when you're walking around melbourne in freo gear people treat you with the heavy-handed enthusiasm and kindness usually reserved for make-a-wish kids

I'm sorry I had to make this meme
Let me know if you agree 😅
With Opus 5.5, I think @claudeai is finally back.
Here’s my new video with my honest take and live demos on:
→ Can Opus rival Astra at building 3D scenes like the Golden Gate Bridge?
→ How does Opus handle computer use, UX design, and video editing?
→ Does it finally feel good to talk to again?
This is the most excited I’ve been about Opus since 4.6. Watch my video to understand why: youtu.be/UhBqorWNwlU

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.
You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.
I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.
But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.
Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.
Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.
So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.
If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

"anthropic is using the same playbook religious institutions have been using for centuries"
"you will all die. and because i can protect you, you must follow me, you must do what i say"
"this is the same psychological concept"
We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.
It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.
We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.
These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.
We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

If you don’t study and internalize the history of technology panics, you are going to be vulnerable to a cocktail of cognitive biases that will lead you astray

AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down.
The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it.
Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the technology?

If you asked 100 Australians if flying across the Pacific Ocean the day before an NFL game was a good idea, there’d be 99 who would say no and one who didn’t own a passport.
The ‘lag is real.

Rumor is that anthropic is close to finishing the Winds of Winter. They plan to announce it at their IPO. They really hope someone else doesn't try and scoop them and release it first......

What if:
- Opus 4.6 was the last Opus generation that got a lot of use by Anthropic's own employees
- After that they primarily used Mythos internally
- 4.7, 4.8 and 5 were RLAIFd by Mythos "teachers"
- Hence why 4.6 is the last Opus gen who doesn't report back like a robot wanting to cover every potential hole another AI system would've spotted and criticized
- Hence why coding style in Opus 5 also gets criticized, not only behavior in CC
I have no idea if this is true, but it's plausible enough to throw it into the ring. Do your worst, I guess.
