Fable has been Anthropic's most ambitious and hopeful release. It makes me think Mythos isn't anything but Opus with certain guardrails removed. Very interesting. Hoping we'll see some quick refinements to it
It's been amusing to watch the AI trend of increasing unusual tool uses. Fable easily takes the cake. I learn a lot more terminal commands thanks to it!
AI impacts so much. So many white collar chores just get obliterated with AI. Legal & regulatory docs, production planning, sales materials, etc. Just yesterday I used AI to generate 235 new system docs based on our codebase, and added automated .md -> html publishing so final drafts go straight to the website. This work that would've taken a contractor 1-2 weeks got done in a day, by me, someone who definitely isn't a technical writer.
When the person who knows what's needed can handle the technical execution themselves, you no longer need that second person.
For PAX ERP. It'll be read by both humans and llms. "Paxy AI" will be the primary reader, which is the AI support tool in the system. When users ask it a question about how to do something, it'll answer based on the technical docs.
That woodworking idea is great. It's just a hobby for me as well but after long days of desk work where moving fast is rewarded, it's great to work slowly on a wood project with my hands. I tried listing a couple things on Facebook marketplace but I had never used it before so they just removed my posts.
Fun read! This is a good story to share. I spent over a year building a complex SaaS product for a narrow market, but it was something I personally needed and was interested in. It was a second full-time job as a solo developer, but the chances are if you are interested in something and find it worthwhile, others will too. It's worth it! Great work. Fun story. Thanks for sharing
I think quality experience and personal values are more important than engineer cost. I've seen so many shortcuts taken on outsourced work these past few years. AI also loves shortcuts. The combination of the two is not worth the cost savings.
If you value high quality work and pride in what you do, outsourced workers (who most often don't pay careful attention to their work, hence the cost) are not the solution. However, if you're just trying to get something done and don't care about it getting done right, what better way to do it than spending the least amount of money possible
I don’t think we should be discouraging people from buying homes. In a healthy market, the goal should be more households owning the homes they live in, not more homes being accumulated by investors and non-owner-occupant buyers.
The mistake is not buying a home. The mistake is buying too much home, stretching the term too far, and ignoring maintenance.
A cheaper house, shorter loan term, and realistic repair/addition budget change the math a lot.
I was in the same boat, moving my max subscription to Codex instead of Claude, with a Claude Design project going. I was under the impression that Design was pro plans only, so I downloaded basically everything before cancelling.
It could be worth a quick $20 subscription just to grab your stuff, then cancelling. Trying to get support from either Claude or OpenAI seems pretty hopeless. Hopefully this post will get them to see you
I think progressing as humans is something to be proud of. I care less about who gets credit and more about what we can now do.
I also do not think this makes people less capable of solving hard problems. The bar just moves up. More people can now work on harder problems with better tools.
If the goal is credit or proving real skill, then focus on harder problems, like ones AI can't reach
