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. 🙁

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.

@Realsociedad10m Even our gas stations have good barbeque.

@businessbarista Get new engineers.

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.

This is wild—and likely a sign of things to come as we transition to a web that is optimized for bots more than humans. https://t.co/5sb1cFlBQO

@hypersoren > they’ve spent insane capex on something customers don’t actually want

I find it very odd that Anthropic is placing these staff in 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴 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.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’re 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 hosts’ missions.

I'm teaching a class at the library this weekend for local employees to learn how to do their job 10x faster with AI.

@emollick This is literally just software engineering and design speech. It's very dense, but that's it. It's fascinating.

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 Much better. Thank you @grok.

@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?

[free range texan @SanSabaTech]

@steel_life @NatureUnedited @Gemini @grok can you answer his question. Thanks
