“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

—C.S. Lewis

NEW: Anthropic is walking back Claude Fable 5's policy to covertly degrade performance for competing AI researchers, after facing fierce backlash.

“We’re changing Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development to make them visible,” Anthropic tells WIRED. “We made the wrong tradeoff and we apologize for not getting the balance right.”

every meeting at anthropic starts with a stolen funds acknowledgment

[David Z. Morris @davidzmorris]

@perrymetzger You might be interested: everyone talks about SBF's huge anthropic investment. What gets lost is that the $500 million stake, made up *entirely* of stolen funds, was 86% of the entire series B.

Anthropic was built with stolen funds.

My expectation is that without structural changes to our high school education system, we will see +10% youth (age 20-29) unemployment by 2028, just in time for the election. Gen Z and Alpha are the least prepared, worst educated, cohort in 40+ years.
