A user tests Claude Fable on classic AI-stumping questions like counting 'r's in strawberry and comparing 5.11 and 5.1, jokingly claiming AGI is achieved.
@FinanceYF5: Who decides whether AI should be stopped? Anthropic's answer: Without a global coordination mechanism, there is no solution. They plan to spend time researching a system that allows laboratories in different countries to mutually verify each other—because trust alone is far from enough.
Anthropic believes that without a global coordination mechanism, AI safety issues cannot be solved. They plan to study a mutual verification system for national labs, as trust alone is insufficient.
@AYi_AInotes: The most enlightening sentence I heard today - Jensen Huang said that people who truly know how to use AI are extremely high-cognition questioners. They ask questions with their own cognition, letting AI help them open the boundaries of the unknown, rather than letting AI think for them.

@FinanceYF5: Mira Murati said something very accurate: current AI models, when thinking, are basically deaf and blind—they can't hear what you're saying, can't perceive any new information. That's not how humans interact. Silence, interruptions, talking at the same time—these are all information. True human-machine collaboration requires "time-based interaction"—AI continues to…
Mira Murati points out that current AI models cannot perceive new information in real-time while thinking. True collaboration requires time-based interaction, continuously receiving and outputting multimodal information.
