thefounder··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
They need to fix Astra first. My main issue is with GPT in general is that unless steered it goes into building AI “sloppiness”/machinery that is not “needed”.

The good part is that this kind of behaviour also makes it good to find subtle bugs or debug issues that Fable/Claude just cannot get/fix even when you point it.

thefounder··on Unsurprisingly, Meta's new Muse AI agent blatantly ignores users permissions
something tell me that the vast majority of people will give all the permissions the agent ask but even more look for a bypass/yolo permission.

I say that from coding experience. You don’t want to approve 100 windows to get a task done. In the end the only “sane” solution for my setup was a dedicated machine just for the agent with Bitwarden for secrets and full access/yolo mode.

If you are concerned about the agent deleting everything make sure you have a process backing up the git repositories at least to a separate service/hosting and that’s it…for now.

So the solution is to have backups and a way to restore data…

thefounder··on OpenAI Feared "Optics" of what might appear on Hacker News
Let’s just pretend that “poor” people who die because of our stupid laws (even now as this AI clown show is playing out) do not matter while the billionaires running these AI companies get a free pass and it’s OK.

Fun fact: Kim Dotcom is still fighting extradition while these drama queens (I.e Dario) are lecturing us about how much access the peasants should get to AI models fed and trained with stolen IP.

thefounder··on The "$60 Gaming PC" – AMD BC-250 (2025)
So this is the future of the Nvidia B200 cards as well
thefounder··on Cerebras CS-4
With what? More debt? What will nvidia say?
thefounder··on Is Fable 5 Back?
Fable 5 would not allow this post due cyber sec risks
thefounder··on Anthropic's Safety Superpower
Exactly that’s what he wants and then there will be a loophole to close: open source models.
thefounder··on Anthropic's Safety Superpower
That’s really what Dario wants. Let’s hope he doesn’t get it
thefounder··on Making Claude a Chemist
Ok I may agree with this. Instead to ban it we should nerf it to the point it’s useless.
thefounder··on Making Claude a Chemist
Let’s ban this before it gets too powerful !
thefounder··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
You can’t ignore their continuous PR on banning open models and regulating everything AI. With Fable we also see how they want it to work: store the data indefinitely (30 days or more) and put restrictions on everything “dangerous” (I.e AI, IT security, biology physics ). I am pretty sure they would want to give specific access on different companies/entities and on differential pricing(I.e use regulatory to inflate their prices)

We’ve also seen how bad that works in practice(I.e making the AI useless for a lot of stuff including programming and Sysadmin ).

It would be okay if they just do their own thing but this Dario guy wants to enforce that enshitification of the whole industry. And that’s not OK because they have money now, power and influence.

I hope the gov will put breaks on Anthropic and regulate them just the way they wanted. The next best thing would be to ask them put restrictions on Opus as they did on Fable

thefounder··on Amazon CEO's talks with U.S. officials triggered crackdown on Anthropic models
Dario will start complaining again hoping they will be banned. Let’s hope this guy is flushed out asap
thefounder··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
It has been clear but it was never enforced. Now EU and UK was placed on the same level as China.
thefounder··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
No, Dario became too tiresome and annoying that someone had to do something. Personally I hope they ban Opus too. It will only provide more support for open models development. Compare Dario horror posts with this from GLM release: “ Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere.”
thefounder··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
I don’t see it as good PR for Anthropic at all. They did a lot of PR in that direction but now it backfired.

People/gov now think twice about relying on US ai products. I don’t think the investors are very happy with the place this landed either.

I think the right move for Europe and other countries would be to effectively ban US tech and follow the Chinese response to Nvidia (delivered personally to Trump: we want to build our own AI chips).

thefounder··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
I think this is the beginning of the end of US tech dominance. That being said I personally was not impressed with Fable at all. Apart from burning tokens like there was no tomorrow it behaved like Opus 4.8 and produced more or less the same output. In practice I think it was hard to use due the safety restrictions. With the shadow slop injector it was basically DOA but they changed that policy so at least it still had a chance.
thefounder··on Malware developers added nuclear and biological weapons text to to their spyware
Let’s stop posting on HN before it’s too late. The next “Show HN” will be too dangerous for the world. - Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO.
thefounder··on Malware developers added nuclear and biological weapons text to to their spyware
Fable 5 was a flop so I doubt Fable 6 will make it on the short list
thefounder··on How to automate Instagram engagements with computer vision (and get banned)
You start to wonder if that’s a good place to be present
thefounder··on The Future of Email
You can call it Secure-Email or RFC-99999
thefounder··on The Future of Email
To have secure email I think html /css should be dropped from email support and the inbox should work on an invite only basis. Basically you should pre-authorize the senders just like you add someone as friend on a social network.
thefounder··on MiMo Code is now released and open-source
There are very rarely original ideas or original products. It’s more about money put into that idea and the marketing. You could say that Apple copies and imitates just like the chinese. After all they wait for the others to pour money into the ideas and they just deliver a polished experience on top of the hard work others did. Yet people don’t accuse them of being imitators.I think people are mad at the Chinese because they do it for cheap and at an industrial scale on so many products/industries(i.e even food). To me they are a force for good competition.
thefounder··on MiMo Code is now released and open-source
What does it sound so familiar with some US business models? I mean all the big tech does exactly that plus Uber (if you call it a tech company)
thefounder··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
As we’ve seen with Fable, Mythos is more of a hype myth to justify the data retention and restrictions they added. Otherwise it’s just an incremental update of Opus. I can’t really say upgrade because the restrictions makes it a downgrade
thefounder··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
Mythos is at best an incremental upgrade of opus. The hype and PR was there just to justify the “safety guards”. Overall the Fable is a worse model than opus considering all the restrictions and risks not to mention the data retention policy.
thefounder··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
There is no middle ground to shadow bans while getting your hard earned cash. It is fraud/Nigerian scam
thefounder··on Show HN: FablePool – pool money behind a prompt, and Fable builds it in public
This is DOA. Claude will refuse to work on anything there or better just bankrupt the funding members while delivering slop(on purpose to doge their cyber operations )
thefounder··on Anthropic requires 30 day data retention for Fable and Mythos
Whatever retention policy they have it will be honoured the same way they comply with DMCA laws(I.e if we’ve got it it’s ours to train/use)
thefounder··on The Road to the WASM Component Model 1.0
Can I just say fuck JavaScript so we can stop mentioning this time and time again ?
thefounder··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
This what that Anthropic CEO has been cooking all the time with his safety BS.
