      There is no harm to suspend something twice. Especially is the something doesn't exist :)

    > The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

    Not great as it does break workflows for some.

    > As we have stated publicly, we believe the government should have the ability to block unsafe deployments, as part of a statutory process that is transparent, fair, clear, and grounded in technical facts. This action does not adhere to those principles.

    Omg, did anyone else have to solve like 15 captchas while trying to signup for alerts? I gave up.

    feels like competitors influence over government to mess them up.

    > If this standard was applied across the industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new model deployments for all frontier model providers.

    Good. 4.8 is good enough.

      I felt this way about Sonnet 4.5 too, but it would be hard to go back to it now.

    Did Anthropic, unlike Open AI, forget to offer free equity to the government?

    “Thats a pretty nice IPO you got there… it would be a shame if something happened to it.”

    it took a long time for this to actually go out.

    for what id expect to be an in memory switch, 2-3h is a while

    Welcome to the permanent underclass everyone! Get out your license and registration for access to the next gen nerfed model.

    More free PR for anthropic. “Our models are so powerful the govt shut them down”. Insert image of Dario looking like his dog just died.

    So tired of the nonsense.

      Is there any evidence, anything whatsoever, that would convince you the models actually are so powerful?

        Maybe. Maybe not.

        His point is that Anthropic is likely doing this on purpose for their own IPO and to counter the other IPOs.

          Anthropic is... making the US government shut down their flagship model on purpose? The conspiratorial thinking on HN is approaching UFO subreddit levels.

          I don't see how one could possibly come to that conclusion, except by rejecting out of hand the idea that there could be a true threat requiring genuine caution.

        They didn't say they are. They said it is PR which is a type of marketing which has to do with perception not reality.

    So what now?

    They'll make a book with mythos's code and sell it like Phil Zimmerman did with PGP?

      Now the government uses AI as a way to check your ID online like age restriction but for citizenship. It's not about safety its about control.
