> Europe isn't against air conditioning

Simply not true for certain countries, notably France and Germany. This is well documented.

I don't understand how this is different from BPE tokenization.

I can't stand the word "incumbent" anymore. I have only ever seen it in election contexts.

Now that Claude is using it as a fancy shortcut to "current", it's everywhere. I even hear people who would never think to use this word say it in face to face conversations.

> Because Opus 5.5 is comparable to Claude Mythos 5.1 in biology and cybersecurity, we’re deploying it with safeguards similar to those on Claude Fable 5.1

According to their ToS, conversations flagged by the guardrails when using Fable are stored longer for moderation. That included Fable's guardrail for AI research. Moderation can mean a human looking at your conversation.

Does that mean that I can no longer trust Opus with not snitching my AI research to Anthropic either?

Yes. And in combination it completely rules out the suggestion that the Netherlands attack is some kind of local activist protest. (The France attack resulted in several grave injuries and could have just as easily resulted in dozens of deaths.)

Quite appalling to open a "journalistic" report by ridiculising the people you report on:

> Not since Socrates complained that the written word might make people lazy about remembering things has there been such an outpouring of angst against a new technology in the world of academia.

Intelligence is actually correlated with the ability to simplify complicated things. Occam's razor. Compression as comprehension.

This is really impressive. Can you say a bit about the underlying process? I'm guessing this is post-training qantization? Isn't PTQ also resource-intensive? (Ie might not work on any machine)

Not sure that's correct. You're replacing a simple visual recognition problem with something similar to the halting problem (but maybe less fatalistic, depending on the formalism you're working against ie DOM vs js).

Opus 5's language is just terrible
