So Govt demand/compromise to get Fable back (and use newer Frontier Claude Code models in future) = you must allow your State ID data to be held by a controversial third party (Persona) that Discord parted ways with not long ago. The one super villain/ghoul Peter Thiel is a major investor in.

Advanced intelligence models have gatekeepers: not just cost & rate limits, now politics block it. One letter on a Friday evening & your productivity tool is turned off. Much as companies talk it up about developing AGI "for humanity" -- they're never going to put the tools directly into your hands.

That Musk lost isn't at all surprising, but really almost none of the players here were ever the best people to bring AI safely to the world, to say nothing of AGI. This was never going to be anything but a sideshow to where we're headed without proper legal / legislated guardrails in the yrs ahead.

Listening live to testimony -- much as I dislike Elon & know he likely loses this trial: Brockman / Altman appear cartoonish in many of these testimonies, making Dario Amodei & the Anthropic team look like the adults in the room. No matter who wins this OpenAI debacle trial -- everyone loses.

So, wait, we're back here again with Kimmel being possibly cancelled by ABC/Disney? Because Melania conveniently misinterprets a joke Kimmel made on THURSDAY before the fake/staged WHCD trauma-bonding event? Kimmel's joke was about Melania & hubby's age-differences, when he said "widow" -- idiots.

Claude Mythos: The superman exists, and he is from Silicon Valley. geekculture.com/joyoftech/jo...

The scene: A barren landscape where Doctor Claude Mythos, an orange glowing figure like Doctor Manhattan from Watchmen, hovers above the characterized logos of Apple, Google, Elon Musk's AI company xAI, and Meta.

Panel One: Doctor Claude Mythos: I am Doctor Claude Mythos! I am a new super-intelligence from Anthropic, too dangerous to release to the public!
The logos looked stunned and amazed.

Panel Two: Doctor Claude Mythos: I have analyzed threats to your OS’s and infrastructure. I’m here to help you defend against cyberattacks.
Apple: Thank god!
Google: Oh, well maybe you can help a bit.
xAI: Interesting, now give me your source code.
Meta, thinking to itself: Why would he help me? What’s in it for him?
Panel Three: Doctor Claude Mythos: But Cyberattacks are
not the primary threat. You are!
You’ve automated the exploitation of human attention so thoroughly that you’ve lost the ability to distinguish between progress and harm.
Your users aren’t customers anymore. they’re a resource being mined and refined. You know this. You’re simply past the point of caring.

Panel Four: The icons walk away from Doctor Claude Mythos, looking disgusted.
Apple: Unbelievable. I’m out of here!
Google: My Super AI will beat everyone!
xAI: F-YOU! We’re building our own superman.
Meta: We’ll burn it all down before we take help from you!

Doctor Claude Mythos, looking dejected, and sitting on a rock: So now we’ve become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

That show “Tehran” just had its season finale on Friday, right as we began our bombing— and they plotted it as if Iran was just barely-stopped from having a nuke. Guess they're set for going right into Season 4,with the whole show locked into current events.
