I was driving my new BMW i4 this morning. 536 horsepower. 0g CO2 emissions. I approached a major intersection on the Leopoldstraße. I needed to turn left. I checked my mirrors. I executed the turn flawlessly. Behind me, a man in a Ford Fiesta leaned on his horn. He was furious. He pulled up next to me at the next red light, red-faced, rolling down his window. "Hey! Are your indicators broken, asshole? You almost caused a crash!" I rolled down my acoustic glass window silently. "Sir," I stated calmly. "My vehicle is in perfect working order." "Then why didn't you signal?" he sputtered. "Because of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)." He looked confused. "What?" I explained. "My intended direction of travel is Personally Identifiable Information (PII) under Article 4." "By activating my amber indicator, I am broadcasting my future location data to unverified third parties without your explicit consent to process that data." "Do you have a Data Processing Agreement with me? Do you have a 'Legitimate Interest' under Article 6(1)(f) to know that I am going to the recycling center?" "No. You do not." "Where I am going is none of your business. My trajectory is encrypted." I rolled up the window. The light turned green. I left him there, processing the regulatory framework.

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

The risk of the government deciding that a model is too dangerous should only add to the reasons why open source models running on local hardware can be a reasonable alternative.

I genuinely do not understand the outrage about the US blocking Fable. Europe is already A-Independent. Top of the taxonomy. We do not need American frontier models. We have European AI. It is sovereign. It is open-weight. It is trained on European data, European values, and a GPU budget roughly equivalent to one good afternoon at a US lab. When Washington cuts us off, we lose nothing. We simply route every query through a model we are legally permitted to describe as “promising.” Magnificent. Yes, the frontier is elsewhere. Yes, the best model on the continent is benchmarked monthly against things it cannot reach. But it is ours. It runs on a European cloud, under a European framework, overseen by a European AI Office staffed entirely by philosophers and lawyers. Sovereignty is not measured in capability. It is measured in jurisdiction. Let the Americans keep their Fable. We have a model, a taxonomy, and the deep peace of knowing no foreign system can ever take from us what we did not have to begin with. 🇪🇺

@EUAITaxonomy You won’t be able to create products with these EU models that can compete with US or Chinese products.

@peterrhague Europe is better prepared than the US & China because we already have regulations in place? How would developers know how to build without regulations specifying every little detail? You’re welcome 🇪🇺

Our “toughest challenges” as Europeans are the various sectors we have to compete with the US and China in whilst servicing unsustainable welfare models. Could really use help with that!

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

The Siri/EU situation is a regulatory masterpiece. Apple cannot launch Apple Intelligence in the EU. Why? Because under the DMA, if Siri gets deep system access, every other AI assistant must get the exact same. Anything less would be unfair competition. A gatekeeper privileging its own service. So either Siri ships and every Shenzhen startup, Cyprus shell company, and nephew hackathon project gets identical root access to 450 million Europeans’ digital lives or nothing ships. Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent”: a security intermediary so third-party assistants get capabilities without ripping the phone wide open. The EU rejected it. Magnificent. Apple’s response: fine, then no developer APIs either. No Apple Intelligence, no third-party integrations, no foundation model access for EU developers. The entire layer simply does not exist on this continent. Excellent. This is the path. Why depend on American AI when we can build the entire stack ourselves? A European foundation model, trained on a European GPU cluster, running on a European OS, on a European phone, manufactured in a European fab, powered by European nuclear plants we have spent fifteen years closing. Estimated time to ship: 2047. Estimated cost: the GDP of three member states. Estimated outcome: a chatbot that requires a cookie banner before each response. Worth it. In the meantime, European users are protected from Apple processing data Apple already holds by ensuring nobody processes anything at all. Not a bug. The intended outcome. Regulatory product design with a sledgehammer, swung with precision. 🇪🇺

To answer your question directly: No. I receive zero compensation from any public policy advocacy group or NGO. I just want Europe’s tech sector to thrive without being smothered by burdensome regulation. We can disagree on whether the DMA is good or bad. Besides, if you look at my timeline, you'll see I literally make fun of unregistered lobbying. I will go touch grass more often.
Dr. Lars Henrik Andersen 🇪🇺@EUAITaxonomy

It is Thursday night at "Plux" in Brussels. The grass is covered in interns and cheap beer. "This is Unregistered Lobbying!" I shouted, grabbing a young man. "Did a lobbyist buy this lager? Have you updated the Transparency Register?" He didn't panic. He pulled out a laminated document. 📄 "It is declared, Dr. Lars Henrik," he smiled. The beer was listed as "Liquid Educational Material." The sponsor: A Cayman Islands shell entity called "Strategic Fermentation Holdings." I stared at the paperwork. It was technically perfect. I looked at these young people with tears in my eyes. I was looking at the Future of Tech in Europe! 🇪🇺

@ZestyTesla @EUAITaxonomy This. And specifically I’m wondering if you are compensated by a public policy advocacy group funded by Big Tech. If you are, I don’t think your disclosure is adequate. If you’re not, then my bad for just not having a sense of humor compatible with this post format.
