A short history of how we got here, because the chronology is the whole story. January: the Pentagon demands unrestricted use of Claude for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. Anthropic says no. February: the President orders every federal agency to drop Anthropic. The Defense Secretary bans Pentagon contractors from doing business with them. A rival announces its classified-network deal within hours. March: the Pentagon designates an American company a "supply chain risk" under a statute written for foreign adversaries. A federal judge blocks it. May: the Pentagon signs AI deals with seven companies. Anthropic is not one of them. June 9: Anthropic releases Fable 5. June 12: Commerce issues an export control directive over a jailbreak that, by the government's own account, was demonstrated verbally, came with no written explanation, and involves a capability you can get from other publicly available models today. Two things are true at once. First: Anthropic spent months marketing Mythos as too dangerous to release. Sam Altman said it was "incredible marketing to say we have built a bomb." The Commerce Department has now formally agreed it is a bomb. If you describe your product as a munition in every press release, eventually a government takes you at your word. They wrote the legal predicate themselves and called it a brand. Second: we have run this experiment before. In the 90s the government classified encryption as a munition under ITAR. Activists defeated it by printing PGP's source code as a book, because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. A t-shirt with three lines of RSA Perl was legally a munition. The controls collapsed because math does not stop at customs. The new wrinkle is the "deemed export" rule: showing controlled technology to a foreign national inside the US counts as exporting it abroad. Which is why Anthropic's own foreign-national employees are now locked out of the model they built. The munition is in the building and the people who made it are not allowed to look at it. The jailbreak is the paperwork. The refusal was in January.
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…

With the release of Fable 5, it would seem that @AnthropicAI's intent is to allow dual-use activity on Mythos-class models only via the invite-only Project Glasswing (or similar). Anthropic already had its Cyber Verification Program (CVP) for researchers and companies with legitimate use cases in cybersecurity. However, not even those have yet been given a pass, nor communicated of a way forward, when it comes to the new class of models. It rings of a dangerous business decision. They might have dressed it up with pretty safety concerns, but that does not make it true. The cybercriminals do not concern themselves with identity verification or approval; they'll obtain access by jailbreaking and by compromising legitimate access credentials. It won't be long until ill-intended actors leverage Mythos for malicious attacks against independent developers, security researchers and startups which Anthropic seemingly already made the choice to leave with no means of using the same class of models to protect themselves.

Implementaram censura da mídia na frente dos nossos olhos e o pior com o apoio irrestrito da esquerda e das big techs. Se você não enxerga isso, você é MUITO BURRO.

Querem colocar limite na liberdade de expressão? ok... quem coloca o limite, o estado? o seu chefe? Você está então de acordo, que alguém possa controlar na sociedade os pensamentos que podem ser expressados ou não? Liberdade é com certeza perigosa, porém censura é fatal.
