my god the reason is so so much dumber than we thought lmao
New update on Fable 5: and it's less about jailbreaks than anyone initially thought. Via Axios
The Axios story that just dropped today reframes the whole thing: Anthropic hired a cybersecurity expert to review Amazon's findings and push back on the government's narrative.
The administration viewed her as a "radical Democrat." She was then publicly celebrated by Chris Krebs, the official Trump just fired. That didn't help.
Behind the scenes, officials describe a company that simply doesn't know how to talk to this administration. "It's like they just speak different languages," one source said.
"Everybody said Anthropic was a bad actor. Some of us said it was time to give them a chance. Now those people are questioning that. They screwed us."
Today: Anthropic staffers meet with Commerce, the CIA, and White House science advisor Michael Kratsios to work through compliance with the cyber executive order.
The technical question - can Fable 5 be jailbroken - is almost secondary now. This is a story about a company that keeps losing the room.
Ill keep you updated.
