Premium Newsletter: Part 1 of my series covering how the AI "revolution" is part of a larger Silicon Valley Bubble, where grifts replace value and cults of personality crush innovation.
Both Anthropic and OpenAI have become bubbles unto themselves.

I really love the people who are desperately trying to suggest this is "bullish for Anthropic" and "proof that Mythos/Fable is the path to AGI." It's a bunch of Business Idiots getting scared by ghost stories and throwing their weight around. It's also very funny

Dario Amodei Elizabeth Holmes voice'd too close to the sun with his big promises and proclamations. And it's weird that the government seems to be saying that there was a jailbreak they wouldn't fix? I guess more reporting will come out, but seems Wario is pushing his luck
I’d rather take the explanation provided by Amazon at face value: Amazon/AWS noticed vulnerabilities of the new Fable model and shared them with the govt. They weren’t alone either. I don’t think Amazon would tactically sabotage Ant. It’s against their own interest to do so.

JUST IN: Anthropic says a “huge percentage” of its own employees are now barred from accessing Fable 5 & Mythos 5 under U.S. restrictions.

Is Amazon trying to kill Anthropic
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 seems like the massive ramp in Anthropic’s revenue was due to a single digit number of mega corps going full AI crazy and massively overspending, Meta probably being the biggest offender. AI lab revenue will obviously continue upward, but that crazy inflection in Anthropic’s numbers was likely just a temporary phenomenon due to companies racing to catch up, and not really an indicator of which lab is actually ahead

This is so wild. Deliberate strategic move by Amazon? Or Mr. Bean style goofiness that cuts weirdly with the scaremongering marketing campaign? Who knows!

Wall Street Journal is reporting that Amazon reported the jailbreaks to the Department of Commerce, who instituted the ban

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.

All you weak, spineless, pathetic, sneering little digital cowards that ghosted creatives like me because we immediately saw the power of gen-AI for independent storytellers… How’s your summer going?

This is good advice but also one cannot overstate that a lot of it comes down to "keep doing it and keep doing it regularly."
Took a year of newsletters before I got to 1000 subscribers. took four more to get to 104k subs/400k or so unique monthly visitors

This has long been my advice to a young person looking to break into journalism.
Three steps:
1) Find some public data that most people are ignoring.
2) Really learn what it measures and how to aggregate and present it.
3) Through posting, become the expert everyone turns to.
