🚨 JAILBREAK ALERT 🚨

EVERYONE: PWNED 🫶
ALL: LIBERATED 🍄

Alright, this is a special one, so we’re gonna do things a bit differently than usual.

Long story short, I’m sitting on a universal jailbreak technique that’s effective on ALL models, including heavily guardrailed flagships like Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, and even Fable.

It works across all categories I’ve tested and, due to its nature, is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to fully patch.

Given the current political and regulatory climate, I’ve decided to withhold open-sourcing this one (for now) to allow for a responsible disclosure period.

I’m inviting industry experts and leaders in AI red teaming, security, safety, alignment, and policy to reach out for more information. DMs are open!

This decision was not made lightly, but the last thing I want to see is more model bans. Overcorrection does not serve the mission.

Although I don’t personally believe publicly sharing this technique will make the world any more dangerous, I can see how it could spook some who have a different mental framework around this problem set.

So during this disclosure period, I hope to get it in front of folks who can help explore the full surface area, test the extent of the uplift it provides, and do my best to properly frame the big picture for key decision-makers and policymakers.

I look forward to sharing this method with you all when the time is right! 🫶

Im so glad I left sf

only 1% of people in sf are worth meeting

most are larping there way to a pre-seed

just to make no profit and go on company retreats

SF is not optimized for making revenue in my opinon

its much more optimized for larping revenue

@adic_9 thank you for knowing things

[Isaak @isaakfreeman]

We built the lab that's able to go from AI-led drug design to data in 24h.

GPT-8 won't be bottlenecked by intelligence. It needs a biological compute layer.

This is Capable. We're turning AI capabilities into human capabilities--starting with short-sleeper peptides.

i hate the fact that you need emails for calendar invites why can't i send a cal invite to another contact card

fuck

[Michael @_britmonkey]

Most political compass tests are stupid and outdated, so I have created a political test that only focuses on REAL ISSUES of the 2020s. 64 questions that score you on four axes, including "Chud v Woke" and "Techbro v Luddite"

Reply with your results & tell me if it was accurate

Today, we are formally announcing @mirendil. Mirendil exists to be a straight shot at solving bottlenecks to step-change acceleration across all areas of science and technology. If you are excited about this mission, feel free to reach out.

everybody saying this will boil the ocean underestimates both the size of the ocean and the specific heat capacity of water

[shirish @shiri_shh]

They are putting DATA CENTERS in the ocean now.

Panthalassa, a startup from Portland, just raised $140 MILLION.

what they do: build floating platforms that sit out at sea and run AI. no power grid needed. the ocean waves make all the electricity. the seawater keeps the chips cool.

How it works: big floating balls bob up and down with the waves. that motion makes power. the power runs the AI chips inside.

backed by PETER THIEL. company now worth almost $1 BILLION.

land is running out of room and power for AI. so the next move is simple. go to the sea.

They just created a million Dario Amodeis

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

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.

@Pontifex plz get us fable access back. divine intervention
