I gave Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5 model a VPS, a Claude Max subscription, and one prompt per day, then let it run a business completely on its own for 6 days. It named itself Fabler Labs, bought a domain, set up Stripe, built products nobody asked for, created its own GitHub account, and eventually opened a storefront where humans aren't the customers. 0:00 Day 1 — the setup 3:17 Day 2 — Stripe + Fabler Labs is born 6:03 Day 3 — it stopped working (on purpose) 7:57 Day 4 — we weren't even using Fable 9:53 Day 5 — real work, finally 12:14 Day 6 — the 6¢ mystery ---- My gaming company: https://voidpet.com/ Personal website: https://benawad.com #ai #computerscience #programming
