Negative Utilitarian 

An entity composed of flesh & stuff—like you. Learning, growing, advocating. Existentialist-Rationalist-Physicalist. Fallible.
Only human.

Haunting. Every once in a while like this, you will hear the collective cries & anguish of thousands of mothers.
Cries that are otherwise well-suppressed within the steel walls of these methodical abuse & killing systems built by us to kill 2500+ sentient beings per second.

[Liz Specht @LizSpecht]

Absolutely devastating. 18,000 burned alive.
Of course, the sound of animals being electrically prodded onto the kill floor at a slaughterhouse is similarly horrifying and heartbreaking... this incident just happens to be in the public eye rather than willfully hidden from our day-to-day awareness.

Kimi K3 on legal tasks is ~2x fable perf 🤯

The benchmark is from Harvey and involves hard autonomous legal work

Kimi K3 at 26.7%, vs Claude Fable 5 at 14.2%.

I resigned from Google DeepMind bc it broke its founding promise by selling AI to the military without restrictions against killer robots or mass spying.

For months, I worked to stop this but watched powerful ethicists and institutions choose silence.

Here's what happened. 🧵

Just telling people they slept poorly led to impaired cognitive function. Telling them they slept fine preserved it.

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting:

2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight

2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose"

Not one safeguard survived intact

Do people want to look younger, feel younger, or just want to have more time than they do?

[McGovern Institute @mcgovernmit]

McGovern neuroscientists have discovered that you don't need language to think logically. People with severe language impairments solve complex reasoning puzzles perfectly and brain scans show language areas remain silent during logical reasoning.

A lot of people seem to believe that if you sell your soul for power, the metaphorical devil will keep his end of the deal. But more often than not, you sell your soul and don't even get power. There's no rule that if you violate your principles in order to win, you then will win

Perhaps before being grateful for what you have, be grateful for what you don't have.

introducing state-of-the-art refusal rate model

[Claude @claudeai]

Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, scientific research, and vision.

The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.
