Trust your instincts. You owe nothing to no one.



I’ve warned for months that America would soon restrict access to state of the art frontier AI models for national security reasons. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED. Thanks to the catastrophic energy policies pursued by the Tories and Labour, Britain has virtually ZERO sovereign AI capability. Now we will be cut off from the most powerful AI models, and will soon end up being TOTALLY AT THE MERCY of China America and others who will be able bring to bear intelligence capable of defeating all our security systems in short order. WE MUST CHANGE COURSE NOW


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.

Antisemitic Cornell student turns down interview because he's 'not interested in working for a Jew' trib.al/NRIMqqR

NEW: Inside the 24-hrs before WH slapped export controls on Anthropic - Last Thursday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raised concerns about Fable jailbreak to Trump admin - Friday AM, Sean Cairncross, Bessent, Susie etc. held WH call to discuss - Then White House started reaching out to Anthropic to speak with Dario Amodei, who was at a wellness retreat. - When Amodei was finally available past 1pm, he had three tense phone calls with a combo of ppl including Cairncross, Bessent, Lutnick, Kessler, Will Scharf, Richard Walters, and Walker Barrett. -Amodei tried to clear up what he assumed was a misunderstanding. He defended the guardrails and distinguished between universal and non-universal jailbreak - Cairncross and Bessent were unmoved and asked Amodei to take down Fable and work with the admin to fix the vulnerabilities. (A WH official said Amazon’s findings were run past the NSA and they felt they had “proof.”) - Amodei asked for more time and info, but he made no commitments to pull the model - Bessent told Amodei directly at one point that he was making a “bad decision” - By Friday evening, the Trump admin imposed its export controls. - “Export controls were a last resort after begging them for hours to work with us,” senior WH official said.

Cornell student Austin Franco was doxxed by Jewish business leaders after explaining that he “didn’t want to work for a Jew,” claiming his experiences with Jews were not “pleasant,” after a NYC startup he had applied to reached out to him three times. After one of the cofounders, Gabe Einhorn, posted Franco’s reply with his last name blocked out, Franco was quickly identified. Einhorn said he did not “want to ruin his life,” but wanted to “raise awareness” of antisemitism. Franco, in a now-deleted post, said that in his personal and professional experiences, Jews were tribalistic and vengeful, and tended to ruin and bully others who opposed them. Franco stated, “I am sure that if you indicated you didn’t want to work for someone who was White or Christian this would not have blown up…” Franco claimed that the actions by Einhorn and the Jewish community, posting his reply, doxxing him, and then trying to investigate and uproot his personal life, vindicated his concerns that Jews do not work with others politely.

Walgreens just dropped new visa sponsored roles for F1 student visa graduates. Entry level roles that should be going to American graduates. Walgreens is going out of the way to hire international grads with visa sponsorship over American grads @Walgreens #boycottWalgreens





Never forget that as Elon Musk became a trillionaire today, it is estimated that 750,000 people have died as a result of his cutting of USAID. The majority of those deaths were children.

Fable isn't the first. In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold. Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.






I've written about Anthropic, the kill switch, and what it means for Britain. Successive Governments have taken AI seriously in the context of 'normal times'. But these are not normal times. We need to respond now to ensure Britain isn't left behind. open.substack.com/pub/startupcoa…
