⚡ Today's Fight
Economists: The math on the AI boom isn't mathing
While everyone's drooling over OpenAI's IPO and Anthropic's new model, a Wharton/NBER study is sounding the alarm. To justify current capex, AI sector productivity needs to grow 2.7x faster than it is right now. It throws the whole arms race into question, suggesting we might be building the most expensive bubble in history.
The Rest of the Field
OpenAI files for IPO and declares 'Phase Three'
OpenAI's aggressive growth strategy in the face of market skepticism is a bold flex that will either pay off massively or become a textbook case study in mania.
Argentina wants to create 'non-human corporations' for AI
Argentina's deregulation play raises serious liability questions when there's literally no human on the hook for potential disasters.
Today's Highlights
Lead Story
Claude's /goal command will change how you work
Anthropic's new /goal command turns Claude from a glorified chatbot into an autonomous worker that grinds through tasks while you sleep.
Read more →Anthropic is calling its new Fable 5 model 'Mythos-class', claiming it kicks off a new era for autonomous systems rather than just being an incremental update.
Fable 5 is the public release of the Mythos model that Anthropic once deemed too dangerous to ship because of its capabilities.
Top engineers are warning that agentic loops often devolve into 'slop machines', burning cash on hallucinated assumptions.
Use Fable 5 wrong and you'll hit hidden rate limits and torch your budget; here's how to dodge the traps.
The public version of Anthropic's Mythos model is already dominating every key benchmark, showing off unprecedented chops in complex reasoning.
