It's a shame they didn't mention the use of AI and how they used it. It's impossible to make such changes so quickly without a swarm of agents.

That's quite funny, I'm also working on a similar project, but I plan to release it as open source.

We agree on MCPs. They're going to become indispensable.

And that's the end of Homebrew for me as a user. I like the app, but my old Intel MacBook apparently can't handle it anymore.

I'm back to the old installation methods !

One might think they will slow down the development of new models at Anthropic, but Dario does not really mention that in the text.

This certainly looks like a way to slow down competitors and regulate foreign and open models.

It's always about money

Rather, concerns related to user identification combined with copyright issues

I don't believe it, but I still haven't seen any in-depth discussions on these issues

Most critics of watermarking have no idea how it works. Yet there are valid arguments against (and for) it, but they prefer to be misleading

New comment by basedpolymer in "Stop Anthropomorphizing Intermediate Tokens as Reasoning/Thinking Traces (2025)"

basedpolymer — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:26:35 +0000

The anthropomorphization of LLMs should be discouraged as much as possible. It perpetuates bad practices and encourages the use of these bots for tasks they are not intended for (particularly as chatbots).

Thinking traces should be treated as black boxes. There is no point in reading them. Only the LLMs’ conclusions are relevant. This is particularly true of Opus 5, which employs reasoning that seems highly questionable but very often reaches excellent conclusions (compared to its peers)
