It really annoys me how they report this stuff like they’ve gone on safari to do scientific observation Claude is a computer program that they created These are simply their own security errors being reported as if they are scientific achievements It’s bad enough that they don’t seem to think they need to be responsible for their own mistakes But the worst part of it is they try to use their own mistakes as an excuse to control the behavior of other people There is an amazing arrogance to the whole thing, like they are completely above reproach and cannot possibly be wrong about anything

My opinion is that Mythos is the current best model but not actually some world-changing dangerous model, and that anthropic did their usual song and dance about safety largely because they didn’t have enough compute to serve it at scale So then they launched Fable because they still have to think about the IPO, but they are still somewhat compute limited so they put all sorts of restrictions on it Around the same time, because they are trying to get regulatory capture and not because things are actually dangerous, Dario did more scaremongering and published his honestly confusing white paper that offered no real solutions So finally they succeeded, they managed to freak out the government, their cynical plan backfired, and now it’s a giant pain in the ass
