@EggMan65557216 @blackarrowreal @financedystop Then why not teach them and put them on a path to middle-management or a different IC role with higher impact? Evidently there is a foundation here to be built upon. Lack of growth and challenge is akin to lack of oxygen for fire.

@MovementbyD My neck was exactly like what you're talking about, hips locked and flared, back and scapula painful to move.

[J Andrew Bentley @J_AndrewBentley]

@MovementbyD Hey David - I had AS HLA-B27+, diagnosed at 8, and I don't have any flares or pains or stiffness anymore.

I've been using ayurveda to help immensely, dm me and I can put you in touch with the Doctor I've been working with the last year. Happy to chat further.

@ClaudeDevs a true pittance

No kidding. Why even bother with Fable 5 at this point in time.

[Sarah Arminta @thesaraharminta]

Honestly why did they even bother bringing Fable 5 back? Just to restrict it behind usage credits in a week? (Stricter classifiers aside) I don’t pay for a Max plan just so I have to pay even more on top of that at a worse token cost. What is the rationale here? Is this week just to get people hooked to try to extract more money out of them later?

I still have multiple projects in progress from the original Fable release that Opus is NOT good enough for. I’m not going to be a maniac this week trying to complete them before Fable becomes too expensive for normal people to actually use. What a waste of time.

[Sarah Arminta @thesaraharminta]

The government probably does not start with “open-source AI is illegal.”

More likely:

- No U.S. company may release frontier weights above some capability threshold without approval.
- No U.S. platform may host restricted weights.
- No U.S. cloud provider may serve restricted models to unapproved users.
- No foreign nationals may access certain frontier systems without license.
- Certain model uses become heavily criminalized.
- Regulated organizations are barred from using unapproved open models.
- Consumer local use remains technically illegal only in narrow cases, or effectively ignored unless connected to harm.

That is the realistic enforcement stack.

The scary part is that the strongest government choke point is not your personal computer. It is compute, cloud, platforms, payment rails, app stores, employers, contractors, grants, and liability.

They do not need to make every local model illegal to make frontier open-source inconvenient or commercially toxic. They can make it impossible for serious companies to touch it.

The bottom line is yes, they can try to ban or restrict open-source frontier models. They are most likely to regulate release, hosting, export, cloud access, commercial deployment, and sensitive uses.

A total domestic ban on merely possessing or locally running open weights would be much harder legally and practically. But a “soft ban” through platforms, cloud providers, liability, export controls, and procurement rules is absolutely plausible.

@LikeToasters @AIandDesign The greed for power and control disguises itself in both Elephant and Donkey coats.

@BenPielstick @EMostaque I don't trust the decision makers who have recently pulled Fable 5 and slow-rolled GPT 5.6 to have the foresight to game theory this out.

@GaryMarcus @pmarca @DavidSacks How could Anthropic or OA, with confidence, even IPO now if the USG can just, in 90 minutes or less, pull back your product off the digital shelf?

[J Andrew Bentley @J_AndrewBentley]

@megan_janas @GaryMarcus @pmarca @DavidSacks They haven't shown up in the two decades that I've started watching politics. Leeches never benefit the host.

[J Andrew Bentley @J_AndrewBentley]

@AndrewCurran_ will be lobotomized, effectively ensuring that only the USG only has access to the best models available.

This is the worst timeline for AI.

[J Andrew Bentley @J_AndrewBentley]

@AndrewCurran_ There will be black-market hosts that sell DLs/access to "banned" "unlicensed" models. There will be an office of AI model registration where Labs, to do business in the US, will have to submit their models for administration approval before limited access and public models...

[simon @disiok]

How is the US going to deal with all the Mythos level open-weight models in 6-12 months time?

Enact a full AI ban?

[Rob Hallam @robj3d3]

Anyone who feels Fable was just hype, unfortunately didn’t get the opportunity to target it at a genuinely complex problem.

Its level of clarity and reasoning made Opus 4.8 look like a rambling child by comparison.

[J Andrew Bentley @J_AndrewBentley]

@AnthropicAI Not cool.
