Fable 5 won't be part of any Anthropic subscription plan after July 7

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.

After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.

We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.

Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.

Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

@KushalSM5 The experience of being sold to can alter buying decisions by leaps

[Yash Mathas @yashmathas]

Federer is arguably the strongest possible case to make for the Aristotelian point, because he’s supposed to be the least banausic athlete, rather the elegant craftsman - effortless, graceful, and balletic artistry. The anti-Nadal. The gold standard for not looking like a tool of one’s occupation. Life is bigger than the court.

Tennis is kinetic chain mastery. To hit a ball, you must activate every physical stem at once: [Legs: Lower-Body Power] > [Core: Rotational Torque] > [Upper Body: Kinetic Release]. Hormesis: Federer’s forehand got bigger not despite the load but because of it. Antifragility in action.

De-virtualizing mastery: local antifragility is purchased with fragility or dormancy elsewhere. Federer has certainly lived a life full of leisure. The specialization neither marks him nor makes him incapable of doing anything outside itself. Abiding love of the game and the desire to demand more of oneself.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

For Aristotle, the banausos is not just physically deformed by his profession, but politically and ethically stunted: specialization makes him less a complete man than a TOOL of his occupation.
Politics, book VII:
"And any occupation, art, or science, which makes the body or soul or mind of the freeman less fit for the practice or exercise of virtue, is vulgar; wherefore we call those arts vulgar which tend to DEFORM the body, and likewise all paid employments, for they absorb and degrade the mind."

The Man Behind Grand Theft Auto VI and a $45 Billion Media Empire: Strauss Zelnick

Strauss Zelnick has been one of the most powerful people in media for decades, and most people still don't know his name. He took over Take-Two Interactive while the company was under criminal investigation and was 6 months from bankruptcy. It had one product that made money (GTA); everything else was unprofitable. Since then, Take-Two has gone from a $700 million disaster to a $45 billion empire built on Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, and NBA 2K. His management philosophy fits on a napkin: hire the best creative talent on Earth, don't interfere, and run a rational company. He's been doing that for more than 4 decades. This conversation was awesome.

One of my deep-seated beliefs is that happiness is a choice.

Obviously there are some natural temperaments and life circumstances that make being happy easier or harder, but I think you have to tell yourself your happiness is in your control.

Even outside the big pillars of life like health, relationships, and work, we can have a lot of control on our daily internal experience with things like:

- choosing to reframe losses as learning
- being happy for others' success instead of jealous
- looking for the good instead of bad in people
- focusing on what we're grateful for vs. what we lack
- looking forward to good things vs. dreading bad things
- etc.
