The plot keeps plotting
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.

Now @giacomozucco takes @BTCPrague’s main stage to talk about Bitcoin in Europe. There are plenty of big projects born in this continent. Some are already gone, but there were important for what we’ve today.

🇦🇷Argentina's cabinet chief Manuel Adorni says bitcoin explains the roughly $500K he hid from tax authorities. His story starts in 2014, but the chain, his old videos and his filings don't line up. My latest for @Forbes ✍️ Featuring @fergmolina, @franamati & @CarlosMaslaton

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…

You are contorting words and definitions to rationalize your own economic incentive, falsely suggesting there is not objectivity (merely different frames) and you have a misunderstanding about volatility. Bitcoin is volatile because it is in the process of being adopted as a new form of money. Every new adopter is pricing bitcoin for the first time, with limited information. The volatility you are trying to engineer around is circular in its logic. The only path to stability is through mass adoption, which necessitates volatility (new adopters pricing it for the first time). Bitcoin will not be volatile when incremental adoption can only represent a fraction rather than a multiple or order of magnitude. Rather than helping people understand bitcoin, your solution is to get them into a bitcoin derivative product that you're selling as not volatile but it will be in any event of market stress, maybe less so than bitcoin but still volatile because it is expressly and inextricably linked to bitcoin and bitcoin adoption. When the bitcoin price goes down significantly, there will always be an incentive to sell your preferred and buy bitcoin because the market interest rate of bitcoin has reset higher when it declines. And related to that is why there's no real long term holder basis for the preferreds (it's a temporary holding pen for everyone) but it does create a permanent capital base for your corporation, if you can sell it. Rather than help people understand bitcoin and manage volatility very logically with an allocation to bitcoin that mutes its volatility, you want people to buy your corporation's stock. And the piece about bitcoin payments is a misnomer. It's a spend vs. save dilemma and spending bitcoin is downstream from someone first coming to understand why bitcoin stores value. But you do not have an incentive in that because you're just trying to justify people buying your corporate stock rather than bitcoin. I'd encourage you to be introspective and to read this piece on volatility to reconsider your rationalization. nakamotoinstitute.org/librar…
