Idk why anyone thinks there can be AGI and alignment, seems almost like an oxymoron to me.

ASML sold nothing in Europe in 2026, they would implode if they stopped selling to US companies

> the only way to have influence on the pace of the race is to be one of the winning players

Yeah I don't buy that, every additional player is just adding fuel to the fire.

Would the cold war be "safer" if it were US, Russia and a 3rd player? Of course not, it would just make it harder to coordinate any safety measures.

So they care more about being 1st place than slowing down the race.

If they're trying to slow down AI progress why did they release a new model? What's the rush?

That's just false.

Less companies involved means less pressure to go fast.

What happened to "slowing down"?

If it works but the design is terrible - is that still success?

But I assume students already aren't allowed to just submit genAI output and afaik most classes don't involve computer use, so what's really the change?

I don't understand how come monorepos never just got "solved", and why git didn't expand in that direction.

I switched from a company with a monorepo to one without, and it just feels like going back to the stone age.

I feel like almost every standout product in the world was a result of someone with good instincts and not the results of XFN communication.

Unfortunately it is still the job...

Moving resources within an organization isn't exactly robbing.

> A fourth person familiar with the matter said that while Central Command — which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East — has nearly used up the land-based missiles it had before the war began, it has been able to reload from U.S. military supplies elsewhere in the world.

The title seems fairy inaccurate

I was using Opus 4.6 until 2 days ago with no CLAUDE.md or anything and it was great.

Tried out Opus 5 and it's been a super annoying experience out of the box.

You really think they saw the jump in arc-agi-3 (which they reported in their official card), and didn't even bother to check?

They maybe have not intentionally benchmaxxed, but they certainly know that's what happened .

And what in the deal will stop them? It's a deal about nuclear capabilities - the previous deal certainly didn't prevent their conventional armament.

So again, let's say the agreement doesn't hold - how exactly is that worse than before?
