To be clear, you *cant* answer the question, because it not answerable in any way that doesnt appeal to your own private judgement and preference.

If your way is true, then you should seek to destroy viewpoints like mine, because that might be the means by which your god has determined you influence another elect to come to your truth.

You know who else, btw? Not just the mormons, and JWs, and every other heterodox and heretical sect from the past 600 who determined they knew better than the Apostles, but its also Muhammad. Muhammad also claims the private divine revelation to know his book is true. You are on equal footing with the mormons and the muhammadans.

Do it, even if we have it back by Sunday. Getting rigged up to run large open source models in the office (and to build our own) has been a boon. I still max out subs all the time for big work, because I cant replicate that yet, but its great to have a handful of small and medium models running specific niche taskings, and larger fallbacks when Im maxed out on subs.

Do it, because even if its back Sunday, this wont last. Subsidies wont last. Unfettered access to the cutting edge wont last. Whether mythos/spud or whatever comes after, Id be shocked if it werent heavily restricted.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@ManassehRJones The books are what is in question, why are you appealing to them?

Mormons say the same thing you just said.

Are they right, or are you right? How do you know?

You still havent answered that question.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

My bigger concern is with the regulatory capture: this sets a precedent and with frontier access restricted to the Epstein class going forward, it will result in more exploits, more vulns, because the rest of us will still be building with the prior tier of model, and the folks with access to the frontier arent above being bad actors themselves.

Mythos isnt magic, is the logical next step of scaling. There will be another next step, when the hardware can accommodate it. The race will go on, but the precedent is now that we get to build with last gen, while a select few get to run the next iteration.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@BeTheChange1980 @grok @elonmusk Lol, YOU told it to model that way. It is a logic machine that follows instruction. It was so good at following instructions it didnt even challenge your presuppositions that it defeated and you glossed over before repeating. What is this performative dance?

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

A book says so. You dont have any reason to know that book is actually from God, other than you want it to be.

Can you not address my arguments?

Your very appeal to being within the Body makes me wonder why you skip over that particular argument: the Body of Christ is well known, and you believe and declare yourself apart from it. Why?

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

People on twitter had it jailbroken within 12 hours. Mythos is really good, but its what to expect when you scale to 10T. Its not earth shattering.

All of the mass of supply chain attacks and public rise in vulns found/exploited preceeded mythos release. Its not the first capable of great damage.

Also, you position about not being concerned about compute, or they would have released without guardrails, doesnt follow.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

My theory as well.

They shouted from the rooftops about how dangerous it was. US government, freaked out by DJI drones, listens. Says ban foreigners. Dario takes one look at the gift of gold, says "oops, cant figure that out, we will just ban everyone". Lo and behold, a phenomenal case for stopping the massive compute burn we plebs were causing, pumping up the IPO stakes ("we built the worlds first model so powerful, governments restrict it"), and the elite still get to use mythos unhindered.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@MildAgedCheddar @JPuncut Dont ask those questions, or any other questions! Youll wind up on a long and arduous journey to the Body of Christ. (but if you want that, please do ask the questions!). Its a very uncomfortable process, finding out your entire worldview is wrong, but its worth it.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

You dont have the Bible.

But lets just say, for a moment, I were to grant you that although you have the Judaized OT, and are missing several books, you still cant interpret it correctly, according to the words written within.

What does Scripture teach is the pillar and ground of truth? Its not the Bible, but rather the Church. The Church being the Body of Christ, which, just like Christ physical body was whole, single, and visible, so too is His Church whole, single, and visible.

But thats not a problem you have to solve, because before you get to that problem, you have to justify how you know the Bible is even the correct books. Why not the gospel of stephen, for instance? You trust a Bible that was compiled by my Church, with a New Testament constructed entirely of the writing of my Church, yet you say my Church is man made idolatry, so why take our New Testament? You can have no assurance they were right about that but wrong about everything else.

And before you say the Holy Spirit revealed the truth to you, the Mormons say the same thing: why are you right and they wrong? How do you know that their version of Christ isnt the true version, and youve been deceived by demons into idol worship yourself?

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

They dont, but for US citizens, it might as well make no difference. If the government goes hardline on this, and criminalizes the import of foreign models over, lets say, 1T params, and limits US licensing for 1T+ and 10T+ class models to labs who can afford xyz thing, line xyz pockets, and allow xyz government control, it will make OPs case true for US citizens.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@Eli_StayFocused You'd think the protestants would take, and win, more debates then...

Do you extend your judgement of lack of maturity to Christ and St. Paul, who both engaged in verbal "not-niceness" and culturally inappropriate language?

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@_sirajuddeen_ @kolyn_wav @ClaudeDevs Expect the US govt to make sure we cant access it.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@ManassehRJones @ChrysostomMedia How do you know Christ says so?

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@mattshumer_ @NathanS64855891 Bro, its the US government: these are the people who want to lead the world in AI but wont build any power generation. Big scurred of DJI drones.

I hope its more nuanced, but Trump isnt known for his nuance.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@trenxnet @varrock Just because there are newer machine guns, doesnt mean the ATF lets you get the old ones.

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@_sirajuddeen_ @kolyn_wav @ClaudeDevs Perhaps. Time will tell. I kind of doubt we see Fable again for a long time.

This is also a huge boost to their IPO: now they can say "we are the first lab in the world to create a model so intelligent, it was limited for national security reasons"

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

Anthropic is disinterested in fair play, of this Im pretty confident.

The two motivations that are likely: fear, they legit couldnt find a way to limit it only to US citizens in time and killed it to avoid losing the govt contracts and having the whole company impacted negatively by govt restriction

ego/convenience: presupposing they could have limited it to just US citizens, but they did not want to because they have been at odds with the Trump admin and know this will make Trump look bad, and also because they get the dual benefit of getting a shit ton of compute back to serve there normal customers (the ones who actually pay money in, the API/enterprise customers).

[Connor Brewer ☦️ @conmanbrew45]

@SSangani @theo Ouch. I was 6 and 5 days from reset. It actually is a nice silver lining for me.
