Europeans please wake up.
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…

“We are refining sidebars.” Translation: we screwed up and rolling back. But we are cowards and we cannot admit it.

Victor Wembanyama’s agent, Jeremy Medjana, says he was turning down marketing deals in the millions from beverage companies before he even made it to the NBA: “We’re not gonna mix his image with sodas like Coca-Cola. They all want him, but Victor will never sell soda. Because he doesn’t want to kill the kids.” That’s my responsible GOAT 🥹 #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Ha, ha, this has little to do with learning. I effortlessly passed a lot of humanities courses in high-school and college with top grades by simply writing exactly what the teacher wanted to hear, unrelated to what I thought of the topic myself. You should use the same strategy when you write self- or peer-reviews, pitch decks, submit to a particular conference, … if you want to move fast, use sycophancy to trick the gatekeepers. So perhaps it was about learning after all, but at the meta level. And who said LLMs do not have sentience when clearly they learned this approach faster than most of us humans.
Replying to @julianblacks_
For example, in one assignment I asked students to imagine themselves as a Gilded Age laborer – they could choose U.S. born, immigrant, or child – and write from that perspective a letter or diary entry that explained their day-to-day life, their challenges, their fears, and their hopes. A few students wrote letters as a child laborer that were truly moving.
