alt Hacker NewsU.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
Comments
The entire arc reads as a marketing stunt rather than a legitimate national security threat. Maybe Anthropic asked the US for this action to be taken.
edit: > Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (lol)
Fable was out for 3 days, not really long enough for us to properly evaluate it, but the "Sorry we had to remove Fable. Read more. (because it's too powerful btw)" is loudly shown every chance they get for weeks. It creates a halo.
Reminiscent of the 1999 Apple G4 commercial where they displayed it next to military tanks. "For the first time in history, a personal computer has been classified as a weapon by the U.S. government."
Wowee, just happens to be on the same day of OpenAI's Sol announcement. How convenient for Dario and Anthropic!
Weren't they already doing that?
When will the world retaliate? They have been stealing data globally
This is just more marketing hype imo.. "omg its sooo good it has to be restricted"
Dario really fucked us all with his fear mongering regulatory capture approach cause there is zero chance this reverts back to government deciding it doesn't want the power.
This reminds me of the following quote
"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed." ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
To the surprise of absolutely nobody following the news
This is what “stacking the deck” looks like
Why would they allow Mythos but not Fable? Fable is the one with more guardrails.
I wonder if Anthropic and ChatGPT will continue to scream at the top of their lungs how dangerous their services are and how they will break the security of everything everywhere?
Or may they'll decide to be a little more quiet and less end-of-the-world-is-nigh-if-you-use-our-services?
I personally believe that Dario Amodei is probably one of the 'less shitty' AI leaders. But literally no one is going to convince me that either 1. He overplayed his hand and fucked up 2. This is at least 'majority' PR.
One more aspect where the US can no longer be counted on.
Let's hope this creates a bit more fire under the asses of other countries
* to some US companies.
Asterisk the size of a Mac truck.
Also this administration having say over who gets access to what AI is just so much more grift corruption and picking your favorites / destroying others, for these incdecent undemocratic in American grifters who've seized our state.
Congrats sama. Such a great sophisticated 5d chess move.
america is worrying about a civil war and missing the corporate takeover
When AI bubble pops, no bailouts. I'm not paying for this BS
presumably those targeting Gaza, Lebanon and Iran? more effective genocide. A wonderful two party system we have here.
should see 5.6 any day now
And this is how Chinese AI companies will win over the U.S.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Meanwhile, China is pushing the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO), which, in the face of internal divisions and impotent leadership among Western nations, could prove to be the first global regime that China gets to build and lead.
Land of the free, land of the brave. Free market. Freedom of speech. Market economy.
These words don’t mean what they use to anymore. Newspeak is in full swing. Words still sound the same and are written in the same way but now mean something completely different. If Mao and Stalin were alive, they would be nodding approvingly.
I identify as a trusted partner, can I have one Mythos please.
"trusted" meaning "paid millions to trump admin slush fund account"
despicable

TL;DR - OpenAI and Anthropic are both allowed to ship their most powerful models to a small number of companies pre-approved by Trump.

Nooice /s
Who needs freedom of speech anyway? I'm just glad the trump admin is looking out for by best interests. /s
Why post a content free link to Twitter for this?
80% of the irrationally angry comments here have zero clue how export controls work and is giving me serious Dunning Kruger vibes.
Please go read US history before sounding off on this topic. These laws have existed for decades.
Open source should create a new license where it specifically doesn't allow release to these "trusted partners".
