Thinking OpenAI has some grand 3d chess move in the chamber is basically the same as thinking Trump has more than a 15 minute context window. There is no grand plan. They are scrambling dau by dau.

I've been using X for 20 years and I just discov...SHUT THE FUCK UP! Can't we mass block these simulacrassholes?

I think this is actually an interesting idea. We saw this with the whole AI photo wave, where people were generating themselves looking like influencers, traveling in exotic places, etc. I think we’re going to see something similar with videos. Appealing to people’s vanity is a tried-and-tested method. You’re going to see apps that let you become an athlete, a celebrity, an influencer, and so on. Swap yourself into a famous music video or a sports highlight reel. Currently, we mostly see these AI swaps with famous figures, partly because they’re expensive to make. But the hyperpersonalized version will come when it’s cheap enough. I tried this on myself with H3. It failed, but it got surprisingly close, considering how challenging the original video (an NBA sports highlights edit) was! teapawt.net/deepwhitman/status/209…

You can do so much with so little. Don't wait to raise. Don't feel you need to hire before getting started. Just build. We will have an explosion of multi-million and even billion dollar single person (with many agent coworkers) businesses.

Claude Fable 5.1 launched on September 1, 2026; Claude Opus 5.5 launched on September 22, 2026. The difference was 21 days.⁠ I think/hope we get Opus 5.6 within next 2 weeks.

My current stack: Fable 5.2 master orchestrator that leverages opus and sonnet as subagents. It leverages codex for image generation (yeah the great Astra is relegated to be an image model) It leverages Gemini Argon (now Carbon as of today) for video analysis. Other models for TTS, video gen use fal. Pruna is the only one I will reach for outside fal via replicate.

Tip for using Fable 5.2 without burning through your limits: make it the orchestrator. Add this to your session: “You're the orchestrator. Delegate everything except strategy, review, and final recommendations. Use Sonnet 5.5 by default, Haiku 5.5 for simple or high-volume tasks, and Opus 5.5 for the hardest problems. Have sub-agents return brief summaries.”

I'm not sure why Anthropic is pushing forward with their IPO in this uncertain climate? A delay of a few weeks or even months is not an indictment on their business model. They have more than 100 billion on their balance sheet so, in theory, don't have a cash problem. What is going on? Something's fishy, or maybe it's just a simple case of all the investors wanting their exit?

Am I the only one who gets excited when claude usage is at 99% and the task is going, and I'm just watching the screen, seeing what will give first?

Fable 5.2 + Pruna P-Video-2-Pro-Replace is cheap and powerful, not to mention funny. This whole clip cost about $1. Though I can't see Trump leaving as happily (on the surface) as Nixon.

lmfao Sayed's joke about calling it Trumpcare actually worked

Guess which stock I own?

I don't think Anthropic would have released Fable to us if it hadn't been for pressure from the markets. The alignment bro game theory was to never release if you're ahead. We would have been stuck with Opus 5.5 because OpenAI was too busy releasing vibe-coded Game Boy slop. But because Opus 5.5 was so good and efficient, ironically, it caused their revenue to go down as people could do a lot more with less. Fable will likely cause a reacceleration in revenue as consumption shifts toward more expensive tokens. God bless capitalism.

The singularity is a staircase. I suspect Fable 5.2 will be another step so reposting this in case you find yourself being surprised at the capability jump for the 15th time.
