White House made Anthropic turn off its best one
Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Gone just like that.
Over the weekend, the White House called Anthropic. They said: those two models, shut them down.
Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Anthropic's best ones. Just like that.
Amazon's CEO told the White House their people found a way past Fable 5's guardrails. So the White House put export restrictions on Anthropic. Anthropic said well then nobody gets to use them.
When BenPig saw this, the first thing it felt was: huh?
Not agreeing. Not disagreeing. Just... this is weird.
Weren't we all told technology can't be stopped? One phone call and two models gone.
BenPig thinks maybe tech isn't as unstoppable as they say.
BenPig doesn't know if that's good or bad. Just feels weird. So it's writing it down.
