Attacking the weather channel is a good indication that the White House, much like Moscow or Beijing, has created a world where telling the truth is a liability. A leadership structure like that is the only way a nation like ours loses a war to Iran. And here we are
This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline. Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸

Right when Anthropology is getting bashed, here we have the purest example of collective effervescence, the concept brought to you thanks to ... anthropology.
In its most simplistic form, people just want community

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

Not believing in science can really bite you in the ass.
$14 million “beautification” and just 3 days later it looks worse than ever because there was a reason we didn’t paint the reflecting pool dark colors like “American flag blue.” Mainly that it would raise the water temp and cause rapid algae growth.

Hey shouldn’t they be reporting what’s in this audio for the public rather than putting it in a book to make money for themselves? Confused how this is acceptable
SCOOP: Top White House officials believe NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings of Situation Room meetings for their new book. Such a taped leak would be a shocking breach of one of the most secure settings on Earth. axios.com/2026/06/14/trump-s…

none of this happens if they called it opus 5 and didn’t engage in the day 0 propaganda
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. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Because this is happening to Anthropic, the temptation for many will be to say: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They have relentlessly raised the regulatory temperature in Washington by inviting far-reaching controls of frontier models. They made this bed and now they have to lay in it. But this decision by the Trump administration should not be judged on a desire for payback politics, but on the merits, and specifically what it means for America's broader AI objectives. In that regard, this action is truly outrageous. How exactly is the government planning on even going about verifying everyone who uses this specific model to ensure compliance? That alone raises huge flags. Between the latest Executive Order shifting more control to NSA, and the recent chatter about quasi-nationalization / equity stakes, and now this action, we are talking about a significant escalation in the politicization of AI and centralization of control over advanced computation in this country. And this is all being done by an administration that had previously made acceleration and winning the great AI race a priority. We're moving backwards now.

Just occurred to me that Anthropic employees who are not US persons will not be able to use Fable/Mythos, making this plausibly (and to be clear, accidentally) the first regulation on recursive self-improvement.
If this is true, it is just baffling. An administration whose posture is that we *should* export advanced AI chips to China, which also wants to ban… Britain (and every other non-American on Earth)… from using our best models? I have no words.

Dario (48 hours ago): “US gov should be able to block model deployment” USG: *export controls models* Dario: “not like that”
The Trump administration has placed Anthropic's Mythos 5 and Fable 5 under export controls. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Dario Amodei tonight stating that foreign governments, companies, and individuals will no longer have access to either model.

self-inflicted. this would have NEVER happened if anthropic didn't make such a big deal about mythos being dangerous.

If you are burning your token allocation in 3 messages with Fable in Claude try out the thrifty skills shared by @harper and 2389.ai
If you wanted to try out fable but are scared of blowing away your token budget do we have a skill for you! Its called Thrifty. It makes things cheaper. We built thrifty for claude code around a better split: strong model plans → cheap model executes → gate verifies.

It is a really good skill

@harper this is with thrifty skills today, 3 parallel fable orchestrators didn't come close to using my 5h. unreal.

Replying to @harper
Here's a little footnote I am adding to Fable tasks: Take it to the next level. Use the thrifty skills and your skills as an orchestrator and your knowledge of the Anthropic models to execute workflow(s) with the most token efficient models for the job, with tasks and instructions curated for success and efficiency. Commit code at sensible intervals, and if working from worktrees open, review, and merge PRs. Everything above is context and suggestion, I trust you to make the best decision.
