NEW: Inside the 24-hrs before WH slapped export controls on Anthropic - Last Thursday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raised concerns about Fable jailbreak to Trump admin - Friday AM, Sean Cairncross, Bessent, Susie etc. held WH call to discuss - Then White House started reaching out to Anthropic to speak with Dario Amodei, who was at a wellness retreat. - When Amodei was finally available past 1pm, he had three tense phone calls with a combo of ppl including Cairncross, Bessent, Lutnick, Kessler, Will Scharf, Richard Walters, and Walker Barrett. -Amodei tried to clear up what he assumed was a misunderstanding. He defended the guardrails and distinguished between universal and non-universal jailbreak - Cairncross and Bessent were unmoved and asked Amodei to take down Fable and work with the admin to fix the vulnerabilities. (A WH official said Amazon’s findings were run past the NSA and they felt they had “proof.”) - Amodei asked for more time and info, but he made no commitments to pull the model - Bessent told Amodei directly at one point that he was making a “bad decision” - By Friday evening, the Trump admin imposed its export controls. - “Export controls were a last resort after begging them for hours to work with us,” senior WH official said.

I'm just glad nobody at the US government thought to try that Fable 5 "jailbreak" against Opus 4.x or GPT 5.x, or I wouldn't be getting anything useful done this weekend at all

It's 2026 and the California government can't keep their website up and running without interruptions for "Scheduled maintenance". If we operated our companies this way we would be out of business. @CalFTB @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom

"Today we celebrate one of the great American companies, a California company going public..." Oh wait....

Most people don't understand the difference between having billions in the bank, liquid, & having ownership shares in companies worth billions. And I think it would behoove the media to explain this once in a while.

I’ll take Elon’s track record of managing capital over Congress’ Prove that you can responsibly manage tax dollars by driving out fraud & waste before asking for more dollars to be shoveled in the incinerator

men look at the accomplishments of great men in awe. they feel proud, inspired, and want to be great as well. parasites rub their greedy little insect hands together and say "that's mine." ro khanna is a parasite.

When you have to put down your personal wealth to solve a problem, you are incentivized to solve it. When you confiscate money from others to solve a problem, you are incentivized to keep it unsolved.

Thanks, Elon. And thanks to you too, Gavin.

It will never not be funny to me that Texas is the Renewable Energy Capital of America

Ro, you’re lying and you know it. You compared a man’s net worth to a country’s GDP. A balance sheet to a year of output. You went to Yale. You learned the difference between a stock and annual output flow. But being a politician and lawyer, you love to lie and gaslight the economic illiterates, it’s your entire business model. You want a 5% tax on Elon to fund free trade school for every American. Trade school costs $80B/yr, you can’t even fund a year. Elon doesn’t have $55B in cash. It’s stock. You know this. To pay, he sells roughly $70B of Tesla and SpaceX shares, and the sale itself gets taxed on top. SpaceX raised $75B at its IPO this morning at a $1.77 trillion valuation. Imagine him selling that amount every year. Ro isn’t taxing Elon. He’s taxing everyone who gas exposure to the market. Every pension fund and index fund on the planet gets wrecked. And given Ro, he’ll insider trade and short before the bill passes. And for what? To rip capital from the best allocator alive and hand it to the most incompetent institution in human history. Elon turned PayPal gains into Tesla and SpaceX: 120,000 jobs, launch costs down 90%, two industries that didn’t exist, a $1.77 trillion company from nothing. You’ve never built anything. You’ve never employed anyone. You’ve never created a dollar of value in your life. You collect a government salary and demand tribute from men who do what you can’t. Your machine spends $7 trillion a year and still runs a $1.8 trillion deficit. It loses up to $521 billion a year to fraud. More than your entire tax raises. The Department of Education went from $34 billion in 2000 to $268 billion in 2024. 8x the money. Reading scores at multi-decade lows. Trade schools still unfunded. You don’t lack money. You lack competence, and you want Elon to subsidize it. You haven’t donated your wealth. You haven’t moved into government housing. Empty your accounts first, Ro. Then preach. Elon’s options get taxed as ordinary income at the top rate when exercised. Over $500 billion in lifetime taxes, the largest tax stream from one human ever. You want $55 billion now in a way that craters the shares the $500 billion depends on. Your tax doesn’t raise money. It kills the companies, kills the jobs, kills the pensions, and torches a bigger check already in the mail. You’re the monkey in the middle, Ro. You can’t build. You can’t allocate. You can’t even count. So you eat from everyone else’s pie and call it fairness.

Over 4000 workers just became millionaires by owning the means of production and the socialists are pissed

When they take your AI away, you realize that AI is more akin to a utility or basic service.

🤦🏽‍♂️

It was a historic day for markets. Over 500 million shares of SpaceX, $SPCX, were traded today, with volume exceeding $80 BILLION. SpaceX is now the 7th largest public company in the world. Congratulations to all!

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…
