Ah so if I'm not coping then you think I must be 'preparing'? You think you can prepare for ASI? Really?

Yes with assist tools Fable was able to figure things out Opus 4.8 and ChatGPT 5.5 were unable to. Like significantly better.

I've seen Fable reverse engineer binaries like nothing I've used before - Fable/Mythos is far from marketing hype.

On top of that I think it's just stupid to think anyone in the marketing department at Anthropic has any part in the system card for a model. That kind of thinking just screams cope.

Anthropic's marketing is playing 5D chess. 4D was telling everyone it is dangerous, they knew the government would take the bait and shut it down.

Or maybe Anthropic isn't playing chess at all - these models sell themselves they are so useful and the Reddit/HN crowd is just full of larping tech bros commenting conspiracy theories non stop.

I find it funny that AI keeps getting bigger, and the mental gymnastics needed to trivalize the progress get bigger as well - ie the government shutdown an AI model twisted into now even the government is being tricked.

Everyone is tricked except me. Only I know AI isn't as smart as everyone thinks it is.

Welcome to the permanent underclass everyone! Get out your license and registration for access to the next gen nerfed model.

Reddit thinks this is all part of Anthropic's marketing. People can't get it through their heads that AI is actually going where all the trends have been pointing for years.

Same, there is massive potential here for groups in the public guiding agents and having skin in the game with their own money.

You know what, that is some pretty readable code.. COBOL might have been on to something there. I've gotten so used to syntax soup this is refreshing.

Sometimes I think about how much power I'm using with 10 Fable agents running in parallel for 10 minutes each. It's gotta be a lot. Compared to my PC which with a great GPU can run a crap agent that takes way too long and does a terrible job at everything.

Anyways, I don't get it, do you wish they never released Fable? I can't believe they're making any money on it. I'd bet they said we're gonna burn 100 million dollars on 12 days of unlimited access just to at least give people a taste and maybe recoup our losses if people actually pay for it later.

I'm pretty sure I have enough tech debt built up to last through the singularity. And AI somehow is only increasing the amount of things I want to do.

No idea, it’s for an old console game so maybe it doesn’t care about that as much.

I have that but don’t see any ‘pro’ option.

No, given it charged me the full amount in /usage and solved my problem impressively well compared to Opus/Codex both on xhigh.

I just ran it on a tough reverse engineering problem I'm having that neither Claude Code 4.8 or ChatGPT Codex 5.5 could figure out. 30 minutes later Fable has it all figured out perfectly.

Grok isn't at the front of the frontier, but they are there for sure.

Not really, the company reinvests the dividends, increasing the value of the company/stock.

The big difference is you pay taxes of dividends - you don't pay taxes on the stock going up year over year. Unrealized gains compound much faster than realized ones.

I get nervous releasing just symbols for a game and here is a full disassembly. I have no idea how tolerant the rights holders are to this kind of stuff. I guess you just roll the dice, but the power is in their hands how far they take action.
