Top post: @kimmonismus “A new, more capable version of Anthropics Mythos has emerged from training. In itself, this is nothing out of the ordinary. What else would we expect? That Mythos is already the end? Of course not. It's just the beginning. What's exciting here is the speed. Mythos was only made available on Project Glasswing on April 7th. Two months later, the next iteration. Two things remain unclear: 1) Will the new version also be available on Project Glasswing? 2) How much better is it than Mythos-1? 3) Will we get access with Fable 5.1 (or whatever it ends up being called)? Andrew Curran is one of the most reliable sources. This can be considered true.”

Top post: @levie “Hugely underrated point. You basically state this, but to underscore it: for most knowledge work other than code, the digital output is often an intermediary step in the value creation process. Comparatively, for code automation, it's literally is the equivalent of automating on the production line in manufacturing. But for most other areas of knowledge work, there's still a ton of real-world interaction for the ultimate value creation to occur. For a sales rep, automation gets them to the next stage in a sales cycle faster, but they still need to meet with the prospects and customers and have a compelling message and presence; in legal, the value is created only once the client and counterparty agree on deal terms after lots of back and forth; in life sciences, only when in real life medical trials and the drug works did the automation matter, etc. The main implication here is just that diffusion will be different than many anticipate because they're looking at coding as the proxy. One huge positive point here is that it's one of the reasons we're not going to be in the doomer timeline.”
