The Great Spin Up

Anthropic's Fable, Bernie's 50% AI stake, Post Work World, Charlie Munger's rule, Flash Company

Release of Claude Fable (Claude 5), the $1,800 NVIDIA DGX Spark that runs frontier models on your desk, and Anthropic's June 4 paper claiming AI now writes over 80% of its own code. That feeds the question: if smaller models already do 90% of what most people need, who is all this frontier compute actually for? We get into Flash Company, a 48-hour ideation sprint for three people sharing one AI, plus detours into vintage photo booths and a tool that turns getting deactivated from Slack into a party. The deep dive covers the post-work world — Jared Diamond calling agriculture the worst mistake in human history, the Minimum Viable Society paper, UBI versus network states, and a stratosphere balloon called World View.TIMESTAMPS
