Exactly - it effectively is a "jail break" since it accomplishes something the model's security filter was trying to prevent, and the ridiculous simplicity of it shows just how broken that type of security is. I wonder if Dario is now regretting hyping up how dangerous the model is? How does he walk this back? Do the feds let him just put a band-aid on it?

I also have a 100% success rate jail breaking them by breaking the work down into small pieces and stripping all security related language. Smaller tasks, test engineering and normal programming language. Fable found a few bugs in my harness for me before they pulled it. I was testing it vs ChatGPT, Gemini, and Opus. It was doing well at bug hunting.

I left Fable scanning one of my repos when it first came out and found a couple of critical flaws. Funnily, though, I just let GLM5.2 run because I was convinced everything was good now, but it also found two good bugs that Fable missed.

I don’t think that’s accurate. Export control is a total ban, for 350 million citizens and everyone else, just via a legal technicality/exploit. All of the government’s options to retire/ban Fable entirely would have required expensive protracted (potentially years long) legal battles. The government wanted to make Anthropic feel pain in the short term, so they looked around for pre existing laws that could be exploi…

Why Anthropic can't ask users for passports and provide Fable only to the ones that certify?

Wouldn't that be extremely intrusive as to allow them to hold millions of American passports info on their DBs for an uncontrolled amount of time?
