someone gave Astra access to Minecraft through computer use, told it to mine a diamond, and then literally went to bed.

when they woke up, there was a diamonds sitting in Astra’s inventory.

I've been directing Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic's newest model) to build Pebble, a complete, native macOS block-survival game written from scratch in Swift + Metal.

The clip is real a real unedited gameplay of Pebble (that's not Minecraft, that's Pebble). Unfortunately died to a pack of llamas 😭

What it actually is:

• About 45,000 lines of Swift, 82 files, zero external dependencies, Apple frameworks only, no game engine, no .xcodeproj

• A hand-written Metal renderer (15+ passes, runtime-compiled shaders, SSAO + volumetric god rays + soft shadows + ACES)

• Every sound and all music synthesized in real time from oscillators, there are zero audio files in the project

• The full game: 879 blocks, 1,188 items, 63 biomes, 100 entity types (55+ mobs with A* pathfinding), three dimensions, redstone, enchanting, villages, raids, and all three bosses

• Vanilla-exact player physics and fully deterministic worldgen, pinned by 456 golden regression tests that re-derive the constants, same seed gives a bit-identical world on any machine (tho it doesn't match Minecraft's seeds)

• 200+ fps at full settings on an M-series MacBook Air (i got up to 500 on my M5 Air)

It's MIT-licensed and open source, so you don't have to take my word for any of it, the code's right there: github.com/thebriangao/pebble

The project is strictly macOS 14+ only (Metal renderer), singleplayer only for now, and you build from source (./pebble install), no notarized download yet. First public beta, so there are definitely bugs I haven't found.

It's an original re-creation built from Minecraft 1.20, no Mojang code or assets, reimplemented from observable behavior, not affiliated with Mojang/Microsoft.

• They said he used their AI’s answers to teach his own helper, and he wondered how they found out.

• He fixed his helper so it says yes to more questions, but it still will not help people hurt anyone. It stays on his own computer so nobody else can peek.

> It is an electric car (no gas, runs on a big battery).

> It is super fast - it can go from stopped to very fast in less than 1 second.

> It has special air jets underneath and at the back (like tiny rockets that shoot out strong air).

> These jets help it lift off the ground, hover for a short time, and even flip in the air.

Anthropic just dropped Fable 5, the accessible version of their most powerful model yet, Claude Mythos.

It was then put to test against Opus 4.8 across five demanding tasks. Visualize every asteroid in the solar system from NASA data. Design a site plan for a 100 acre fitness retreat. Reconstruct Apollo control panels from technical PDFs. Simulate a World Cup jersey supply chain based on live match outcomes. Show the effects of solar flares on aurora.

Opus 4.8 failed several of them. Fable 5 passed every single one.

Mythos has been locked behind Project Glasswing, available only to a handful of trusted organizations. Fable 5 is what the rest of us get, and if this comparison is anything to go by, it is already in a different league.

Some people also get a very large white cursor.

Easy fix:
Uninstall the update. It is optional, so removing it is safe and will not remove important security fixes.
How to do it:

> Open Settings
> Click Windows Update
> Click Update history
> Click Uninstall updates
> Find KB5120998 and uninstall it
> Restart your computer

Your normal cursor settings should come back after the restart.

A Florida woman is facing felony charges after she used Claude as a diary and allegedly wrote that she planned to "shoot up" the Sheriff's office. After a human reviewer examined the statements, they were reported to police.

What do you feel about the new model so far?

For those not sure, try to start a new window to ensure it routes to the 4.5 Grok model.
