🚨 Anthropic's CEO: "software engineering will be fully automated in 12 months."
two types of people right now:
type 1: opens Claude, types something, gets an answer, closes the tab. thinks they're using AI.
type 2: knows the hidden features, settings, and shortcuts. runs Claude like a power tool.
type 1 gets surprised in 12 months.
type 2 built the advantage already.

JW has a point , whats the rationale for ousting one Nyayo orphan(hustler)if the replacement is another Nyayo orphan (skm) who has no track record . Most kenyans will go for the hustler over skm!
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
Some people are not self-made, they are parent-made.
Remove the surname, remove the security, remove the access, remove the soft landing, remove the inherited confidence and they become ordinary shadows trying to explain “hard work” to people who started life from zero.
Being born near power is not entrepreneurship.
Fable 5 has been live for 72 hours. The US government just pulled it offline. This is not marketing.
Mythos-class models can do more than write code. Both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 can scan networks for weaknesses, find exploitable software bugs, and launch cyberattacks on their own, without a human guiding each step. Anthropic built a set of separate AI systems to screen those requests out. When a risky query arrives, Fable 5 quietly routes the user to the older, weaker Claude Opus 4.8 instead of answering.
On June 10, one day after launch, a researcher going by "Pliny the Liberator" claimed a working jailbreak using Unicode tricks, swapped Russian-alphabet characters, and burying harmful requests deep inside long conversations to fool the screening systems. The Commerce Department saw this and sent a letter to CEO Dario Amodei by 5:21 PM on June 12. Both models went dark for every customer that evening. Anthropic has no reliable way to filter out foreign nationals in real time, so a blanket shutdown was the only compliant option.
Anthropic disputes the severity. The jailbreak, they say, unlocks only one specific attack pathway, not the full capability set. Anthropic also says the same technique works on OpenAI's GPT-5.5, which faces no export restrictions.
The financial stakes are concrete. Anthropic filed for a public listing twelve days ago targeting a $965 billion valuation. Run-rate revenue was $30 billion annualized in April 2026, up from $9 billion at the start of the year. It serves over 300,000 business customers worldwide. Suspending the two most capable models, the ones already driving enterprise adoption, is not a brand moment. It is a direct cost landing on an active IPO clock.
This is also not the first time the US government has moved against Anthropic. In February 2026, the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security after the company refused to let Claude be used for autonomous lethal weapons. Anthropic sued and that litigation is still running.
No company kills its two flagship products eleven days before a near-trillion-dollar public offering for marketing purposes. The government moved first. Anthropic complied. The bill is being paid right now.
The geopolitical battle for AI just hit the commercial market. While there's need for compliance, treating AI advancement as a national security threat comes off as a regulatory overreach!
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.
