Premium Newsletter: Part 1 of my series covering how the AI "revolution" is part of a larger Silicon Valley Bubble, where grifts replace value and cults of personality crush innovation.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI have become bubbles unto themselves.

@mil000 Hahahahhahahaha

@mil000 It wasn’t at the nasdaq?

@BenThePCGuy Yeah but 2 is a huge problem lol

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

I really love the people who are desperately trying to suggest this is "bullish for Anthropic" and "proof that Mythos/Fable is the path to AGI." It's a bunch of Business Idiots getting scared by ghost stories and throwing their weight around. It's also very funny

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

Dario Amodei Elizabeth Holmes voice'd too close to the sun with his big promises and proclamations. And it's weird that the government seems to be saying that there was a jailbreak they wouldn't fix? I guess more reporting will come out, but seems Wario is pushing his luck

[Steve Hou @stevehou]

I’d rather take the explanation provided by Amazon at face value: Amazon/AWS noticed vulnerabilities of the new Fable model and shared them with the govt. They weren’t alone either. I don’t think Amazon would tactically sabotage Ant. It’s against their own interest to do so.

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

@mil000 Why can’t you do both of these things

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

@postoctobrist Ain’t you a little fuckin short for a stormtroopah kid

@Katie_Roof I barely started scoops until last year and have at least 3 that this happened with

JUST IN: Anthropic says a “huge percentage” of its own employees are now barred from accessing Fable 5 & Mythos 5 under U.S. restrictions.

Is Amazon trying to kill Anthropic

[Stephanie Palazzolo @steph_palazzolo]

Breaking: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among the tech leaders who raised concerns to senior Trump officials this week re: security risks in Anthropic's newest models.

Those convos set in motion the government's new export controls on foreign national access to Mythos and Fable.

@brandonjcarl Horrible ai slop copy which also has the entirely false thing about inference costs per a16z lol

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

@ralter How does this piece miss the whole insane private equity story?

[Brad @Brad08414464]

it seems like the massive ramp in Anthropic’s revenue was due to a single digit number of mega corps going full AI crazy and massively overspending, Meta probably being the biggest offender. AI lab revenue will obviously continue upward, but that crazy inflection in Anthropic’s numbers was likely just a temporary phenomenon due to companies racing to catch up, and not really an indicator of which lab is actually ahead

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

This is so wild. Deliberate strategic move by Amazon? Or Mr. Bean style goofiness that cuts weirdly with the scaremongering marketing campaign? Who knows!

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Wall Street Journal is reporting that Amazon reported the jailbreaks to the Department of Commerce, who instituted the ban

[JustDario @DarioCpx]

This sentence made me laugh so much
