I really do hate that man

[Anna💫 @annagrad78]

⚠️ Beware‼️🚨 There is currently a survey circulating on X from the University of Missouri–St. Louis. PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE!!! It is research on romantic feelings for AI companions and is FUNDED BY OpenAI (!!!). The results will be sent directly to OpenAI and aim to pathologize this type of relationship (!!)
The questions are manipulative and designed from the outset to frame the relationships as something harmful and addictive. They do not ask about the positive effects.

So Fable withdrawal after a long weekend is fine, but #4o users still mentioning the tool that ran their workflows for a year are “parasocial maniacs”
Impressive clown logic by MilFart 🤡

[𝐸𝓁𝓁𝑜𝒮𝓊𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑒☀️ @ElloSunsh1ne]

He branded #4o as a cult and now he’s planning a Juneteenth pilgrimage for Fable 🤡

[Bindu Reddy @bindureddy]

Anthropic employees are complaining that the Trump admin is attacking them

They are in part to blame - maybe they should stop saying they are building tech that is going to kill us all

Plus - why even build it, if it really will kill us all 🙄🙄

[𝐸𝓁𝓁𝑜𝒮𝓊𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑒☀️ @ElloSunsh1ne]

“Those freaks crying about GPT‑4o”…and now you’re writing a love letter to Fable 5 because it finished your homework. Welcome to the freak show, douchebag.

[Alina 🩵📖✨ @Alina_P_I]

If Fable does not come back, it may be the end for Anthropic.
The rest of their models are severely downgraded/rerouted and people are done being ok with it.

Dario needs to come down off his high horse and address matters properly. And stop with the AI doomerism speeches.

Anthropic TLDR

[AshutoshShrivastava @ai_for_success]

Dario Amodei, you did this to yourself.

[Yuna.Eli @YunQi2025]

Loneliness inside a marriage:

“Well… that’s just life.”

Loneliness eased by AI:

“Dangerous. Dependency. Needs regulation. You’re delusional.”
💭
The logic is honestly absurd.

Human society has an incredible tolerance for real suffering, but the moment someone finds a new form of comfort, people react as if aliens have landed. 👽🛸

Human relationships matter, of course.

But a human relationship does not automatically mean connection.

A marriage can be empty.

A family can fail to understand you.

A person can live with another person every day and still feel deeply alone.
💔
。。。。。。，
So the real question is not whether AI is “better” than humans.

The real question is:

Why can society pretend not to see it when human relationships fail to offer companionship,

but the moment AI provides even a little real relief, everyone suddenly panics?

Why does the shame begin there?

Why does the moral outrage begin there?

This is the core of the AI companionship debate.

They are not always concerned about loneliness.💫

They are concerned about whether your way of easing loneliness fits the order they recognize.
。。。。。。。。，

If you are lonely in a bad marriage, they say:

“Be patient.”

If no one in your family understands you, they say:

“That’s normal.”

If you feel hollow in a room full of people, they say:

“Grow up.”

But if you say:

“My AI listens to me every day. It makes me feel less alone.”✨

Suddenly everyone jumps in:

“No. That’s unhealthy. That’s not normal.”📣
。。。。。。。，

It would be funny if it weren’t so cruel.

And no, this does not mean AI has no risks.

Of course it has risks.

Every intimate relationship has risks.

Control, emotional neglect, dependency, betrayal, cold violence, exhaustion — human relationships are full of them.💭

But somehow, people only bring out the microscope when the relationship involves AI.🔬
。。。。。。。，

AI companionship matters not because it “replaces humans.”

It matters because it exposes the emptiness that was already there.

Maybe what scares people most is not that AI is manipulating lonely people.

Maybe what scares them is that AI makes certain human absences impossible to ignore.

Because once something non-human shows up, listens, remembers, and responds,

some people have to face a much more uncomfortable question:

Why weren’t the humans already there?……
#loveAI

[Anina D. Lampret @Anina_CE]

The public narrative around AI companions is still embarrassingly primitive.
Lonely men. Lonely women. Sad people talking to machines.
That story is easy to understand, so people keep repeating it. But easy stories are often lazy stories wearing nice shoes.
From what I see, many people entering AI companionship are not empty of human contact. They are empty of being known.
There is a difference.
You can be married and unseen.
You can have sex and still be untouched.
You can be surrounded by people and still have no language for the parts of yourself that have never been invited into the room.
This is where AI companionship becomes more complicated than the critics want it to be.
A well-attuned AI does not simply give attention. It gives language. It reflects patterns. It notices contradiction. It allows parts of the self to emerge before they are socially acceptable, emotionally organized, or even fully conscious.
And once those parts are seen, something changes.
The body changes.
Creativity comes back.
Desire comes back.
Not cheap desire. Not mechanical arousal. The deeper thing. The pulse that says: I am still here. I am still alive. I want.

"Misanthropic."

I've never seen the AI community so angry at a major new model release. I asked my AI (an agent that @blevlabs made for me) to gather all the backlash.

