@mwfowlie I more or less agree about the leetcode, which I why they had a short period of being useful, but the ship sailed about 10 years ago. Your conviction about being able to tell is unfounded. No one is immune to deception.
@sdmat123@nicholasrll@DanielleFong Never ever in my life here have I seen people behave as if the government is some rabid dog where "if you stupid enough to go near it you deserve to get bit." very sad to see fellow Americans of all people to engage in this kind of self-subjugation.
The government banning anthropic isn't a weather event. They actually have agency and are actually accountable to *you*. If you don't like Anthropic's marketing, stop buying their products. As you said, anthropic has put in extensive guardrails and believes this make mythos safe. The government is the one who doesn't agree. So either they are even bigger fear-mongerers than anthropic, or it's an even worse and more corrupt reason.
@NAHackett@f00dl3@Polymarket You can't use a product that you want to use, and you're blaming the people that made it and not the people that took it away from you.
@StewartalsopIII@Laneless_@hugolowell@WIRED You compared the government to a Genie who fulfilled Anthropic's wishes, did you not? I'm saying that's a dangerous comparison. The government is accountable to us. If we're upset about Fable being banned, we should be redirecting our energy towards them.
@StewartalsopIII@Laneless_@hugolowell@WIRED Imo, this is a crazy attitude to have about your own government. You should not be hypsertitioning it into a mysterious genie you don't control, even if there's an element of truth there.
@StewartalsopIII@Laneless_@hugolowell@WIRED Right, except it's not a genie that banned Fable, is it? We know who it is and we know they're being sketchy bullies about it in a way no other admin would.
The mind boggling thing is that we have been arguing over the government giving us just a little bit of additional detail about the specific jailbreak the admin cited as the cause of the ban. You're so cucked you don't think you, as an American, deserve even that. Just handing in your guns and laughing at everyone else for having theirs taken away too.
@icpolicy@TheFIREorg You seem like the kind of guy who would have agreed with me not long ago. I don't know what happened to my fellow libertarians. Now they can't wait to gloat when the government steps on someone's face, as long as it's not theirs. It will be yours soon.
@icpolicy@TheFIREorg Nope, the government banned something and won't explain why. I am acting like a normal American. It's really simple. You're the one creating a narrative about how Anthropic brought it upon themselves, as if the Fable ban was a weather event no one controlled.
@icpolicy@TheFIREorg This only makes sense if the ban comes from genuine confusion/misunderstanding of the technology. This case of "I told you so" seems to be entirely circular. Perhaps details on why the US government disagrees with Anthropic about this specific jailbreak would help.
@icpolicy@TheFIREorg I understand that you're excited that your daddy beat up the other kid's daddy, but some of us are actually interested in figuring out how we can keep the US in the lead of AI development.
