Thought this was about the videogame series Fable and got quite confused.

    Marketing, marketing, marketing. It's just another LLM and the hype is just more marketing.

    Did you try it? In the few coding tasks I threw at it, it performed much better than Opus.

    I played with it at work for the afternoon when I noticed I had access. It was fine. Sure, it was an improvement, but it wasn’t so good that it could end the world. It was basically just more of the same for anyone familiar with coding agents.

    I tried it, had to VPN in to do so but I tried it. I gave it 5 tasks, it succeeded in 2 of them, rest were hallucinations. so...yeah...guess it's much better than Opus.

    rest were hallucinations

    I'm having trouble parsing whatcha mean here if they were coding tasks. The code didn't run? Ran but had 0 functionality? If they were non-coding tasks, then agreed, I didn't notice it being significantly more accurate. Though I did appreciate the larger vocab. I wasn't gonna be able to afford to keep using it once it went to API pricing anyway.

    sorry should have been more specific. it was a mix of coding and non-coding. 1 coding task ran fine, another one just didn't work at all. one was a basic walk through tutorial type task that was accurate, the others were hallucinations.

    Of course not. It's offline and my boss only pays for ChatGpt. I have used ChatGpt 5.4 and it's performance is fine. I have not used it for coding, but I did notice it being a bit more coherent. I am am not a poweruser though. I don't work with agents. I'm sure that makes it better, but I'm not willing ti pay for the tokens.

    I just use the web app, mostly to make self-contained html toys. During the brief period it was up and part of the general subscription, I asked it to make Terrace (the old board game from TNG) with very little help in the initial prompt. I kinda know how involved that task is, cause I manually wrote a Godot version back in '20. It nailed it with only minor fixes - 3D, reactive sound and visuals, a music score that is pretty chill, with Easy, Medium, and Hard levels of AI to compete against. I have yet to beat it on Hard. Opus couldn't touch that. I'm pretty sure the fed's response is simple retaliation against Anthropic for not playing ball with the DoD/W, but the capability jump was definitely notable. I saw someone liken it to the jump from gpt 3.5 to 4, and I agree, if not a bit more.

    Yeah, that sounds like just another LLM iteration. It's nice and all. Great technological innovationn. Very impressive. But is it wort investing billion upon billions of dollars? Is it worth breaking the chip market? Is it worth breaking the job market? Is it worth (possibly) causing a complete marhet crash when the bubble bursts?

    I feel like making ’90s-style t-shirts with ‘fix this code’ on the front and ‘this shirt is a munition’ on the back.”

    This must be a reference to something specific... Anyone knows?

    Personally, I think this is just another chapter in the conflict the DOJ is having against Anthropic because they refused to let their tools be used for war.

    They did allow them to be used for war. Anthropic's only red lines were autonomous weapons (technically still a ways off) and domestic surveillance (it was this one where a 'No' would have been relevant right now).

    It should really alarm everyone that the US gov is using things like the first ever declaration of an American company as a supply chain risk or calling "fix this insecure code" something requiring export control and IDs to verify citizenship of usage as a way to warn other companies to comply with their illegal usage requests.

    You're mostly right but I have a small correction (after getting the "red lines" burned into my retinas):

    • Anthropic only drew the line at fully autonomous weapons - aka the ones where the launch order would be their responsibility. Semi-autonomous ones (e.g. with a soldier hitting the "go" button at the end) were still a-ok
    • And they only refused mass domestic surveillance, i.e. targeted surveillance of locals (and of course mass surveillance of people abroad) was still on the table

    The author thinks the government misjudged Fable 5. The point is to hurt Anthropic for challenging Hegseth and for its stances that AI tools need regulation and should not operate autonomously.

    Im not sure what anthropic has control over, but wow do they have a marketing team that is just crushing it.

    They could have just released a new version but no, they convinced everyone this was the opening scenes of The Terminator and only they were the responsible ones.

    Also, their resistance to the military (performative or not) is likely earning a lot of points with software devs that I assume largely want nothing to do with the war machine.

    We have seen big tech with morals before, we know where this is going.

    Awww, look at Ms. Moussouris engaging in good faith as if the government made a boo boo and just need to be made aware to correct an aggregious decision.

    They know what they're doing and don't give a shit about the "real world" implications. I appreciate the effort but it is wasted.
