> not sure how I feel about it

Same. I feel amused, disgusted and disdain at the same time.

Sprinkle in some irritation that even for a big product launch not a single human in the chain could be bothered to sit down and devote their attention to writing a page on why this product matters and why we should care..

This feels like it was written by Claude. I noticed several "it's not x, not y, it's z" claude-isms in the blog post.

And I am 90% sure that Claude design was used to build the website.

The damage is done. You cannot build a business critical function on top of American SOTA frontier model. Especially not with the current crew in charge.

Now whether AI tech is in the same league as say Nuclear tech and therefore by any reasonable standard should be regulated is a different question.

We hit the slippery slope on a random day in June 2026 and there is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Any exec or manager that puts load bearing weight on top of Anthropic/OpenAI/Google/AmericanCorp frontier model deserves the stress.

This kills the entire enterprise market for AI models better than Opus 4.8

1) No one is going to build any workflows/capabilities that could have the underlying intelligence rug pulled instantly by a bureaucracy or malevolent politician.

2) Even if a company was silly enough to take on the risk, is Anthropic going to ask all their enterprise customers to provide passports for all their employees and then setup individual Claude accounts for each and every employee of each and every enterprise customer in order to gatekeep access to Mythos? Because a plain ole api key no longer cuts it

It kills their entire Enterprise market which is a far bigger deal than just consumer KYC headaches

It's a bond sale. They get preferential treatment in case of insolvency.

Easiest day for engineers on-call everywhere except AWS staff. There’s nothing you can do except wait for AWS to come back online.

Pour one out for the customer service teams of affected businesses instead

Gandhi was controlled opposition IMO. His approach delayed the inevitable by decades.

A few tens of thousands of British troops - Over 200 years of the British Raj on average there were 60,000 to 70,000 British troops stationed in India - would have been absolutely slaughtered by the hundreds of millions of Indians (1857 population estimated at 250-300 million).

By the time Gandhi came into the picture, the British empire was overextended - any half decent uprising would have been successful..... unless you convinced the natives to give up on any physical form of dissent and sit down, protest and get beaten up as a virtuous slave.

Truly one of the greatest psyops ever.

In defence of the "less bright people" or deplorables as others have called them - they are deeply suspicious of Science(tm) used as a cudgel.

They intuit that some parasitic entity or entities has latched on to Science and is co-opting it for it's own gain to achieve it's own purposes which run counter to the interests of the people.

The heavy handed Covid response and censorship is a prime example of that.

The whole system has been corrupted and therefore it is not possible to have a de-facto assumption of good faith of the actors.

I did not run the code myself. The code block and console log I have pasted is verbatim copy from Claude3.5
