This was Anthropic Vision week where at DWATV, which caused things to fall a bit behind on other fronts even within AI. Several topics are getting pushed forward, as the Christmas lull appears to be over. Upcoming schedule: Friday will cover Dario's essay The Adolescence of Technology. Monday will cover Kimi K2.5, which is potentially a big deal. Tuesday is scheduled to be Claude Code #4. I’ve also pushed discussions of the question of the automation of AI R&D, or When AI Builds AI, to a future post, when there is a slot for that. So get your reactions to all of those in by then, including in the comments to today's post, and I’ll consider them for incorporation. Table of Contents Language Models Offer Mundane Utility.
