For all its naysayers Gutenberg is a game changer for digital news apps. Its a force multiplier for your team. We've spent the last 3 years going "all in" on block development. Here's a little thread of what's possible with the right investment into Gutenberg

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

"Palestinian American woman held without charge by Israeli military: Soldiers arrested university student Sama Safi, 20, along with members of Palestinian women’s national soccer team" The US ambassador to Israel is too busy performing as the Israeli envoy to Washington to notice. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

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.

People keep saying we’re in Idiocracy but President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho at his core wanted what was best for his people and when evidence presented itself he listened to experts to solve the problem. By all accounts a better leader than this.

Seems like this should be a bigger story in the U.S., and it would be if the firm was Russian, Iranian, Chinese…

Feels like we’re getting psyoped. The end-game here is something bigger.
Breaking: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among the tech leaders who raised concerns to senior Trump officials this week re: security risks in Anthropic's newest models. Those convos set in motion the government's new export controls on foreign national access to Mythos and Fable.

It’s a little shocking how aggressively he rubs your nose in meritocracy not being real. Bill Gates at least tried to do clumsy philanthropic genius drag

What timeline are we on man. There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down. The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries. The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund. That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them. The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway. Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online. The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports. And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother. UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle. Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.
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…

The most likely place in the USA to see a tornado tomorrow is around Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, and Baltimore, MD. This is a Level 1 risk for tornadoes.
