DETACHED FROM REALITY
Mark Carney just claimed the average FAMILY spends $800 per month on groceries or $10,000 per year.
Has he gone to the grocery store?
4 steaks 🥩 is $100 only one meal
If you ate BEEF 20 days a month x $100 that’s $2,000 without veggies, fruit or carbs
🚨 LIBERALS JUST DROPPED BILL C-34: “Protect the kids” by forcing AGE VERIFICATION on EVERY Canadian.
Under-16 social media ban sounds nice… until you read it.
Section 27 requires platforms to implement “adequate age-verification or age-estimation measures” for ALL users. That means driver’s licenses, passports, or facial biometrics for millions of adults just to log in.
They promise the data gets destroyed. They said the same about other “temporary” powers.
This isn’t about children. It’s about building the infrastructure for a digital ID surveillance state, one login at a time.
I know mission creep when I see it. Once the system exists, it expands.
Parents protect kids. Government builds control grids.

By the way, public service announcement: if you're one of the numerous people posting about Anthropic's dystopian ways and you're thinking about getting Claude to help you write that post... don't!
Another one of their terms is that you may not use Claude to do anything that "exposes [Anthropic to] reputational harms" 👇
And, if you do, under the - extremely unusual - clause 13 of their terms (https://t.co/z43rJNkvZu), you have PRE-AGREED, by using Anthropic (and accepted their terms), that the harm you've done is irreparable, that you won't oppose Anthropic injunction, and they don't need to prove actual damage.
They can simply go to a judge in a friendly jurisdiction (and of course, their terms precise that any dispute "will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California") and:
a) file an injunction that shuts you down
b) make you pay for everything since under section 11 of their terms you agree to indemnify Anthropic for "any and all liabilities, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), and other losses arising out of or related to your breach or alleged breach of these Terms."
In other words, if you use Claude to help you talk shit about Anthropic publicly, their terms say you pay their lawyers to go after you and you've already pre-agreed you've lost the case.
Oh, and cherry on the cake: in the odd case the judge were like "are you crazy, this is insanely abusive, you Anthropic are the ones at fault here," according to their terms Anthropic's maximum liability is... $100.
CEO Dario Amodie, upon recognizing a potential very bad outcome, continues to work toward this goal as fast as he can and also withholds his current frontier model's power from the unwashed masses.
Anyone else tired of hearing the Liberals say “Canadians know” followed by more gaslighting.
This guy is one of the biggest culprits of it. We are in a recession & this guy is saying Canadians know that the Liberals are growing a stronger economy? We are literally living 1984
This is Absolutely INSANE.
Claude Fable 5 generated the entire journey of a baby in the womb as a 3D explorable world. You literally see this in first person view.
In just ONE shot.

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware.
Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner.
Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky.
When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit.
We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted.
In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation.
H/T to colleagues that shared this with me https://t.co/f3Aj9TYxU4
I asked Fable 5 to recreate Monopoly but make each of the properties an AI lab or startup.
It implemented everything - game rules, money system, turns, even share codes for multiplayer games.
Once you have a monopoly, you can build racks and eventually a data center 🤓
Jokingly asked Fable to build me Crysis in Three.js.
It may not be Crysis, but the fact this is all done procedurally in basically one shot is kind of blowing my mind right now.
"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]."
