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…

Today, we filed a lawsuit to permanently dismantle a group of organized cybercriminals accused of using AI tools — including Gemini — to scam Americans via fake text campaigns. Here’s what to know: ◾Our suit targets core software developers in a cybercrime operation known as the “Outside Enterprise.” The group has allegedly weaponized AI to quickly generate highly convincing fake government and brand websites intended to steal victims’ credit card numbers and personal information. ◾The group used AI and different Google products — including our trademarks and logos — as part of these phishing campaigns. ◾The scale of the operation is massive: More than 100,000 victims have been scammed, with losses estimated in the millions.

New on Substack: How to Beat the Algorithmic Fascist Beast Rupert Lowe posted one word and got sixty million views. Here's why that number is a lie, and what you can do about it: X's algorithm does not read sentiment. It reads engagement. Your angry reply is algorithmically identical to a supportive one. Every dunk, every quote-tweet, every "can you believe this" is rocket fuel for the content you oppose. Peer-reviewed research in PNAS, ACM FAccT, and a MDPI systematic review of 30 studies all confirm X's algorithm amplifies right-wing content by default. The PNAS study found this replicated across seven countries. A pre-registered experiment (Milli et al., 2025, PNAS Nexus) found the algorithm amplifies "emotionally charged, out-group hostile content" that users themselves say they don't want to see. The algorithm overrides your preferences. Analysis of the 2026 open-sourced code found that mass blocking acts as a negative quality signal: "If many people block you, the algorithm treats it as a quality signal and reduces your distribution more broadly". Based on these documented mechanics, mass blocking would collapse engagement rates, degrade algorithmic quality scores, and sever the pipeline that pushes far-right content into centrist feeds. This applies to the whole network: Lowe, Farage, Reform, Restore Britain, Tate, Robinson, GB News, and every mid-tier amplification node in between. The far right needs your outrage. Without it, sixty million becomes a fraction. The algorithm only runs if you feed it. Block. Mute. Don't engage. Starve the machine. And more importantly, take action in the real world.
