Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
Nothing gives me more permanent underclass vibes than the government shutting down Anthropic's latest frontier model. I don't think you guys realize how big of a moment this is for technology and humanity entirely. On one hand, you could think this is a marketing campaign come out with some AI model called Fable, which literally means like, a quick dream that goes away really quick. Or we have a potentially extremely dangerous machine that could generate bioweapons and hack into all of the global infrastructure if given to the wrong hands. This could also be an entirely political move by the government saying, no, no, no, you guys can't give mythos out. This is kind of a new version of that mythos that you guys were gonna release, and we don't want basic users in their bedroom to have access to this and be able to manipulate markets or hack into systems. So I hope you understand this. This is literally the first time that the government has ever stepped into one of these AI companies and stopped the release of a public model. So this screams a lot of different dialectics that we can go back and forth on. Some being, maybe we should just require all users of these AI models through Anthropic to provide their IDs so that we know no foreign adversaries are using them. This could also argue, well, what happens when OpenAI releases a better model? Are we just not going to get access to AGI or the greatest new models when companies release them? We have to go through the government first? Or do we never get them and the big corporations which are already using these same systems to replace their team gets access to them, but the basic consumers actually don't get them at all. So this is a huge win for open source guys. Not your hardware, not your tokens. This is the new key, not your crypto. Although it might take 12 to 24 months for a Fable level local model to run on consumer hardware. This just raises such a big question that I don't even know how to answer this rather than providing all sides of this story. The anti-AI people would say, yeah, let's stop this progress. But the accelerationist would say that why would we stop processes that help us solve cancer? And why would we try and regulate these new technological advancements? What do you guys think?
