Anthropic declares: "Mythos is too dangerous too release to the public" Proceeds to release Mythos plus safety guardrails as Fable. Amazon removes guardrails from Fable, getting access to Mythos. Government takes Anthropic's word for it and tells them to pull it until the guardrails can't be removed. They refuse. Government forces them.

Unfortunately saying it in the press is going to make it even harder for them in the current environment. I know this administration gets non-trivial support from the valley, but what to most outsiders seems like "targeting businesses based on personal vibes" is going to do long-term harm to the U.S.

I hope those who represent technology in government, especially the AI head David Sacks are giving this due consideration.

This. They also wanted more regulation around AI. I'm guessing they're no longer quite as interested in this.

Anthropic sowing: Hehe yeah guys check out this model it's super duper scary and powerful it's a huge deal Anthropic reaping: Hey wait a second you weren't supposed to take that seriously it was just marketing :(

Was it not just a few weeks ago the government was telling Anthropic to take the guardrails off of the "super duper scary" models?

Now they want them back on?

AI for me and not for thee?

Or just another opportunity for a petulant administration to target Anthropic for not doing what they wanted the first time?