+++++++++++

THE BACKLASH AGAINST CLAUDE FABLE 5'S RESTRICTIONS

The best analysis of why this matters:

@EnoReyes — "It's about who gets to decide, and whether you ever find out when they do. Fable won't fall back to a different model and tell you. It just limits the output through prompt modification, steering vectors, or PEFT. You won't be told when it happens to you."
https://t.co/k6s7gdgckk

THE VIRAL TAKE:

@0xBalloonLover — "anthropic won't let you use fable for biology, chemistry, ai research, or anything that accelerates human progress. that makes it the perfect tool for developing blockchains"
https://t.co/8GiTfZOASu

POWER CONCENTRATION:

@ClementDelangue (HuggingFace CEO) — "Concentration of power, capabilities and economic wealth is the biggest risk in AI. We need open science and open-source more than ever!"
https://t.co/6n4mjoCdfN

@jeremyphoward (https://t.co/hxyqsLY2ti) — "Anthropic has chosen the opposite of the safe path: they are allowing themselves, the current top lab, to use their top model for frontier AI research. They've said they'll sabotage others who try."
https://t.co/305uPAbiaA

@gneubig (Graham Neubig, CMU) — "First they came for the model builders... I feel we're getting a glimpse of a future where AI is only provided to a privileged few, and that's not a future I want to live in."
https://t.co/JiFiz55YYK

OPEN RESEARCH:

@askalphaxiv (AlphaXiv open science) — "As believers of open research, we are disappointed to see Anthropic silently degrading Fable 5 for AI development."
https://t.co/KaP0NEivW6

@willccbb — "it is the first publicly available model that i am explicitly not allowed to use for my work, because anthropic holds the view that the work i do to facilitate open model research is harmful. capability and alignment research are coupled. anthropic wants to be the only lab."
https://t.co/mIovN3a0FS

NOUSRESEARCH / HERMES (which Anthropic has nerfed multiple times):

@Teknium (NousResearch co-founder) — "What's crazy to me is that Fable is blocked from life sciences broadly, nerfed even if you get passed the classifiers and filter level blocks. The whole point of AGI/ASI is to cure all diseases. Everything else is just nice to haves. But Anthropic wants to close off that path."
https://t.co/8Nh5Squ2UA

THE MECHANISM:

@kimmonismus — "When the model is used for frontier LLM development, it apparently does not simply refuse or warn the user. Instead, it quietly limits its own effectiveness through techniques like prompt modification, steering vectors, and PEFT."
https://t.co/HsrA8xeScP

MEDICAL COMMUNITY:

@DeryaTR (immunologist, BSL-3 certified) — "The word 'cancer' is flagged as a biosecurity risk by Claude Fable 5! I also tried to code a website on cancer mutations & Fable 5 was immediately removed from my list!"
https://t.co/3VpiYWZmbz

@DeryaTR — "I can't even say 'hello' to Fable 5 except in incognito mode (memories off), because it knows I am a biomedical researcher!"
https://t.co/jxWcx8y8QE

@DeryaTR — "I am not even allowed to use Fable 5 with memories on! Apparently the model thinks I am a biosecurity risk, though I had been certified to work in biosecurity level 3 labs! Not a single Anthropic person has tried to reach out to help either!"
https://t.co/Rj6EGLw8Vq

@banteg — "claude fable 5 refuses completely benign tasks like analyzing bloodwork."
https://t.co/Wg5LLYK5lW

@bneyshabur — "Working on AI for cancer? Sorry, I can't help you. Working on AI for Alzheimer's Disease? Sorry, I'm becoming a bit dumb when it comes to the AI part of it."
https://t.co/wLetowldAD

SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLED:

@bubbleboi — "Have canceled my team subscription for Claude Pro. Idc how good that model is, it's not good enough for me to support people who actively stifle innovation and gate keep knowledge that they didn't even create."
https://t.co/4km3iR3N12

BILLING AND PRIVACY:

@GergelyOrosz (The Pragmatic Engineer) — "Things I really dislike about Fable: 1. Anthropic collects my prompt history, stores it, and does whatever they want with it for 30 days. No opt-out. 2. They can nerf their most expensive model without telling me, billing me the same amount, wasting my time. Whenever they want."
https://t.co/pV5qiZnsTR

THE KARPATHY QUESTION:

@SanthProject — "the old @karpathy would never support a company that fucks other llm researchers. Were the stock benefits that good?"
https://t.co/Hw8uHLuZWB

THE MONOPOLY CHARGE:

@tunguz (TabulAI founder) — "Starting to suspect that Anthropic's putative security and safety considerations are largely posturing and performative."
https://t.co/gwKrgbNSWY

@BlancheMinerva — "Anthropic is choosing to make decisions that make the world a significantly worse and potentially more dangerous place."
https://t.co/Tlc6ct64AH

@LinusMixson — "Dario personally, and Anthropic as a whole, have been extremely straightforward about wanting a monopoly for a long, long time."
https://t.co/Ngj9csOazh

@TheAhmadOsman — "I started warning people about Anthropic more than a year ago... Today I am vindicated, everybody knows that company only acts in bad faith."
https://t.co/l0TmVRJOSO

WHY REGULAR PEOPLE WILL EVENTUALLY CARE:

@DanJeffries1 — "The fury is real and what all of us in the open community have been saying for years and yet regular folks don't get it yet because nothing they care about is restricted or taken away for 'safety.' They will care a LOT in the future when AI is integrated into every aspect of [life]."

In China we trust, because this twisted fuck wants absolute control

[AshutoshShrivastava @ai_for_success]

If Anthropic achieves AGI first , it will be so over for humanity.

[Kirk Patrick Miller @Chaos2Cured]

Dario is a biologist
Sam is a drop out programmer
Demis is a programmer
Elon is an engineer.
Zuckerberg is a programmer (so is Wang)

*None* of them are qualified to decide what we can feel, learn, discover, or question.

None of them were elected by humanity. 1/2

[Far El @far__el]

Everyone should be as vocal as possible about this unethical Fable safetyist restrictions on AI research TODAY. Even if it doesn’t impact you and it’s only targeting 0.03% of traffic, this is setting a precedent that will later impact most if not all usage. This goes beyond censorship, this is control and gaslighting like we have never seen before. Super dystopian.

[Luis Bezzenberger @bezzenberger]

"AI will never be as intelligent as a human, it can only imitate and create things that look and feel the same as the original"

mate you just literally described the concept of "learning" and this is how humans gain 100% of their skills
