Watch for ChatGPT to follow soon. I wonder how related this is to the social media legal settlement. It wouldn't be surprising if they weighed the potential liability of serving minors and decided it wasn't worth the risk, at leas

I see, you'd prefer to continue the prior experiment of humans flying around corners in multi-thousand-pound vehicles, over the speed limit, while sipping coffee and looking at the radio?

Blame Amazon and the White House

There is no reason to have less trust in Anthropic. It's not clear they did anything wrong. It's more likely the White House simply tied itself in knots, consistent with the last year and a half of chaos from them.

Hooray! Glad everyone came to their senses and we can all get on with business. I bet it'll continue to be messy at the frontier for the foreseeable future as society gradually wakes up to the consequences of strong AI.

Maybe you mean that an expert will use more specific language which in turn triggers the model to give a response that more closely matches the "expert distribution" Anthropic published a study showing that Claude does more work f

Sure they exist but they're rare, difficult to identify and hire, and take years to train. Mythos/Fable is available on tap.

What an amazing achievement by America's adversaries. The Trump administration lists Anthropic as a security risk and kneecaps its best model, despite the fact that compared to the other frontier US labs Anthropic is more transparent,

Oh, I agree distillation isn't stealing "outright" as in it's not theft of 100% of the model. But there's a reason they're doing it. I didn't say anything about Chinese labs innovating -- obviously they ar

I'll defend Anthropic. They are clear about the reasons for guardrails: prevent their models from doing harm in dual-use contexts including CBRN or by accelerating research in authoritarian-backed AI labs. What is the critique against

That’s for future unreleased capabilities and models, not the model released today. They did the same thing for gpt-5.1-codex-max (code name “arcticfox”), delaying its availability in the API and only allowing it to be used by monthly pla

I hate to tell you this, but it might not be the full story that making search easier is "all it does." Why doesn't the macOS App Store game search include results from Steam? That would be a very consumer-friendly thing for

Yeah, it's ok, can't win 'em all. Lots of negativity in this thread. Maybe people have a gut feeling that "Netflix buying WB" fits into the preexisting narrative about media consolidation, and they're reacting
