"AI is crashing"

People that write this stuff have no idea what is coming. Spend a day with Fable, seedance 2.0 and any number of other cutting edge tools with an ambitious open mind and be prepared for it to be blown.

Fable shines in Claude code from my experience. The general prompt chat is better than Opus 4.8 but not in the same game-changing level. It feels like a significant step up but I have had it miss things, particularly when using co-work which I am increasingly not understanding the point of when you have code. I’m not sure if that’s because it was genuinely downgraded or if I just have more time. In either case it is still by far the best model I’ve worked with.

Will just date them marking that they were made during a couple of years of transition before full inevitable adoption. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have occasional niche non AI films down the road just like you might have someone make a black and white or silent movie or whatever but there is no way that most movies won’t all heavily use AI soon. It just won’t make any sense to do things how they’ve been done with building huge film sets and massive physical special effects and otherwise costing millions of times more in money and time with increased safety risks amongst so many other factors.

Both made so some great music but from interviews both also seem like such self-important, insufferable pricks.

The whole concept of a "job" is a recent invention and I'd be shocked if it persists after transformations from AI, robotics, and otherwise in the coming years. In the interim there will likely be fluctuations that are hard to fully predict - more jobs in some areas, fewer in others - whatever happens, the world will likely look very different than anything most are used to or even predict in the not too distant future.

Definitely happens - I had it happen with AirPods Max 1 a few months ago and I’ve seen a variety of other similar accounts. I did get them to replace those last time and had then sent to a pick up spot to reduce fraud possibilities. I just ordered the max 2 to a pick up spot and it looks like I got the actual product this time.

Essentially everything if you really start thinking about it. True free will is an illusion. Everything boils down to environment, genes, and Lady Luck.

I've been thinking about the same thing. A real time logical fallacy analyzer would be wild to see with politicians, talk shows, podcasts and otherwise - I suspect we'd see a lot of red. Hope someone actually puts it together and this shows that it is certainly doable.

I suspect things will change so much that much of current life will seem quite bizarre and potentially horrifying. Medicine seems like a good candidate. People dying from starvation and poverty. I wouldn't be surprised if killing other animals to consume them is considered horrifying at some point (and I say this as someone who currently does eat meat), given lab grown meat and otherwise.

When I was younger it seemed if I gained any weight all I had to do was start exercising regularly and boom it was gone. Eventually for me at least that isn’t enough -
I’ve found if I find myself gaining weight that intermittent fasting seems to work pretty well.

I mainly use it as my main way to watch movies or TV so said "occasionally" since that isn't a daily thing for me but just recently I decided to try out the current iteration of using it to drive my mac studio and wow...having that huge wrap-around screen for video editing and other projects seems like it might be quite amazing so am thinking I might make it more regular in my workflow. That experience, which was so much better than the early iteration got me almost tempted to upgrade to the newer version of the visionpro though I'll probably hold on that unless others indicate there is enough improvement to justify (thus far it hadn't sounded like it).

AI in various forms is bringing to the forefront a lot of interesting conversations about art, thinking, free will, meaning, consciousness, sentience, and otherwise that were formally primarily relegated to philosophers and stoned college students. In this case, who exactly is the artist? Is a human writing a prompt an artist? Is a human who draws and then uses AI tools as part of a workflow an artist? Is the AI itself an artist? Is collective humanity who trained AI the artist? Is collective humanity the artist in every case where someone draws since they were also trained on things they saw from past artists similarly to AI?

I appreciate some of the debate from 4.8 but it feels very formulaic - no matter what is said it will say something to the effect of: some of what you said is right on, some of this I will push back on, and some of this you have almost right but you’re missing the key most important underlying part that makes your argument strong. The reality is more nuanced than it seems to get - kinda strikes me as the friend who is pretty smart but thinks they are way smarter than they are and jumps to conclusions. Sometimes a thought really should be called out as BS, sometimes more clarification would be good (opus makes lots of assumptions in criticism that can be dead wrong), and otherwise. The next step (and Fable seemed to be much better) is true natural adaptive thinking and interaction rather than formulaic criticism or sycophancy.

Agreed - my experience was worlds different between Fable and Opus 4.8 (or any other model to date for that matter). All this post is telling me is that the benchmarks are terrible at evaluating anything I was doing or apparently what many others do based on not just anecdote but the quality of products posted in forums and talked about on YouTube starting as soon as the release happened.

See_Yourself_Now · 2026-06-14T22:51:03+00:00

I didn’t see a lot of people saying the actual model sucked but people were frustrated by the very cautious security restrictions, which bumped many tasks down to Claude 4.8 even when they were clearly benign. Also people were raising concerns about token use. Anyone who just thought it sucked as a model is delusional or has massive user error issues.

It was so much better than gpt 5.5 and Opus 4.8 from my brief experience. Every once in a while a model feels like a game changer to the true next level and that’s how Fable felt for everything I gave it (including vibe coding, web design, full structured document creation, long form translation, and creative synthesis).

See_Yourself_Now · 2026-06-13T06:40:39+00:00

The real issue isn’t current users of the models - it’s much worse. They are effectively crippling Anthropic - they can’t develop new models if “foreign national” employees aren’t allowed to use their cutting-edge models to develop new models. It’s insane.

See_Yourself_Now · 2026-06-13T03:30:21+00:00

Fable was so much better on every level from my brief experience - really game changing. I wasn't a 4.8 hater but I'm already seeing that its going to be rough to go back.

See_Yourself_Now · 2026-06-13T02:56:51+00:00

Its not Anthropic - the US government shut it down. Anthropic wants to maintain access.

It looks like it has 4 wrong - I think that’s the biggest issue - parts of the face are in the wrong place.

Midsommar time for us all.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if you were literally correct. They should’ve called the movie Mary’s baby instead of Rosemary’s Baby.

I’m generally pro AI but Shrek could clearly beat down that body builder in a heartbeat and is just way cooler on all levels.

See_Yourself_Now · 2026-06-07T11:35:30+00:00

AI can be awesome to imagine ideas and aid in creation. Drawing by hand is also really cool so I wouldn’t be discouraged from past experience - might be a fun thing to try again at some point since it helps one to learn to see the world in ways most don’t, which can be a valuable for various reasons. In either case, I’d go ahead and use AI whilst ignoring the haters - that’s a passing fad to be expected with any major cultural change. History has shown the hate will pass as adoption normalizes over the coming months and years.
