Dario (48 hours ago): “US gov should be able to block model deployment” USG: *export controls models* Dario: “not like that”

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.

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…

The dating market is brutal. Elizabeth Bruch, a professor of sociology at the University of Michigan analysed data from online dating. Here are some things she discovered… -Men’s desirability peaks at ages 40-50. But women’s desirability starts highest at age 18 and falls throughout their lifespan. -Both men and women pursue partners who are on average about 25% more desirable than themselves. -Women’s prospects dim as they achieve the highest level of education. -Almost no one messages users less desirable than they are. Everyone’s understanding of their place in the hierarchy is very accurate. -Men experience lower reply rates when they write more positively worded messages.

Introduire une notion de mérite au système de retraite est la pire idée possible. Le système de retraite socialisé est par définition sensé garantir la fin de vie. Il faut donc revenir à cette définition et raboter les plus grosses pensions. Le système doit garantir le minimum.

mythos will be bad ON PURPOSE on ai "frontier llm research" tasks, this is very very sad for the research community also the fact that this is un purpose not visible to the user is crazy

In light of Anthropic’s policy decision, I am withdrawing my amicus brief signature. I can’t truthfully argue they’re not a supply chain risk. 😞

What a nightmare this piece is, about a young guy who gets ambushed by internet vigilantes who falsely accuse him of being a child predator on a ginormous livestream. This kind of stuff really makes me pity the Gen Z dating scene. Getting to know strangers is hard enough without recording devices turning the world into a panopticon, and every night into a potential viral humiliation, and meanwhile there's a tiny part of you worried the person you're messaging is working with an online celebrity to publicly shame you. nytimes.com/2026/06/10/techn…

Capable model but the guardrails are nuts and the privacy worse. It may be a huge privacy leak for GBrain. Commits you to 30-day retention human review, including if you use your own cloud, e.g. on Bedrock the data leaves AWS's security boundary. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ant…
