@Austen this is americas biggest strength: soft cultural power. what other nation’s movies, TV, and music is internationally known. you could go to the middle of nowhere and they probably know Mickey Mouse, Michael Jackson, or spongebob squarepants

If you’re going to say America sucks at something it should not be entertainment. We have our weaknesses. Failing to make something a spectacle is not one of them.

@PhiloGroves fable was an elaborate distraction

Today is June 15.

@paytondev says a lot about the state of things that they’ve become a meme

i really want a Mistral comeback

@LexnLin poor @MistralAI

Here, hope that this is better

Odds of GPT 5.6 this week have plummeted on polymarket, with next week seeming most likely 👀

@tibo_maker my magic 8 ball says probably not. we’ve known their marketing and PR to be shit even before this, and they’ve already stepped on the toes of this administration. this has also hurt their valuation and looks bad for enterprise customers. its simply bad business

everyone thinks the US government bullied Anthropic into killing Fable 5 I think Anthropic wanted it here's my 5-part theory 👇 ··· part 1: Fable 5 was a hit it's the most powerful model Anthropic has ever put in public hands, and people jumped on it fast the problem is Anthropic has been compute-starved for the better part of a year. rate limits, peak-hour throttling, outages. they admitted it themselves in may and Fable 5 costs double what Opus does a hit product is a good problem for most companies. for a compute-starved one, it's just a bigger bill ··· part 2: Amazon found the jailbreak not some random researcher. Amazon 🤔 the company that's both a major Anthropic investor and one of the clouds running its models they found the flaw, took it straight to the government, and the government told Anthropic to fix it or pull it ··· part 3: Anthropic said no they called the jailbreak narrow and said other models like OpenAI's GPT-5.5 can do the same thing they probably knew refusing would force a shutdown, which let them save face so the government hit Fable 5 with an export control and Anthropic had to kill it for everyone a company refusing a safety request right after filing for an IPO is not normal behavior unless losing the model was never really a loss 🧐 ··· part 4: they were already rationing it before any jailbreak, before any of this, Anthropic had announced Fable 5 was coming off its subscription plans on june 23 their words: they'd put it back when "sufficient capacity allows" plain version: they were bundling their most expensive model into existing plans at no extra charge, which is brutal to serve at scale the shutdown just took it the rest of the way, eleven days before Anthropic was going to limit it themselves ··· part 5: the victim becomes the hero "we can't serve our own flagship" is a humiliating headline "the government is censoring us" is a different story and remember, days before launch Anthropic was publicly calling for a "brake pedal" on frontier AI and saying labs should have the option to slow down. then they shipped their most powerful model ever now they get to look principled instead of broke. good guys branding again ··· so here's the whole thing: Anthropic was going to ration Fable 5 anyway the government handed them a way to do it that makes them look brave instead of capacity-strapped this whole thing can be looked at as Anthropic buying itself time on compute, without ever having to admit it couldn't keep up with its own growth they didn't fight it because they didn't need to I'm not saying they staged it. I'm saying it worked out a little too cleanly 🤷🏻

@ericgkrehbiel yes all of those enterprise customers will stop paying because of some model most orgs didnt enable for their employees

Anthropic is going to start hemorrhaging revenue tomorrow btw

@JoePro yes i can't wait for the remarkable todo apps and AI food calorie apps i will (unironically, mind you) build

I can't wait for the ban to be lifted off Fable 5. So many remarkable products will be launched. My feed is flooded with people who almost can't work without it. Surprised there isn't a loop to fix the inadequate models. Hang in there all.

@argofowl polymarket says no, but liquidity is poor 🤷‍♂️

fable 5 back tomorrow? 👀

@Haniel_Ulises because half of that shit only exists on here to serve as engagement farming

why does everything in gen ai development sound so cringy and soulless?

4-5 months ago the discussions around AI were so positive on here. Everything really has soured.

every single ai influencer on the planet is asking opus 4.8 to author a tweet about running local models

@robinebers So many of the "AI" accounts on here reek of a similar energy during the crypto grift era on twitter.

found another one look at that ranking lol

the amount of pure fucking anger im seeing over fable is unreal. must’ve been a great model

fable != mythos. i never once heard any Ant employee call fable dangerous. does no one remember all the guardrails everyone lost their minds about.

never forget that encryption algorithms once had the same export controls as ballistic missiles and torpedos

anthropic clearly still has the mandate. all the people on here losing their marbles over how they “did it to themselves.” If the model was shit, no one would care. but yet here you are complaining on twitter

@JustinPerea @WillManidis @Teknium this is AI twitter! if we knew how to read we wouldn’t be here!

@WillManidis @Teknium All of twitter just loves taking snippets and ignoring what's actually being written in the full post.

Dario (48 hours ago): “US gov should be able to block model deployment” USG: *export controls models* Dario: “not like that”

@ClaudeDevs AI discourse on twitter:
