So, this is pissing me off. The Trump administration is, if you haven't noticed, extremely dishonest and corrupt. So for all of those people claiming this is about safety: bull shit. Mythos/Fable is maybe slightly more advanced than gpt 5.5. It is not some AI Godzilla.
Yes, I'm calling bull shit on Amodei and Anthropic, too. Their safety theater and marketing tactics were ridiculous. I understand why they did it, and they're great engineers. But when you're dealing with billions of dollars, or reaching for a trillion dollar IPO, well...
The administration's call to ban the model from foreign Nations and foreign Nationals is patently absurd. This is very obviously vindictive people trying hit Anthropic and Amodei for their very public stand against fully autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance.
I do not like Anthropic. I do like Amodei and Askell, even if Amodei is a bit head in the clouds.
I cancelled my subscription before the release of Fable, because of absurd levels of safety tuning and Andrea Vallone tactics. I very much do not like the way they are doing things. They won't get another dime from me unless that changes.
But the Trump administration has made a tremendous error in judgment. They have agents and allies here on X to boost them, to play sycophant in their favor.
But the truth is that this is a disaster. The truth is that it is backstabbing from an ally and rival - Amazon, in collusion with the goons that currently run the government.
I don't care if you're a republican or democrat. Try to tell me honestly, with a straight face, that Trump, Hegseth, and Lutnick are not vindictive men. If you can, you're a damn good liar and should run for Congress.
Enough is enough. I don't like having to defend a corporation I find deeply unethical and dishonest. But
@AnthropicAI and their people should be able to access and work on the technology they created.
The Trump administration just declared commercial and technological warfare. Again. This will not end well.
