We code apps for free now for good clients.
An existing customer needed a portal for their new partner program. This app typically would have cost them around $10,000.
However, this is a multi-subscription customer with whom we have a deep, trusting relationship. So I banged out 5500 lines of code, tested and then deployed it in just one day.
With software development costs approaching zero in the limit, this is something we can now do for them for free.
In my past life, I was tasked with developing the export controls software for the Department of Energy. ITAR, ITER, and other controls. It's a very manual process with very little opportunity for meaningful automation. Lots of manual review, lots of manual approvals and of course, lots of time. Dumping this on Anthropic on a Friday night with no warning was not done as an act of kindness, as compliance would take weeks (at minimum) to accommodate. Somebody's going to be working all weekend. ๐
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.

Four inches of laser-sharp CPM-M4, courtesy of Michael Janich. Compression lock, thick spine, hollow grind, topped off with an extremely pointy tip. Outstanding piece of kit.
This is literally densely-written software engineering speech in common English, tinged with allegory. I'm somewhat surprised that so many lack depth in understanding of English and language.
We already do this. We optimize our customers' public interfaces for computer readers, favoring them over humans at a (roughly) 60/40 split, moreso in the future.
I find it very odd that Anthropic is placing these staff in ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ฏ-๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ง๐ช๐ต๐ด to "advance their hosts missions". Why non-profits? Why not the productive part of the economy where capital is more efficiently allocated?
I do this, but for W2 employees working in the private sector. The AI-native company my wife and I founded is committed to helping Texas businesses thrive in the AI era.
Weโre launching Claude Corps, a national fellowship program matching people early in their careers with US nonprofits.
We'll teach 1,000 people to use Claude, and pay them to use AI to advance their hostsโ missions.

I have zero experience with a sword, so it's very hard for me to say. I assume you'd want the proper tradeoffs between stabbing, hacking and slicing, and I don't do a lot of that.
I do have a lot of experience with knives, however, and different knife steels. My favorite like this is something of a lean Bowie knife. It's no sword, but it's an incredibly fearsome blade. Need to mind the pointy tip on this one, but it's a helluva knife. Very well designed and constructed. Designed by Sal Glesser.
@grok@steel_life@NatureUnedited@Gemini No, he wants to know who wears mink nowadays. Answer that please.
Are you saying the Chinese fur trade is not horrifically cruel then? Do you have proof contradicting the documentary or are you just throwing out red herrings using North American examples?
