My view on Anthropic is that they're fundamentally good, well-meaning people trying to do their best. But the telling part isn't that they fixed the invisible safeguards - it's that 'tell the user' wasn't the default in the first place. Nobody in the room thought people were owed notice that their outputs were being quietly degraded. This is the product of a belief, mostly unspoken externally, that they're the adults in the room - that everyone else is either misguided, a threat, or lemmings who need to be led. And it's driving them, without meaning to, to dismantle the principles of open knowledge and open science that made AI progress (and their own company) possible in the first place. The unspoken premise underneath it all: only they can be trusted to reach AGI first, to constrain everyone who'd do otherwise, and to walk us down the golden path. History's verdict on people who believed that has never been kind.






yeah really tough decision who to believe > the adminstration that supports pedophiles, nazis, genocide and insider trading > or the guy with a PhD from Princeton who built AGI if you believe a single word the Trump admin says you really have 0 cogsec





Ilya was right and predicted much of this


@ashleevance Stop spreading propaganda and start doing a journalism like you're supposed to do. Chinese hackers were reselling these queries. You can literally find the Discords on Twitter where not just Fable but Mythos queries were leaking to.

None of this was some weeks long back and forth. I was at Anthropic's HQ on Friday reporting when this all unfolded. Dario is not at a wellness retreat. The Feds seemed to be scrambling to try and make an example of Anthropic again. This is not technical. It's petty.

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.

Three months ago, @DeptofWar kicked @AnthropicAI out of our building—forever. Every passing day proves why that was the right move. 🇺🇸
