Well, we will always have that first half. Most would have taken a round of 16 berth, so this feels like a success. But damn that first half gave me hope. Hard to beat Morocco without your best player. Plenty to be proud of. 🇨🇦 Congrats, Morocco.

as someone who has always deeply loved writing, got a literature major, and comes from a family of educators, working on this piece was pretty mind bending. the future of writing is deeply in question, and universities and students are scrambling to adapt. give it a watch!

Happy Fable 5 Eve, everyone.
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow. After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests. We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort. Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research. Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

Hmmm. If anyone knows Rick Rubin's Polymarket username let us know. If his insights are good enough for Jay-Z and Johnny Cash, then maybe he's worth copy trading.
Questions are everything. Because the people who never stop asking are the ones who find answers.

We unpack @elonmusk’s multiplanetary agenda for humanity in our latest video. To get into the SpaceX spirit, @slop_pig rented a Cybertruck, strapped a Starlink Mini to the roof, and wore a spacesuit. Thank you for chatting with us, @Erdayastronaut and @edels0n.

.@midjourney is in the spa and body imaging business now. The company says its first spa will open in SF in 2027, where spa-goers can try out its new radiation-free body scan machine, which it says is “in many ways superior to even MRI machines.” They say the first location will have 10 scanners “with the capability to do more body scans a year than all MRI scanners on Earth combined.” NGL, a sauna and a full-body ultrasound sounds like a nice Sunday.

The illustrious @slop_pig became a full-time clipper for a day to see if he could clip his way to a Lambo.
