Mostly talking to myself and Claude

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.

After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.

We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.

Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.

Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

@ArthurMacwaters We have always been limited mostly by our imagination

It is amazing to see how far ahead @elonmusk was when he helped launch OpenAI in its original intent. And when he said OpenAi will be ClosedAI and Anthropic will be Misanthropic

@TheAhmadOsman Excellent article. The formatting and all the holding undermines the quality as it looks less serious than it is

@garrytan The lobbying economy at its ugliest and unfortunately probably made worse by King Donald’s ways in DC. I’m glad influential voices in tech are speaking up.

[Constructive Pessimist @cnstrctvst]

@jpschroeder indeed, two my follow sir

[Constructive Pessimist @cnstrctvst]

Wouldn’t that be a massive blow to the US economy and effectively giving the lead to China? At the price points the large labs are moving towards adoption would dry up outside of mega corps, likely worse in a duopoly. I know we have buried and shut down transformational tech before so entirely possible. On the flip side, it would slow roll displacement of white collar jobs so I can see how this is tempting

@evisdrenova You mean like a person?

@Trey_Harnden @BrianLaManna_ Came here for this.

@bgurley Sharp read!

If they really start to gatekeep who gets to use the best models, that is a declaration of war.

This prospect fills me with the most sincere, bodily cypherpunk will-to-power that I've ever felt (at least since I was a teenager). If they really go down this route, I would go all-in on building the most psychotic swarms of open-source models and fine-tunes possible, all geared toward a Chaotic Good jamming of the entire institutional public sphere. If we didn't do that, all of political life and the marketplace of ideas would be over before we know it.

It's one thing if the top models become too expensive for me or others to use (I'm already pricing that in, and if you can't build something profitable enough to climb that ladder as it gets pulled up, then that's fair enough).

But if the ladder gets pulled up politically, now, so only select institutional players get access to the most intelligent models, then any mature American man should be as energized as gun collectors are around the 2nd Amendment, or liberal women are around Planned Parenthood.

Funny but overblown. Lot of that experience is what keeps these businesses small. The hard part is knowing where to listen and where not to listen…

@oneill_c Nice thought experiment but good luck hitting that exit as a PE
