Ever since Friday evening @vonderleyen has posted about Ukraine, Moldova, the EU budget and a Swiss referendum. — not a word about the fact that an ally cut off EU citizens’ access to cutting-edge tech.
Nothing from @HennaVirkkunen either.
EU countries’ ambassadors - who steer a big part of the conversation in Brussels - met today, but the US Anthropic order was not on the agenda.
Tech is still not top of the political agenda, and as long it is not, nothing will change.
The goal of preventive healthcare should be simple: fewer viruses, fewer surprises, and fewer reimbursement mysteries. 🦠💉💶

The ideal healthcare system:
"Here's what you need, and here's what's covered."
The reality: opens 10 search tabs to figure it out 🥵

The US just ordered Anthropic to block all foreign nationals - inside and outside the country, including its own employees - from its top AI models. The company couldn’t comply selectively, so it shut Fable 5 & Mythos 5 down for everyone.
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.

The kicker? The stated trigger was a jailbreak that reportedly works on rival models too—which face no such controls. Export advanced chips to China, but ban Britain from your best model? Incoherent.
The precedent outlasts the outage. Every government now knows: depending on another nation’s AI means depending on its export politics. Expect sovereign AI programs everywhere. These controls accelerate the fragmentation they meant to prevent.
Preventive healthcare only works when people know what is recommended and what is covered.
Clarity saves both money and lives. 💶✅

When new leadership positions are created or revived, transparency in recruitment and selection is essential to maintaining public trust!

Government: "We've appointed a Commissioner."
Me: "Nice, when did the position become vacant?"
Government: "2020."
Me: "Oh, so this is a historical reenactment." 🤓
Public institutions work best when roles and responsibilities are clearly defined.
Overlapping mandates can create confusion instead of coordination.
