmed parts of Northern Virginia.
While we appreciate innovation, there are concerns that:
•“Can you make this email sound slightly warmer?” did not require 11,400 generations.
•Asking Claude to “rewrite this in the style of Succession, Hemingway, and Tony Soprano combined” may have been excessive.
•One employee appears to have used Claude to generate “a quick list of lunch options” that somehow consumed the GDP of a small island nation.

Going forward, please observe the following guidelines:
1Do not upload the entire internet into Claude “for context.”
2If your prompt begins with “simulate every possible outcome,” reconsider.
3Claude should not be used to:
◦settle fantasy football disputes,
◦write your wedding vows 97 times,
◦generate revenge edits of your ex’s LinkedIn bio,
◦or ask “what if Rome had WiFi?”

Most importantly:

If you see the message:

“This request may require additional datacenter construction”

…please stop immediately and contact IT.

Thank you all for your cooperation during this challenging yet technologically groundbreaking time.

Warm regards,
Management

P.S. Whoever prompted:
“Generate every possible PR angle for every company founded since 1983”
…we just want to talk.
