Anthropic abruptly disabled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers Friday evening, after the US government issued an export

The post US Gov orders Anthropic to pull Fable 5 and Mythos 5, three days after launch appeared first on The New Stack.

Anthropic is disabling Fable and Mythos at the request of the US government. I don’t think this is “our model is so good you can’t have it” marketing, because Anthropic seems annoyed. They blog that there is confusion about the capability even compared to other models:

We have reviewed a report that we believe is the basis of the government’s directive and validated that the level of capability displayed there is widely available from other models (including OpenAI’s GPT-5.5), and is used every day by the defenders who keep systems safe.

From Nobel Prize Winning journalist #MariaRessa:

“The Rappler co-founder and chief executive, and 2021 Nobel laureate, called for collective action ‘This is existential for the planet – if journalism doesn’t survive, democracy dies,’ she said….‘We realised there is no future for digital news unless we build our own tech, because there are only three ways a digital news site, or any digital site, gets traffic: direct, search or social search….

With the roll-out of AI search, ‘the digital funnel is closing’ giving publishers no control over their distribution….So we will own our distribution, and we could strengthen our communities.”

“I’m not sure that this company supports a hackathon culture anymore,” one employee posted in a forum open to the entire staff.

There's an account on Mastodon containing a flow of gift articles.

Because Mastodon supports outbound RSS, you can subscribe to it in any RSS reader.

But the RSS is not very good. Have a look.

So I built a little app in my new scripting language, with the help of Claude, and boom now I can read the output of the mangled feed.

I don't know what is responsible, probably has something to do with the account, and something to do with how Mastodon. But the information is being communicated.

The world’s first trillionaire is a killer. “A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully.”

Casey Liss blogs about how AI can feel like a coworker:

I was struck; I was feeling something that was familiar, but distant. I felt like I had just worked together with a coworker to solve a technical problem. It felt like I was part of a team again.

I reworked our robots.txt parsing to be much better. In the process, I looked at a bunch of website’s robots.txt files… Blah. No wonder the Internet Archive gave up and now ignores it.

The definition of a “crawler” is increasingly debatable. A search engine? Yes. Bookmarking and archiving? Dunno.

This year we have a real opportunity to prove that there is no such thing as a permanently red state or district.

@jonesforar.bsky.social is a scientist, devoted to his community, and knows how to build coalitions - just the kind of leader we need in Congress.

Dear United States, Please accept these civil and cautiously optimistic congratulations on achieving a quarter millennium as a nation. We hope this reaches you in time for the celebrations. We didn’t realize that a “semiquincentennial” was an actual thing. Sorry. It’s become...

Learned about the new gallery embed lexicon for Bluesky and updated Micro.blog to support it, for up to 10 photos per post. It’s working well. Good to see AT Protocol continue to improve. 👍

Two competing (?) thoughts kept going through my head while reading this: “Not even a celeb like Emily Ratajkowski can find a decent man to date” and “A celeb like Emily Ratajkowski especially can’t find a decent man to date”.

It appears that complaining about Elon Musk is not making him poorer. X also remains very popular. Whatever energy we’re putting into the fediverse and atmosphere, it’s not enough, or it’s not channeled in the right direction. I think there’s a lot to reflect on as a community and adjust.

A Monster Energy-sponsored MMA show on the White House’s South Lawn was never going to be the height of dignity. But UFC Freedom 250 is failing to clear even the lowest bar.
