I'm rather scared of US models - if Anthropic was the only AI provider in the world, it's easy to see that common people would have no access at all. Thankfully there is OpenAI which compete 1:1 with Anthropic (at a slightly lower cost) but most importantly the Chinese models keep Anthropic, but also OpenAI in checks.
And I'm saying this as someone working for American companies.
that benchmark seems to match my experience. GPT 5.5 is significantly better than Opus 4.8, last time I tried composer 2.5 it was truly dumb, and Fable to me looks to be on par with GPT 5.5 but .. different overall ... The best is to have a LLM-peer-review between GPT and Opus (now Fable) for best outcome.
Looks a little bit sensational and .. very much misleading
1- The largest donor, a16z is certainly invested in Crypto, but that's a venture capital firm, not crypto firm.
2- Fairshake PAC is basically a Crypto PAC, so it's obvious that Crypto firms are funding that PAC, right. I quote Wikipedia:
> Fairshake is a Super PAC funded by the cryptocurrency industry that supported pro-cryptocurrency candidates in the 2024 United States elections.[2][3][4][5] Major contributors include Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz.[6] Fairshake spent nearly twice as much on Republican candidates than on Democratic candidates.[7]
That PAC doesn't look like they are ideologically oriented, they just care about whether a candidate is pro crypto or not, whether it's dems or reps.
3- Leading the Future is not even a Crypto PAC at all, it's an AI PAC
Yes, this is actually "funny" that Anthropic feels the need to build such intrusive features into Claude Code, when anybody can build a (basic) Claude Code alternative. And the Chinese labs are certainly not "anybody". One may wonder what Anthropic really tries to achieve aside from awful publicity.
Maybe not when answers will be almost instant, but the biggest gap to me now is latency, not capability. Having to wait for 5 minutes and more for an answer, I can switch to another project / feature / etc. and run work streams in parallel.
There is no money made from these people though .. people who are using ChatGPT to plan for their next week-end or their next vacation aren't paying a $100 or $200 monthly subscription. As for non coder office workers (accountants, PMs, etc.), they use Microsoft or Google products which all integrate AI to some extent within their products - with RAG for Sharepoint to some basic AIs to generate text or automate work in spreadsheets .. the models used there are already capable enough for all what's needed (I think Microsoft is using GPT 5.1 or 5.2 in its latest iteration but for sure no GPT 5.4/5.5). The thing is, Software development is where money is made for these labs
That's hardly a speculation that he cares very much about the stock market, more than any of his predecessors. It's also why he takes a L instead of going into an adventure in Tehran. Last but not least, "it's the economy, ..." is on everyone's mind, including his
Delaware is expensive and you must have had a very specific reason to build your LLC there, rather than for example in Wyoming - such that to raise capital, build a corporation, etc. Now if you want to shut it down in a couple of years, it's not exactly clear what you had in mind.
> He obviously goes over the line, he tried to put GPS trackers on the cars of ministers. He "stalks" their families, and dox their children online.
I agree with you that he goes over the line, but only if these ministers are totally unrelated to the measures they are trying to impose on the population. If not, he just gives them a taste of their own medicine.
But I came here too, to understand what it is about and we are probably just not the audience :-)
Now, I'd be curious to know how good these devices are and/or how insecure these RFID chips are - because 500 USD is quite cheap for a device supposed to impersonate you or open your car or your hotel room.
With GPT 5.5 on the $100 plan, it's hard to hit any 5h/7d limits - while allegedly being better than DeepSeek 4 pro. Not sure why, or how you spend "a few hundred dollars of spend".
With that said, I still had the Pro plan on Claude, I didn't expect much, but it blew up my 5h allowance on Fable with one simple single prompt, and it didn't even complete lmao
> If you bet against the hype and it goes on for a few more months/years you lose as much or more than if you went along for the ride.
> Burry is well aware of this ...
Well, no he isn't well aware of this, apparently. He's been right in 2008 but he has been spectacularly wrong for the last 5 to 10 years, like shorting Tesla or Nvidia at the worst possible moments - and eventually closing his hedge fund...
On the plus side, their database has still not been hacked .. like it has happened one month ago in France, with the "ANTS" (the French equivalent). More than 10 millions people had their data leaked including pretty much everything from SSN, to email, phone, etc. A mine gold for Phishers and Scammers.
This is an uncommon design for a Ferrari, but this a very common design for commoners. What is more common than a Nissan Leaf? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf
> With an insurance this trick won't work, because the insurance company will notice what you are doing
This has worked well millions of times (and occasionally failed too with people ending in prison or with huge fines). Where I can agree however is that Polymarket makes that much easier.
