> The jailbreak, if real, is still trivially executed and still allows using the full power of Fable 5/Mythos model.

Can you provide any evidence at all for that claim? It seems rather amazing that you have to caveat "if" it's real, but you can still confidently claim that it's both "trivial" and completely bypasses every safeguard to grant you the "full power" of Mythos.

Alternately, they may have been serve a gag order, which makes a lawsuit rather tricky.

Or perhaps they are, for once, trying not to aggravate the government further? It's not like there's a 24 hour expiration date on the legal route, nor does it tend to move very quickly.

The legal route is also rather more complicated since this is a national security issue, which means federal courts, which means judges that are a lot more friendly to Trump and still haven't resolved the previous / ongoing case of whether Anthropic is a "supply-chain risk to national security". So... presumably any legal action against this order is going to take even longer than the previous one?

It's wild to me how un-creative some people are on topics like this - do you really think you have magical psychic insight into politics that even the best reporters and journalists lack? Do you keep track of all the mistakes you've made? I bet this one makes the list within a week

> Anthropic made the claims, not me

> According to Anthropic, a jailbroken Fable 5 or Mythos is the apocalypse.

I'm pretty sure you're lying and they never said anything like that. They may have suggested it would be a bad outcome, but "apocalypse" is your own editorializing.

> literally end the whole-wide world overnight with a series of catastrophic, hypercane level cyberattacks.

I don't even know what level of spin this is on, but you're clearly not making the slightest bit of a commitment to the truth. And of course, if I ask for links, you'll send me something that makes no such claims, because it's all your own made up hyperbole. There is no way you can provide a link to a real Anthropic account where I can Ctrl+F that exact phrase and find it really is their own words.

Given that there's absolutely no way your claim is true, why even bother? What do you get out of this deception?

Submission + - US Orders Anthropic to Suspend Fable 5 Access (anthropic.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Anthropic has announced that the US government issued an emergency export control directive forcing them to abruptly suspend all access to their newly released Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. Citing national security authorities, the government's order officially targets foreign national access, but Anthropic notes it had to disable the models for all customers globally to ensure full compliance.

The government's concern stems from a verbal report of a potential "jailbreak" method involving code analysis. Anthropic strongly pushes back against the decision, stating that the narrow capability is already common across rival platforms like OpenAI's GPT-5.5. They warned that applying this aggressive standard could effectively halt all frontier model deployments across the AI industry.

Submission + - Anthropic Claims US Government Forced Shutdown of New AI Models (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Anthropic says the U.S. government ordered it to suspend access to its newest AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing national security concerns related to an alleged jailbreak technique. The company says it received the directive Friday evening and was forced to disable access for all users while it works to comply. Anthropic argues the reported jailbreak is narrow rather than universal and claims similar capabilities already exist in competing models, including OpenAI’s GPT-5.5.

The AI company is openly challenging the government’s reasoning, warning that if the same standard were applied across the industry it could effectively halt deployment of future frontier AI models. Anthropic says it supports government oversight of advanced AI systems but argues that any intervention should be transparent, technically justified, and subject to a clear process. The move could mark the first major instance of the U.S. government effectively recalling a frontier AI model after deployment. Readers can find the full story at NERDS.xyz.

Are Catholics actually still doing that? My understanding is that the pope condemned it over a decade ago, major changes have been made, and while it was an institutional issue, it didn't go straight to the top.

Where do you draw the line? What companies are you boycotting due to their use of slave labor, etc.?

Obviously, when you've been personally affected, that's a pretty easy line. I've got my own list of personal boycotts for similar reasons - but I don't expect you to care, and I doubt your list includes many of those names.

I'm not a fan of the Catholic Church, I just dislike the idea that one cannot possibly support any organization which has, at some point, in some capacity, done something wrong. Pretty much every flag and religion has been used to justify atrocities. Mega-corps aren't doing much better. Buy local, abandon globalism, I guess? But then why are you on the internet?

Julian LeFay, 'Father of The Elder Scrolls,' Has Died Aged 59 (ign.com) 10

Julian LeFay, widely regarded as the "Father of The Elder Scrolls," has died at age 59 following a battle with cancer. IGN reports: It was announced last week that LeFay, now co-founder and technical producer at OnceLost Games, had stepped back from game development after a lengthy battle with cancer, in order to spend time with his family and loved ones. A statement from OnceLost Games, published today, has now confirmed LeFay's passing -- "with profound sadness and heavy hearts."

Born in Denmark in 1965, LeFay began his career working on early Amiga and NES games, before becoming one of Bethesda's earliest employees in 1987. After working on a string of Elder Scrolls titles, his career next took him to Sega, and then ultimately to found OnceLost Games in 2019 to develop a new open-world RPG, Wayward Realms, that was successfully pitched on Kickstarter as a Daggerfall spiritual successor.
"Julian LeFay was not just a colleague -- he was a visionary who fundamentally shaped the gaming industry as we know it today," OnceLost Games' statement reads. "Known as the 'Father of The Elder Scrolls', Julian directed the creation of legendary titles including Elder Scrolls 1 and 2: Arena, Daggerfall, and Battlespire. His pioneering work established the foundation for open-world RPGs and influenced countless developers and games that followed."

Bethesda also issued a statement, writing: "Without Julian, we would not be here today. If you had the opportunity to work with Julian, you were blessed to know a one-of-a-kind force of nature, who pushed everyone to create something special. His work and spirit will live on both in our memories and in our games."

Well, yes, we can say all sorts of things. I can say "phantomfive is not thinking, either".

I think you are perhaps putting too much stock in your ability to say things, and not enough stock in whether those things reflect reality - it's easy to say LLMs aren't thinking, but there's a remarkably narrow range of tasks they fail on these days, and you're moving the goalposts enough to exclude a number of humans at this point.
