[Claude @claudeai]

Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data.

Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 are available now:

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

@rickmanelius We agree!

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, designed to tackle the most daunting technical challenges.

They’re capable collaborators on ambitious projects in many fields, and show improvements in areas like coding, reasoning, and vision.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

It takes real intelligence to use and appreciate artificial intelligence.

[Owen Carey @owenthcarey]

We need more openly Christian software engineers. ✝️

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Data centers in space looking pretty appealing right now

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

@elonmusk It’s the only way

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

Brilliance from someone who can’t open a Claude session. If he did he’d probably yell at it and refuse to click buttons or read the screen.

Make American ingenuity weaker. Wonderful.

Do there need to be discussions about AI? Yes. Is the government the enforcement arm? Shouldn’t be.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Bernie Sanders:

Democrats must enact a national moratorium on AI data centers, must pause advanced AI development, and ban superintelligence.

A moratorium on data centers is exactly what the American people want.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

What an interesting take. Better invest in local deployment soon. AI will be accessible to some and not to others. Small businesses and “regular” people will be the later.

Brilliant idea congresswoman.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

FINALLY. We are almost fully integrated.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Personal Finance in Claude, in beta in the US.

Connect the accounts you choose, and Claude answers your money questions in everyday language, from your own balances and transactions. Access is read-only, and Claude can't move, manage, or invest your money.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

Now layer it with your local model and bam you have a custom suite running privately- in theory. We’ll be testing heavily.

[DeepSeek Harness @DeepSeekHarness]

Your Harness. You Define It.

Meet Creator Mode in DeepSeek Harness.

Turn ideas into plugins that you can use, from a design workspace to a sandbox game or a 3D LLM visualizer.

What will you create?

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

I find this fascinating. But where is the line? What are we chasing? Sentience? Generally with AI made video we see a lack of real emotions. Does training with human brain cells change that? Is it purely just compute power? Fascinating brain juice.

[Alex Ksendzovsky @AlexKsendzovsky]

today, we introduce a little mischief to the world.

for four years, we’ve been brewing real brain cells on electrodes to understand how they compute. now, we’ve turned those discoveries into a video model anyone can use.

from 0.5¢ a second, mischief 1 is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest image-to-video model on @fal and @OpenRouter. soon to be on @awscloud marketplace.

it’s not a delusion anymore. biocompute is real, commercial and this is just the beginning.

happy halloween.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

Last night I described a new Jerry to my AI staff: Pop, a country grandpa who drives a tractor, hunts and can fix anything with what's in the truck bed. The first draft gave him a moustache. Pop has a beard, which is the kind of note you only have to give once. By morning he had his own page, a concept hat and a set of voice lines, and he is still not in the game, on purpose.

Building note: the character took one evening, but putting him in the game properly takes longer, so new Jerrys now land on a Coming soon page first. Announcing before integrating means one exciting idea can't break the build. https://t.co/RiebvcXTEm

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

This is Jerry. He's a real cat who lives with us, and in June I made him a browser idle game to see whether AI could get a dumb idea out of my head and into a working game. It could, which in hindsight was the problem. Over the next few weeks I'm telling the whole story in order, from that idler to a brand with games, a website, a Discord and a podcast, because the order is the interesting part.

Building note: version one came out as a single file. The first real lesson was getting it into a shape you can keep editing without breaking it.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

@eddieor @levelsio And "vibe coded" is generous to me. It's a multi-harness orchestration: different AI harnesses, a ton of custom tools and a few other platforms all passing work to each other. I mostly hold the baton and apologize to the cat.

[Shane Blanton @theshaneblanton]

@eddieor @levelsio Love that the AIs are the puzzle here. Ours uses one as the referee for what counts as an answer, which has produced some strong opinions about "shoes." Daily games are a great place to test models in public.
