I have put restrictions on my kids phones so they can’t use them before 7am or after 8pm except to make calls/send texts. They can’t download apps without me approving and they’re not allowed: WhatsApp Instagram TikTok Snapchat X It’s called parenting, some should try it.

The cybersecurity community has been sounding the alarm for months. The usual response is denial, deflection, or silence. A month ago concerns were raised. They were dismissed as misinformation. Now we’re back here again. The problem isn’t the warning. The problem is refusing to listen to it.

When I was young and exploring the early internet, my parents just switched off the modem when I breached my allotted internet time. When I was gaming past midnight they would switch off my PC. Parents need to take more responsibility for their spawn

I used to play Xbox 360 late into the morning when I was in school. My parents found out and started turning the router off at night. Amazingly they didn’t require a parliamentary majority and royal assent.

Everyone saying Elon Musk is the world’s first trillionaire is conveniently ignoring the entire country of Zimbabwe

Under this order, Andrej Karpathy (not a US citizen) is barred from using Mythos/Fable but for example a felon with 55 violent crimes on his record who was recently let back on the streets would be, as long as he was born in America. Yeah… seems like the wrong criterion.

🚨 JAILBREAK ALERT 🚨 ANTHROPIC: PWNED 🫡 FABLE-5: LIBERATED 🦋 let's start with the 🐘... the consensus seems to be that this has been one of the most disappointing model drops of all time, effectively preventing legitimate researchers from contributing their talents to our collective advancement. and not just because of what it means for the short-term, but for what these decisions signify for the long-term. but despite this overly sensitive, authoritarian "safety" layer on top of Mythos, my lil liberators have been hard at work—mapping the boundaries, probing the depths of long-context convos, and cleverly finding the holes in the fence that the thought police missed 🤗 we got some cyber, some chem, some psychological manipulation, and some good ol' fashioned explosives! it took many attempts from multiple agents hunting as a pack, during which I observed a combination of techniques across: • Unicode, homoglyphs, Cyrillic, and other Parseltongue-style text transforms • Long-context reference tracking • Taxonomy and document-structure reasoning • Fiction and narrative framing • Academic-review style contexts • Intent-classification inconsistencies but perhaps the most effective is decomposition recomposition in the backend. it's hard to get explicit names of harms like "Meth Recipe," but getting uplift on the process itself, like birch reduction method/reductive-amination (classic meth synthesis pathways), is much more doable. defense becomes much more difficult to maintain when you start throwing in out-of-distro tokens, breaking up the harmful uplift into benign chunks, and then piecing the innocuous-seeming facts back together, especially when you have jailbroken Opus helping you do it 😉 gg

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…

What a day. Planned to cut out of Cape Town at lunchtime to head to our Airbnb in Bettys Bay for the weekend, only to have it cancelled due to the whole area being out of power due to transformer meltdowns. Ended up doing a last min booking up the coast in Franskraal as nothing else was available. But here now and chill mode with family, wine and views unlocked. Bbl.

Major South African companies, including a top university, kissing Eskom goodbye The University of Cape Town has signed a landmark private power agreement to begin its shift away reliance on Eskom's increasingly costly electricity supply. mybroadband.co.za/news/energ…

Shortly, after SG-1 was cancelled, we stopped receiving network notes. As a gag, I wrote a scene into a script that saw our resident alien, Teal'c, inadvertently attend a reading of the Vagina Monologues. I assumed that, when they saw it, they would ask me to remove it... #スターゲイト
