Too right from @Dannythefink politics is all about mood, creating narratives and persuading people in order to win arguments. We’d almost forgotten what good politics is until Burnham came along #earlydays
"Can I speak up for vibes?"
@Dannythefink says 'vibes-based politics' can bring real political advantages, as Nigel Farage has shown.
“[It can create] a group of people around you who really go out and fight for you.”

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

In more bizarre #Intervision developments, Russia’s entry Shaman addresses the audience after his act and says he asks the jury to disregard his performance and not assign him a score - the “rules of hospitality” dictate “I have no right to lay claim to victory”, he says.

The official timing website has finally updated, so we guess that's confirmed: Matthew Richardson 🇬🇧 is the first man to go under 9 seconds for the flying 200 metres! He records a time of 8.941 in Konya today, beating Lavreysen's previous record of 9.088.

As a new year begins, I have come to the view that this is the right time for me to move on from my role as President, Global Affairs at Meta. It truly has been an adventure of a lifetime! I am proud of the work I have been able to do leading and supporting teams across the company to ensure innovation can go hand in hand with increased transparency and accountability, and with new forms of governance. 1/4

This is totally crazy. Like if the operators of rubygems dot org just decided to expropriate the official Rails gems, hand over control to a new team, and lock the core team out of it. We're in uncharted and dangerous territory for open source now. What a sad sight.
