@kimmonismus said 'Anthropic is on a run', offered his guess about why Claude Code now refuses to recreate existing games, and flagged the new HLE-Diamond leaderboard and Subvocal's silent-speech glasses. He also passed on The Verge's report that Reddit's CEO says Google's AI Mode 'does not drive traffic', with Reddit's search referrals down by more than a million a week in October (Reddit's figures).
