  NEW: The Trump admin clamped down on Anthropic following a spat over the company granting South Korean telecom giant SK Telecom access to Claude Mythos.  —  Why?  US officials were concerned the company may have ties to China.

  The interesting news is that the government is finally onboard with the exact AI threat that the safety folks talked about c.2022, “unless AI is perfect safe you can't deploy it”. Cruel to do it two days after we had Fable though.

• @ryanfedasiuk Ryan Fedasiuk on x

  Unironically: This is exactly the sort of anti-progress policy position I expect from the CCP, not the land of the free. I've been running around telling people I think the U.S. political system is better-positioned than China's to adapt to AI's disruptive effects. If the

• @leahlibresco Leah Libresco Sargeant on x

  We're going to see a lot of AI policy demands that look like: “Just turn the [jailbreaking/psychosis/sexting kids] switch to OFF.” Those switches do not exist. Building them is alignment, and we don't currently know how to do it. Best we can do is “less likely.”

• @shakeelhashim Shakeel on x

  If this is genuinely the White House's position, it does suggest they are unfairly picking on + bullying Anthropic IMO.

• @scaling01 @scaling01 on x

  There are two pillars of the US economy: - OpenAI and Anthropic guess what happens to markets when they start pricing in a slowdown in Anthropic's growth and the risk of frontier models generating 0 revenue all while the Strait is still closed and inflation is starting to ramp

  @WIRED At one point I was Chief Scientist of a hedge fund and our banker CEO got mad at the time it was taking to debug some critical software and said — “I don't understand you people. You're supposed to be so smart but you spend so much time getting bugs out of your software. W…

  For years I have been saying that LLMs are not reliable enough to be sound. That simple claim — which has never been refuted — is suddenly at the center of the universe. What Trump asks cannot be done. NO current system can completely resist circumvention. Either we curtail

• @benjaminmmurphy Ben Murphy on x

  Even if the goal is to prevent adversaries from accessing these models, we need a more precise instrument than export controls. It's in nobody's interest to bar labs from using their own models internally. Time for Congress to actually think through a licensing regime!

• @kimmonismus @kimmonismus on x

  That sounds very bad for a soon-to-be re-release of Fable 5. “Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done.” If this is true, [i…

  Hey @DavidSacks, I'm on stage tomorrow afternoon at the @BigTechnology AI Summit. I'm sure @Kantrowitz would be happy to let us have a debate about the real risks of Fable and the Admin's actions. 3:25pm, Commonwealth Club. See you there?

  Not sure where people got the idea that there could be a political dimension to how the admin treats Anthropic [image]

• @alexstamos Alex Stamos on x

  @DavidSacks So what is your position? Should Fable remain banned for an unwritten standard that no other model is held to and for capabilities that are available from Chinese open-weight models? Should the USG kneecap a US champion the week GLM 5.2 pulls even with Opus?

• @daniel_mac8 Dan McAteer on x

  David Sacks says: “We are on a shot clock until Mythos-level capabilities diffuse widely.”  It's true.  It's fascinating to imagine what the internal, un-guardrailed version of Mythos that Anthropic has, must be capable of.  In some amount of time, we don't know exactly how much,…
