[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

A student can now complete modern education in the West without reading a single page of Homer, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Augustine, Aquinas, Dante, Chaucer, or Milton.

This is how you erase a culture.

If schools and universities won't teach the Great Books of Western Civilization, we must form our own reading circles independently.

These are some of the texts we've read together at Athenaeum, or intend to cover soon. We are reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics right now.

Please join our reading group if you'd like to study the great works in dialogue with others.

Consider a paid subscription if you'd like to support — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this.

You'll get:

- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

Welcome!

[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.

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.

We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

So bitcoin fundamentals:

-wastes energy for nothing
-not quantum proof
-impossible to transact
-a ponzi that holds 5% that will collapse at some point

Why not bet on a chain:

-secures chain with economical productive activity
-quantum proof
-easier to scale

Imagine we can use all the energy of bitcoin, turn it into compute and eventually train OS models with SOTA like performance

Rather have society reach consensus something is digital gold for something like this than old tech that just wastes resources

I always thought the Lion King song was just Disney trying to make “Africa-sounding” music, but the truth is so much funnier

Druck used to puke “once or twice a week from anxiety” during drawdowns and had “imposter syndrome” for at least 15 years running Duquesne.

His advice to those suffering like that?

Get over it. 🤔 ✍️ 👌

Former CIA Agent: "I've never had a positive encounter with Mossad. I have never met a CIA officer who has had a positive encounter with Mossad.

The Mossad doesn't give two shits what you think. They care only about Israel."
