Mildly surprising they lifted export restrictions for Mythos too. Isn’t that Fable minus the safety layer?

Presumably there are different levels of safety. I assumed Fable was a nerfed Mythos, and not just via safety harnesses but actual model degredation.

Who knows - this could be the last model we see from Anthropic. Or it just becomes the wild west and we figure it out as we go.

Isn't it the wild west already?

On a lark, I asked Claude to compare AI to the wild west a while ago. It raised three points of similarity:

- Land-grab economics

- Lack of regulation

- Changing social and professional attitudes.

Whatever it is, it's a wild ride regardless.

So after this publicity they got, they will release a locked down version of the models, did I get that right?

Sounds more like they are implementing mass surveillance and reporting whatever the US Gov wants for 'security reasons' back to them.

The damage is done. You cannot build a business critical function on top of American SOTA frontier model. Especially not with the current crew in charge.

Now whether AI tech is in the same league as say Nuclear tech and therefore by any reasonable standard should be regulated is a different question.

We hit the slippery slope on a random day in June 2026 and there is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Any exec or manager that puts load bearing weight on top of Anthropic/OpenAI/Google/AmericanCorp frontier model deserves the stress.

Yeah, it feels like a honeypot at this point. Gonna go with GLM instead
