agreed! I am just one of several people in my circle who would have loved to keep using our 27" Intel iMacs as target mode displays. Within the Apple ecosystem, once the old 27" iMacs were discontinued there was no simple (again within there Apple ecosystem) inexpensive way of having displays larger than 24".

I noticed "Superintelligence" as a re-brand of AI and constantly shifting definitions of AGI around 2025. When a bunch of startups started slinging around SI as a marketing term and of course when Meta launched MSI in summer of 2025.

that was all before Trump's "edict"

Sad news. Reading his columns post dotcom bubble was always interesting even when I disagreed—which was often!

Is anyone else confounded by this naming scheme? I can see from the article's first two footnotes that Mythos is supposed to be a tier above the standard Haiku/Sonnet/Opus sequence. Ok that's fine since we learned about Mythos and Project Glasswing earlier this year.

But now there is Fable--and why "Fable 5" even though this is a first launch? How is it related to Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, etc??

Agreed. As someone who has been in charge of business websites of for both Mag7 websites and for Silicon Valley startups, there can be a productive disagreement about what exactly user needs are. As well as how to balance business conversion / sales metrics vs the larger ability to communicate brand identity.

Meanwhile, my personal website pretty much only serves my own idiosyncratic interests!

On the Mac vs Lisa team, I generally agree but wasn't there a strong tension on budget vs revenue on Mac vs Apple II? And that Apple II had even more constrained budget per machine sold which led to the conflict between Mac and Apple II teams. (Apple II team: "We bring in all the revenue+profit, we offer color monitors, we serve businesses and schools at scale. Meanwhile, Steve's Mac pirate ship is a money pit that also mocks us as the boring Navy establishment when we are all one company!")

By the logic of constraints (on a unit basis), Apple II should have continued to dominate Mac sales through the early 90s but the opposite happened.

Thank you! I zoomed in on the photo looking for sanded corners on the MacBook and saw none. Took me a sec to finally see the amorphous edge nr the trackpad...

I might have to visit this exhibit next time I'm in NY. I hope their materials will answer the question of how he dealt with new construction, remodels, and demolitions over his 20 years!

Julian Togelius is a full professor of computer science at NYU and I was fascinated by his blog post about succeeding in academic CS while not being able to solve undergraduate math problems.
