Trump is boxed in. Prepare accordingly.
I'm afraid to look at this point.

The U.S. - Iran deal looks good:
The Trump administration has agreed to the deal it wants, and Iran has agreed to deal it wants.
They’re not the same deal…but, hey, c’mon, details…

Iran’s Mehr news agency publishes the purported text of the draft agreement with Trump. It will keep the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control, will promise Iran $300 billion in reconstruction money in addition to an immediate cash transfer of $24 billion, a suspension of sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East. Also, a commitment not to bother Iran again about its missiles and proxies, and restraining Israel in Lebanon.
The U.S. gets in exchange a pinky promise to respect the NPT.
Let’s see what happens in coming days.
Link: mehrnews.com/news/6857718
Full text:
A permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
A U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran.
Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements determined by Iran.
Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and related derivatives, along with full Iranian access to the resulting financial revenues.
The United States and its allies would be required to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.
A 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a final agreement covering nuclear issues and the complete removal of U.S. primary and secondary sanctions, as well as the repeal of relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors.
Reaffirmation by Iran of its commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) not to produce nuclear weapons.
During the negotiation period, the United States would commit not to deploy additional forces to the region and not to impose any new sanctions.
The release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin.
Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to oversee implementation of the agreement.
The final agreement would be approved through a UN Security Council resolution.
Final negotiations would not begin before the release of half of Iran’s frozen assets, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the naval blockade. The final agreement would focus exclusively on the future of enriched nuclear material and uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and a program for rebuilding Iran’s economy. Discussion of Iran’s missile program and its support for resistance groups would be definitively excluded from the agenda.
As stated by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, this text still requires review and final approval by the relevant authorities in Iran.

In February 2026, Pete Hegseth demanded "unrestricted use" of Claude (i.e., without safeguards to protect American privacy). Anthropic refused. Personally, I think that's why they're in this mess. Anthropic wanted regulations. They got threats.
Took them a whole 24 hours to come up with this line. 😂 You'd think they would have led with this in all the leaks

Dear @DavidSacks: Anthropic states the capability at issue is used by cyber defenders. Anthropic also states other models such as ChatGPT 5.5 have the same capability. Do you agree?
anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:
— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.
— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)
— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.
— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”
— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.
— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.
— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.
— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

That was Mythos, not Fable 5, which Anthropic probably warned the government about. @MarkWarner is right. AI should be regulated. Another company will be able to do this soon enough.
Jun 11
On Mythos, from @MarkWarner in this morning's Senate Banking hearing: "the head of the NSA and Cyber Command came and said this tool broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours"; I had not seen that mentioned elsewhere?

Anthropic has pushed AI forward dramatically over the past two years. It's currently the crown jewel of US AI tech.
The Feds don't like @DarioAmodei because he won't do all their bidding. And so, we've now entering the Soviet-style propaganda portion of the program with the White House feeding every reporter it can find with laughable claims like Dario is unreachable at a wellness retreat. Come on.
I'd hoped the US would not be self-defeating on AI, since it's kinda one of the last hopes the US has versus China. But here we are . . . . already

The only way to compete with @elonmusk is to launch 100,000 satellites. It will happen one day.... but shouldn't space be regulated?

Everything Trump does is on an ad hoc basis. It's a problem. He hates regulations, but then randomly freaks out and shuts down corporations.
Excellent policy analysis on a very significant overnight development.
The US government's shock action against Anthropic's Mythos and the reverberating effects.

A transparent process would explain the basis on which a model gets banned so people could see whether this applied equally to equivalent model capabilities. Instead we have chest-thumping tweets from DoD.
Jun 13
Are they specifically trying to fuck with Anthropic or is the idea to apply this to any comparably powerful models from competitors?

I mean, I’m all for putting things into perspective, but when it comes to global warming, zooming out a couple thousand years is not exactly reassuring.

Lol.
Fable isn't the first.
In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.
Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

Why has the White House refused to put guardrails on AI?
The government shouldn’t take over Anthropic, CEO @DarioAmodei told me, though the current situation is “dangerous and unstable.”

‼️🚨 BREAKING: Amazon researchers snitched to the US government about jailbreaking Fable 5 and Mythos 5, forcing Anthropic to immediately shut down worldwide access.
A security export control directive from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick enforced the action.
Anthropic is fighting the directive and calls it a misunderstanding.
This isn't the first clash. The Trump administration had already tried to get Anthropic to pause the release of its latest models before this directive landed.
