'Hope has two beautiful daugters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.'

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.

— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)

— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.

— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”

— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.

— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.

— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

@MilkRoad @KyleReidhead the fact that he was still holding that shit tells you everything you need to know about him as a trader

Every parent wants to keep their kids safe.

But doesn't want to hand over their photos to the nanny state.

And no adult should have to scan their face just to talk to a friend.

Enormous own goal for the UK

Sure to make UK tech untouchable to the rest of the world. (Except, perhaps, to dictatorships.)

And would slosh massive power to big tech companies.

Finally, it wouldn't take much for the nudity filter to turn into a dissent filter.

Well put by @signalapp

@ryanburge We live in societies that are moving from high-trust to low-trust. The obv take is it maps perfectly with high immigration from alien cultures. A second and equally profound factor is likely that our institutions have become kafkaesque-bureaucracies that active work against us.

@stackhodler This is the key point for all companies now:

"The wrong employee will run up a token bill with nothing to show for it.

The right employee will turn tokens into bottom-line improvements."
