I can just picture Dario saying “of course, in principle, a universal jailbreak is always a possibility”, sending all natsec minded people through the ceiling (again)

Hilariously it was clear that Anthropic convinced the government their models are far ahead. Meanwhile OpenAI drops far bigger godshogs behind dropdowns and CLI switches and points at their free mini smol models like any competent org should who wants to avoid the ban hammer.

I'm curious if this can avoid the fate of the past attempts at rev-share advertising platforms. There were a slew of these during the dot com bubble. When I was in college, we just set up scripts to watch the ads for weekend beer money until the companies shut down.
Get paid to wait The Claude Code spinner might be the most watched line on Earth. So I turned it into an ad marketplace. Advertisers bid on it. You keep 50% of the money. Install the extension → get cash from ads. Introducing Kickbacks

I'm moving from "Anthropic could be nationalized" to "Anthropic should be nationalized." Be it malice or incompetence, they are generating chaos for no good reason, and seem clueless as to how and why this is happening to them. This organization can't be trusted with ASI.
Parsing this evening's events: - The U.S. government approved the release of Fable 5 to the public, clearly under the presumption that the model's cybersecurity capabilities cannot be accessed by hackers, authoritarian regimes, etc. - Recently (today?), "another company" showed the U.S. government that a jailbreak of Fable 5 *is possible*. Yes, a minor jailbreak - but how can a non-technical government official be assured that there aren't also other, more dangerous, jailbreaks in this model that won't be discovered by the CCP? - Anthropic states, completely correctly, that: "We suspect that perfect jailbreak resistance is not currently possible for any model provider. Every safeguard used in the industry is vulnerable to non-universal jailbreaks (which can elicit some cyber information in specific circumstances), and it is likely that universal jailbreaks will eventually be found in the future. We stated this clearly when we released Fable 5." - My best guess is that the U.S. government did not fully realize this at the time when the release of Fable 5 was approved. - Per Axios, the government contacted Anthropic and asked to "pause releasing the... models but was unsuccessful" - i.e., Anthropic told the government to pound sand. - Per Axios, this "prompt[ed] the export control letter". - Per Axios, the U.S. government is *NOT* looking to restrict access to Fable to U.S. nationals forever. "The model needs to remain locked down until the U.S. governent's national security apparatus is hardened", which "could happen in a few weeks". - I interpret Anthropic's reaction as challenging the government: "we believe the government should have the ability to block unsafe deployments, as part of a statutory process that is transparent, fair, clear, and grounded in technical facts. This action does not adhere to those principles." If the Axios article is correct, I do not think any other model providers have anything to fear based solely on this evening's events, because: (1) they would hopefully be smarter than downright rejecting a request by the U.S. government to pause releasing a model, and (2) they will be required anyway under the recent executive order to give the U.S. government at least 30 days to test the model for cybersecurity capabilities - during which time the U.S. government would also be able to shore up its own cybersecurity defenses with the same model. I remain extremely concerned that actions by one particular U.S. lab over the last few months might be moving us closer and closer to the scenario where at least that lab - and potentially all others - will be nationalized.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

I’m not happy about it because chaos in the US AI sector is bad for all of us, but this has to be the most biblical example of FAFO we will ever witness

Maybe I'm the only one here but I think the government just doesn't trust Anthropic (shocking) and so is being extremely conservative

JUST IN: SpaceX is now worth more than Canada
Community note
SpaceX's market cap is about $2 trillion. Canada's GDP is about $2.5 trillion per year. The post compares the company's valuation to the country's annual economic output. finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPAX.PVT/ worldometers.info/gdp/canada-gdp/

SpaceX and Meta are inverted bets on if humanity expands into space or into The Matrix. Physics and game theory make me believe nobody, including us, expand beyond their solar system’s planets, because doing so is a civilizational hard fork.
SpaceX is not worth $800 million more than Meta what the hell is happening rn

I'll admit when they shared their Golden Gate Claude demo I wasn't so cynical enough to jump to the conclusion that one of the goals was to intentionally make the model act dumber.
They're not really reversing anything as much as they're making their system straight up refuse with ML tasks. But the problem is that Anthropic showed their hand. They showed that they can use steering vectors to degrade outputs on specific subjects.

Really glad to see Dario's essay explaining why silently degrading model capabilities like that was fundamentally corrosive and dangerous to the whole world, and, having now understood the implications, Anthropic will never, ever do it again.

The government can largely de-risk AI by forcing labs to eventually disclose the weights and inference pipelines for any model released to the public. It's hard to imagine any other alternative where we don't end up with a few AI labs controlling the world.

Replying to @perrymetzger
You might be interested: everyone talks about SBF's huge anthropic investment. What gets lost is that the $500 million stake, made up *entirely* of stolen funds, was 86% of the entire series B. Anthropic was built with stolen funds.

Imagine for a second if the next wave of frontier models were all like this. It's always a possibility. Then what?
I'm sorry, but this is just a completely unacceptable state of affairs This is completely normal SaaS knowledge management app, and a normal prompt But somehow High Priest Dario and his minions have decided that my request is a safety risk, so it won't be served Just complete and total bullshit I hope this company fails
