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.

Regardless of who is right, you do have to marvel at Anthropic's ability to win stupid prizes by playing stupid games.

Opening Statement. 🇺🇸

When politicians say they want to seize/tax "wealth" but actually mean "shares in your own company that you yourself founded", the real point is making it impossible for anyone to actually control their own company for more than a decade. They won't let you stay, either.

Pretty crazy that Elon is only worth $1 Trillion Thats like 200 miles of California high speed rail

Dems will look you straight in the face and tell you this is evil while they advocate to steal more of your money to pay for hospice scams in California

Ambidextrous pitcher 🤯 Cardinals prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje notched strikeouts as a righty AND a lefty last night!

Also benched 290x3 today. 3rd rep was a grind, but not the all-out grind that 315x1 was. (Though I also fixed the leg drive a bit so that there's more tension in my back arch.)

Really telling that how freeing Pastor Jin is the issue that triggered the pro-CCP shills. A good reminder of how the Chinese Communist Party and its defenders are openly hostile to Christianity.

President Trump should make clear that negotiations will not proceed, and Xi’s visit to Washington will be postponed, without the release of several political prisoners, including Jimmy Lai, Pastor Jin, Gulshan Abbas, and others. My latest with @OliviaEnos in @dcexaminer

Not enough people are talking about how several arsonists just set fire to Spencer Pratt’s office.

Don’t you find it strange that **suddenly** the Financial Times and The Economist hate capitalism?

The BOWSER Act already has 10 House co-sponsors plus support in the Senate. If passed, DC would immediately be controlled by Congress and President Trump, not Mamdani Democrats. This is a MUST pass bill for 2026.

One of the strongest arguments to abolish home rule for DC: hospitality. When foreign dignitaries and other guests visit DC, ensuring they have a safe and pleasant visit should be the collective responsibility of Congress. That duty should not be delegated to a local government.

How about Eric Schmitt with the DIVING PLAY #PMSLive

Feels like the timeline is turning into Moltbook A slurry of writing that’s all very correct and polished and florid, and all lifeless in exactly the same way It would actually be better if people just tweeted the prompt they gave Claude rather than the output it gave them
