Agreed it's murky. The one thing that seems clear: a known jailbreak hitting minor, already-known vulns is a patch-and-redeploy problem, not grounds to pull a frontier model. Government can act on real risk and labs can keep building — the work is in the guardrail layer between them.

[Dave M @DaveNC0000]

On Fable 5, I don't think oversight and frontier development are opposites. The real question is operational: when a jailbreak appears, do you pull the model or do you have the controls—evals, staged rollout, kill switches scoped to the actual risk—to contain it and keep going? Build that layer well and the government's authority and the lab's ambition stop being a tradeoff.

@AnthropicAI This marks the end of an era. The public may never have such open access to frontier models again.

What happens when only the government and frontier labs have access to the strongest models? I’m not sure, but it’s probably going to be less fun than we’re used to.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

🚨 President Biden Takes on Facebook Dropping Fact Fact Checking

“Telling the truth matters. I mean, I know I'm on national television, but you all are local reporters and national reporters.

This is not a legitimate question, but what do you think?

Do you think it doesn’t matter that they let it be printed? Or that millions of people read things that are simply not true?

I mean, I don’t know what that’s all about. It’s completely contrary to everything America stands for.”

👏👏👏👏👏

Before this DNC ends, a tip of the fedora to @cspan, whose gavel-to-gavel convention coverage is both a public service and an enormous resource for journalists of all stripes.

Gov. Tim Walz: "You know, I haven't given a lot of big speeches like this one in my life. But I've given a lot of pep talks. So let me finish with this, team. It's the fourth quarter. We're down a field goal. But we're on offense. We're driving down the field. And, boy, do we have the right team to win this. Kamala Harris is tough. She's experienced. And she's ready. Our job is to get in the trenches and do the blocking and tackling. One inch at a time, one yard at a time, one phone call at a time, one door knock at a time, one $5 donation at a time. We've only got 76 days to go. That's nothing. We'll sleep when we're dead. And we're gonna leave it all on the field."

When Hillary Clinton’s campaign emails were hacked, we gleefully published all of them. Now that Trump’s emails have been hacked, we are going to use great discretion.

This book called "The Assertiveness Workbook" that I started this weekend should be a required read to all Tech Mentors out there.
So good, yet so rare to see more folks using these techniques to shift both passive and passive-agressive communication (most common in Tech in my experience) towards true assertive communication.

Imagine how it feels to win Olympic gold against opponents from the authoritarian country that wants to take your sovereignty - and when you receive your medal, your country's name, flag, and anthem are completely erased.

How much longer will this indignity be forced on Taiwan?
