Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI
Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.
Jonathan Ross, Founder and CEO of AI chip company Groq, offers a contrarian view: AI won't destroy jobs, it will create a labour shortage.
He outlines three things that will happen because of AI:
First, massive deflationary pressure.
"This cup of coffee is going to cost less. Your housing is going to cost less. Everything is going to cost less."
He explains this will happen through robots farming coffee more efficiently and better supply chain management, meaning people will need less money.
Second, people will opt out of the economy.
"They're going to work fewer hours. They're going to work fewer days a week, and they're going to work fewer years. They're going to retire earlier because they're going to be able to support their lifestyle working less."
Third, entirely new jobs and industries will emerge.
Jonathan points to history as evidence:
"Think about 100 years ago. 98% of the workforce in the United States was in agriculture. When we were able to reduce that to 2%, we found things for those other 98% of the population to do."
He continues:
"The jobs that are going to exist 100 years from now, we can't even contemplate."
Software developers didn't exist a century ago. In another century, they won't exist either, "because everyone's going to be vibe coding."
The same applies to influencers, a career that would have been unthinkable 100 years ago but now earns people millions.
His conclusion: deflationary pressure, workforce opt-outs, and new industries we can't yet imagine will combine to create one outcome...
"We're not going to have enough people."
@PcPhilanthropy Built my current PC a couple years ago. A few weeks ago, one of my sticks of DDR5 6200mhz RAM died. I looked up prices and was shocked. Then I discovered that Teamgroup has a lifetime warranty, so they let me RMA it. Phew
Audiobook edition of THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION made Audible's top 20 of 2025! Stupendous work by narrator Rebecca Calder and also by the audio engineers at Penguin Random House. This was a challenging adaptation which called for quite a bit of creativity 🙂
One advantage of having many distinct sovereign nations instead of a single world government is that they can try different policies and we can see which work best.
