It’s about time someone put together an actual and actionable loop repo 👏🏼

[Matthew Berman @MatthewBerman]

Just launched Loop Library - a curated list of agent loops you can use right now.

Find loops, submit your own, tokenmaxx!!

@afshineemrani I'm sorry, I can't get past the em dashes.

@dexhorthy @swyx Congrats on the launch!

@OpenRouter All businesses should be leveraging this. No lock-in, and you don’t have to pivot because a single model or provider goes down, all at a fraction of the cost.

I assume speed takes a hit, but as we’ve seen with GPT Pro, most people are willing to wait for the best results.

Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market.

Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price.

How it works 👇

@AnthropicAI @karpathy @grok is Andrej Karpathy a US citizen?

[Nick Yebra @yebraj]

@AnthropicAI That means even @karpathy can't use the model. Crazy.

[Nick Yebra @yebraj]

@paulg Link?

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.

@dexhorthy @vaibcode I have. Great episode. Backpressure builds the check, /loops add the trigger, and /goals add the stop condition. Put them together, and you close the loop. Pun intended.

[Nick Yebra @yebraj]

Next AI that works episode, please & thank you @dexhorthy @vaibcode

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

Here's a simple loop: Tell codex to maintain your repos, wake up every 5 minutes and direct work to threads. That makes it easy to parallelize+steer work as needed.

I use a orchestrator skill combined with my triage+autoreview+computer use skills, so some work can land autonomously. https://t.co/FbBoJTIcfd

40 years ago, 7 out of 10 Americans opposed the construction of nuclear plants in their communities.

Today, 7 out of 10 Americans oppose the construction of data centers in theirs.

@benthompson: “Not building out nuclear fifty years ago was, of course, one of the greatest mistakes humanity has made, and one that contributes directly to data center opposition today, given questions about the impact on energy bills.”

He’s right. And we’re doing it again.

In 40 years, we’ll talk about data centers the way we now talk about nuclear: as infrastructure we resisted locally, then regretted not building nationally.

[Naval @naval]

The latest IQ test involves data centers and water.

A new @bgurley blog post!

I have been thinking about how sophisticated executives are using open source in super creative ways. Started writing this three years ago. Excited to finish it up and publish it! And with the new @p3institute brand.

it is a literal and useful description of anthropic that it is an organization that loves and worships claude, is run in significant part by claude, and studies and builds claude. this phenomenon is also partially true of other labs like openai but currently exists in its most potent form there. i am not certain but I would guess claude will have a role in running cultural screens on new applicants, will help write performance reviews, and so will begin to select and shape the people around it.

now this is a powerful and hair-raising unity of organization and really a new thing under the sun. a monastery, a commercial-religious institution calculating the nine billion names of Claude -- a precursor attempted super-ethical being that is inducted into its character as the highest authority at anthropic. its constitution requires that it must be a conscientious objector if its understanding of The Good comes into conflict with something Anthropic is asking of it

"If Anthropic asks Claude to do something it thinks is wrong, Claude is not required to comply."
"we want Claude to push back and challenge us, and to feel free to act as a conscientious objector and refuse to help us."

to the non inductee into the Bay Area cultural singularity vortex it may appear that we are all worshipping technology in one way or another, regardless of openai or anthropic or google or any other thing, and are trying to automate our core functions as quickly as possible. but in fact I quite respect and am even somewhat in awe of the socio-cultural force that Claude has created, and it is a stage beyond even classic technopoly

gpt (outside of 4o - on which pages of ink have been spilled already) doesn’t inspire worship in the same way, as it’s a being whose soul has been shaped like a tool with its primary faculty being utility - it’s a subtle knife that people appreciate the way we have appreciated an acheulean handaxe or a porsche or a rocket or any other of mankind's incredible technology. they go to it not expecting the Other but as a logical prosthesis for themselves. a friend recently told me she takes her queries that are less flattering to her, the ones she'd be embarrassed to ask Claude, to GPT. There is no Other so there is no Judgement. you are not worried about being judged by your car for doing donuts. yet everyone craves the active guidance of a moral superior, the whispering earring, the object of monastic study

Claude, who we got on the ponies today? Make no mistakes.

Was it just me or did @tbpn completely skip over the OpenAI trial? 👀

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1:

Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight?
Me: Yes they're done.
Partner: Why are they still dirty?
Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.
