[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.

@BohuslavskaKate His main problem is that he tries to convey reasonings which are way too complex for media headlines / soundbites.

[Maurits Vande Reyde @Mauritsvdr]

Minister Caroline Gennez beweert dat de loonkloof tussen mannen en vrouwen 7% is en veroorzaakt wordt door discriminatie van ondernemers.

In werkelijkheid bedraagt ze geen 7%, maar 0,7%. Het op één na laagste van de Europese Unie. In geen enkele studie komt discriminatie naar voor als hoofdoorzaak.

Noch de VRT, noch het door de Vlaamse overheid gesubsideerde leger aan fatcheckers ziet er graten in. Speciaal.

[Oliver Kahn @OliverKahn]

Exactly 25 years ago today, I scored my first — and only — professional goal.
Contrary to what I believed at the time, goalkeepers are not allowed to handle the ball in both penalty areas.
The goal was disallowed and I was sent off — still it earned me legendary status. 😉

🇺🇦🇪🇺🇧🇪 We will always support Ukraine. For as long as it takes. It has always been our driver, and it will always be.

We, Europeans, send today a strong signal to Ukraine, to Russia and to the rest of the world. The signal that the EU stands by its allies. The signal that the EU is ready to make substantial financial commitments to that end. With this decision, we can ensure that Ukraine receives the financial support it needs in the two upcoming years, for its military and civil needs. And Russia’s assets must remain immobilised until Russia ceases its war of aggression against Ukraine and compensates it for the damage caused by its war.

Belgium has consistently called for a sustainable solution. Legally robust, financially safe. A solution with predictable parameters. Avoiding unprecedented and unreasonable risks. This is the solution we have found today. I commend my Prime Minister for his instrumental role in achieving this result, alongside and together with our diplomatic teams.

Slava Ukraini!

Worth listening to this from the Belgian Prime Minister. It explains his position and that of his government pretty well. And he’s quite right. The other EU member states need to be prepared to share the risk.

[Terzake @terzaketv]

"Er is een risico van geloofwaardigheid van de kapitaalmarkten en onze Europese bedrijven riskeren geld te mislopen. Tweede risico is dat Euroclear gelden aan Rusland moet terugbetalen, terwijl het dit geld niet heeft. Dit kan volledig fout aflopen."

[General Marc @general_marcT]

The #Euroclear issue needs some extra explaining for our non-Belgian friends I think. Here are my five cents👇👇👇

I've been advocating since years during interviews in different media outlets to have a structural financial support for #Ukraine . Such a multi-annual financial guarantee is essential to uphold the will to fight of the Ukrainian people and is the only real proof that Europeans (and once upon a time also Americans) are ready and serious about the issue. Unfortunately, such a guarantee has never come.

The idea of seizing #Euroclear assets is already on the table since the end of 2022. So it is nothing new. And the fact that such an action is a "bad good idea" is not new either. I explained why this is a "bad good idea" on this medium a couple of weeks ago: https://t.co/I3pc7zPXLY

The "cavalier seul" initiative from the Commission and the lack of coordination with member states, and especially Belgium, has brought us into the position that we know today. A stalemate and a divided EU and NATO. It has become a shitshow were we Europeans, whatever the outcome, will loose.

If in the end the assets will be used, it is a clear sign that EU/European countries are not ready to go all the way in supporting Ukraine. Using the assets is therefore also a sign of weakness and lack of unity. It also symbolises the non-comprehension of the situation where we, whether we like it or not, are at war with Russia. And war is like being pregnant, you cannot be a little bit pregnant. Once at war, you must go all out. But most Europeans are not ready for that. It also explains the much commented declaration of the French Chief of Defence two weeks ago.

What most people also do not understand is that using the seized assets is also the most expensive solution, especially if you pretend to protect the rule of law. Russia will not disappear from the map. Fines will come, as is already the case for Luxembourg for example. Experts familiar with the subject talk about a fine as big as the seized assets which would bring us up to a cost of € 300 billion. Even spread among EU members, this is still a whole lot of money (1,5% of EU GDP if everybody pays!), that can better be used to support Ukraine or later support the reconstruction.

An EU loan would be the ideal solution and a strong message to Russia. But that is politically impossible which also sends an image of weakness, ready to be exploited by our adversaries. It would however be the real sign of solidarity with Ukraine and less costly than seizing Russian Euroclear assets. But EU nor NATO will bring such a solution. The lack of unanimity makes it impossible. And this lack of unanimity is exploited to the fullest by our adversaries.

The next best thing are therefore loans given by the individual states of the "Coalition of the Willing", if they are still willing! It was at a certain moment on the list, but it disappeared apparently. It will also be less costly than seizing assets in the end. And whether we like it or not, when using the Euroclear assets, the questions for new loans will be again on the table within a year.

The Belgian Prime Ministers position is therefore a correct one that I fully support. Using these Euroclear assets will weaken Europe in the end structurally which will make support to Ukraine for European countries even more difficult.
