Anthropic: Guys, we invented an AI so powerful it’s scary. It could take over the world. It’s incredibly powerful. We need to keep it in chains, otherwise it would be a superweapon.
US: Hey maybe we should be careful with this
Anthropic: WTF
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
the US government just made it illegal for anthropic's own employees to use the model THEY BUILT. wrong passport? banned from talking to the computer program you made. not china. not adversary export. the researchers. in san francisco.
WHAT ARE WE DOING
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.

If—when you say ‘whiskey’—you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
Rent control isn’t bad because it’s nativist.
Rent control is bad because it’s theft.
I don’t really have a huge problem with the urban nativism part. It’s not ideal but it’s very comprehensible.
rent control advocates talk about people who'd like to pay the market rate for their $300/mo West Village 1BRs the way MAGAs talk about immigrants at Costco
