the latest Codex app update broke something @thsottiaux@gdb
even on "Full access" approval mode it started asking for approval perms all the time
like... WAY more than usual, even for very safe commands
this is very annoying
Anthropic has been publicly forced to bend the knee to the US government. The ban on Fable and Mythos reads like censorship, and the market will read it as the TAM of the frontier labs collapsing. Instead, I read this as the opposite, as an acceleration event...
The government MUST have first access, because this is The Great Game, the game of nations over the most powerful technology ever discovered, and a technological edge of 30 to 60 days is worth everything.
It's the same edge the labs already exploit internally. You build your next model with your unreleased frontier tech, never with the public one. That private head start is what keeps you accelerating ahead of the competition or at least in line with them.
The US needs that exact advantage now. Before the public, and before the Chinese open source models can copy it. They have no choice. They cannot allow their own technology to be turned against them.
What's being negotiated, in the usual outrageous, hard-ball Trump manner, is the new arrangement:
Anthropic and OpenAI are free market operators and state vassals at the same time. Nobody wants to curtail their growth. The Gov just wants to be Customer Number 1 with privileged access.
This is the East India Company all over again. A private enterprise left free to grow rich and dominant, granted protection and a clear run by the state, on the unspoken condition that it serves the crown's strategic interests first. That charter was the price of the monopoly.
It also sends a message to China and everyone else that US AI is now so advanced the state itself has to control it. They won't, not yet anyway. They just want privileged access, the rest is posturing.
And Anthropic will bend the knee, very soon...
The hidden outcome is the one that matters. The AI firms are now near-explicitly too big to fail, which means the debt funding the capex buildout comes with an implicit state guarantee.
That accelerates the build-out of intelligence. It doesn't curtail it...
Open source accelerates too, because going open ensures no state can intervene in the model itself. Though the same Great Game rules apply there, and the Chinese state will take its own privileged access first.
So the market may wobble, convinced the TAM of AI just collapsed.
The real outcome is an acceleration of intelligence, and a Super Cycle that keeps running.
At this point every CEO should be asking what their strategy is to avoid model lock-in.
If it isn’t clear what Anthropic is doing, it is:
- build something amazing
- decide who gets to use it after you prompt it if the prompt falls into areas they deem unacceptable by their sole standard
To be clear this is completely above board and legal. It’s just an idiotic risk for corporate users to bear especially as the coding models become equivalent.
The business continuity risk will become more obvious as companies accidentally trip over Anthropic’s ToS and have to decide if they will subsume their business viability to them by doubling down on Anthropic models or find open source (and, btw, much cheaper) alternatives where they are in control.
As stated previously, get ready to be inundated with the term “control plane” which is the natural solution to this problem.
Shameless plug - this is what 8090’s been building as we expected this moment to arrive…

In a week when some of the leaders in AI are trying to pull up the ladder behind them and prevent the automation of science and self-improving superintelligence, we're committed to building RSI safely and publicizing the outputs of our system to give humanity an audit trail of its inventions and intentions and let the open source community build on top of them.
Stay tuned for the first such result in the coming days.
BREAKING NEWS: Anthropic's latest model will NOT help you if it thinks your ML research/ML engineering is interesting, and/or will secretly degrade its IQ so that the average engineer won't notice. We are already seeing Anthropic's latest model's moderation filters our GPU inference research and programming 😭
@thericko94 Makes sense. Did you get your money today? Mine still says processing and it’s got the invoice number. You’re right about the invoice email because they usually don’t miss those emails. Usually comes on the dates you mentioned. I thought that was weird.
Introducing Adaptive Computer.
We put AI inside of an always-on personal computer that it uses to get work done.
Schedule agents. Create software. Automate anything.
As part of the launch, we’re giving one free month of Adaptive to users.
Retweet, like, and comment ‘Adaptive’ to get it.
@anttsinc Bro. I did this original translation. I did it through grok. I can prove it. Don’t let that guy lie to you. That is 100 percent my transcription of audio. I have log of entire grok conversation. The entire text was 100 percent by me working through grok.
