Anthropic is testing only making Claude Code available in their $100/month or higher plans.

Another sign that we’re hitting the Uber moment for AI tools and everyone’s stopping subsidizing tokens.

With data center capacity at a premium, they don’t need to attract more users. It’s monetization time

This is a fine acquisition

“… as a sign of disrespect to the man.” This is the essence of the thing.

Disrespect the man. Because then we disrespect the cynical and hostile philosophy he represents, his venal acolytes and grifters, and most importantly, the cultural sect that bore him.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Pope Leo:

Good point

Jesus autocorrect. SIMULATIVE

THANK YOU OMG.

I would add “stimulative,” but still. I work in this business and freaking nobody ever makes this point.

Great fuckin job here

My view is that this will be equally true of #AGI. In fact AGI is just going to be AI 2.0 … and AI 1.0, as I like to say, is certainly artificial but definitely not intelligent 10/10 FIN

In other words, #physicalAI demonstrates the same fundamental truth of all of #AI: a digital modality does not replace the real-world modality 9/10

Prasun Raha, VP of Systems at @rivianofficial.bsky.social, said that “Before shipping an autonomy model, we run tens of millions of miles in simulation. But real-world driving is still needed to cover corner cases and validate safety.” 8/10

Suraj Gajendra, VP of Products & Solutions at Arm: “Energy efficiency, safety, security, and real-time determinism are major challenges in robotics compute platforms.” 7/10

Monica Xie, Head of Partnership at DYNA, says, “The robotics world can learn from AI’s scaling lessons—like managing 10,000+ clusters—but AI experts often underappreciate the complexity of making real robots work, especially hardware and control systems.” 6/10

I will add, this diversity means more diverse systems (and processors) are needed, which is why EDA vendors like Cādence are booming right now 5/10

Amit Goel, Head of Robotics at NVIDIA: “In #physicalAI, the data is multimodal—forces, friction, audio, contact—and orders of magnitude larger than text tokens. Training models to understand this complexity is a massive challenge.” 4/10

Mahesh Kailasam, Corporate VP of R&D at Cādence, asserted that #physicalAI is harder than other AI: “It’s not just about intelligence. You must build systems that interact with the world and account for how the world pushes back.” 3/10

Frank Ham of Cādence, the host, opened by pointing out why simulation is important for scaling up #physicalAI. “Physical AI isn’t just perception and language. A robot must see a door, grab the handle, rotate it, and understand the mechanics. That’s where simulation plays a critical role.” 2/10

I’m at CadenceLIVE, where EDA vendor Cādence Design Systems has been showcasing their software and libraries that help with the design all these new chips we are needing and using more and more lately.

Day 2 has this panel on #physicalAI and how to use simulation to speed its development 1/10

Brief 🧵. This is one of the best things #Qlik does. @ruchowdh.bsky.social is articulate, practical, and deep in #AI, and a founding member of Qlik’s AI Council. @jasondelrey.bsky.social is an experienced implications-of-tech journalist.

Another reason I miss going to #QlikConnect this year

“What if your brain was wired so that no matter what I say, you just believe it. Then you wouldn’t be having any problems at all”

Ah.

I only saw once a live narration over a (pre-produced) successively built illustration. It was a tour de force I will never forget

I love these kinds of posters, especially when animated. They animated while narrating, right?

This message from #Qlik is at least two years old

Anyway all of Trump’s actions are marked by their exceptions, not their execution

#Qlik is a good company and brand with good, thoughtfully developed data analytics products and tons of quite dedicated custovangelists around the world. Wish I could go to Qlik Connect again this year—and hope to catch a little of the @techfieldday.com action this week

Really useful example if you want to understand how AI really works and how it 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 work, … along with a glimpse into the dangers of agentic AI, which necessarily has action loops without human review. Short 🧵 h/t @stephen.fosketts.net
