    Peter Steinberger on Claude Code's new rule: you should build your own harness

    A post claims that around October 27, Claude Code pushed down a new rule named "tengu_heron_brook" via Anthropic's servers, and it cannot be turned off: you can build original games, but you must not recreate a specific existing game. Commenting on this, Peter Steinberger said this is yet another reason to use your own harness rather than one whose permission scope a company can change at will.

    ANTHROPIC IS CRACKING DOWN ON VIDEO GAME REWRITES 🚨 Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic’s servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook". There’s no setting to turn it off. The full rule: “Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user’s own designs and assets. Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.” Is this the end of game rewrites, modding and everything in between?

    Microsoft evaluates Copilot with synthetic enterprise data: from simulated tenants to real AI confidence

    Microsoft built the Industry Evaluation Data Generation Platform, which uses fully synthetic enterprise environments generated from public data such as O*NET, job postings, and SEC filings to evaluate Microsoft Copilot, avoiding the use of any customer data. These simulated tenants contain realistic organizational structures, meeting and email histories, can cover issues missed by general benchmarks, and have formed Copilot's first standardized evaluation baseline.

    Altman Responds to Math Community Doubts: OpenAI's Math Results Releases Will Not Stop

    Sam Altman said on the Cheeky Pint podcast that the public's right to understand how the universe works outweighs the impact of OpenAI's result releases on the math community, and that the company needs to improve its communication but will not stop releasing. He admitted that OpenAI's investment in math problems once got out of control, and said the company has hundreds of math discoveries beyond its published results that remain undisclosed; he also estimated that OpenAI has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on math problems, of which the Navier-Stokes solution cost about $10 million. The math community, meanwhile, criticized OpenAI's releases for lacking attribution, context, and verification, and also expressed dissatisfaction that details of results such as the Yang-Mills theory have not been disclosed.

    Anthropic Files a 335-Page S-1, With 94 Pages of Risk Factors Filled With "Miracles" and "Existential Risk"

    Anthropic filed a 335-page S-1 prospectus on Monday, including as many as 94 pages of risk factors; the founders' letter states that advanced AI could usher in an "age of miracles" but could also pose an existential risk to humanity. The prospectus also states that the company has a history of net losses, has taken on hundreds of billions of dollars in financial obligations to secure computing power, and will build its own data centers; the author notes that key information for assessing profitability, such as third-quarter results, is missing. Jay R. Ritter, a professor at the University of Florida, noted by comparison that Apple's 1980 IPO prospectus was only 47 pages and contained no risk factors.

    Apple Enters the "Cheap and Crappy" Era

    Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo developed screen cracking issues just days after launch, and the company subsequently announced a touchscreen laptop, which the author sees as relying on hardware gimmicks to stay relevant amid the AI shock. New CEO John Ternus previously led projects such as the Touch Bar and the butterfly keyboard, and in a Time interview he called other foldable designs "cheap and crappy." The author recounts, through personal experience, the reasons he switched to Android back in the iPhone 4 era.

    How TELUS Digital Used ElevenAgents Outbound Calling Agents to Cut Early Churn by More Than Half

    TELUS Digital built an outbound voice agent based on ElevenAgents that proactively calls customers who have just activated home internet, resulting in a 30-day churn rate for customers who received the call that is less than half that of new customers overall. The agent can disclose its AI identity, explain the first bill, guide customers to self-service tools, and remind them of bundle discounts, and can authenticate customers during the call via SMS verification code and read real-time billing data through an API. TELUS Digital selected ElevenAgents after evaluating options from November 2025 to February 2026 against five criteria: voice expressiveness, agent framework flexibility, real-time emotional adjustment, enterprise security and compliance, and response latency.

    Altman on the Sorrow After ChatGPT Conquers Math Problems

    Ayi AI Notes believes that after ChatGPT's new model conquered research problems tackled by top mathematicians such as Terence Tao, Deng Yu, Peter Scholze, and Wang Hong, OpenAI CEO Altman was so excited he lost sleep for two nights, yet at dawn he fell into sorrow, because the era in which humans rely on their flesh-and-blood brains to explore truth is coming to an end. The author is inclined to believe Altman's sorrow is genuine: admitting the sense of losing control as an era ends brings no benefit in terms of pure commercial interest, and this resembles the tremor John Collison mentioned when the last batch of Irish farmers who worked with horses were erased by industrialization.
