> Technological serfdom is coming if they get their way.

I'm deeply concerned about this. We're seeing all these moves towards remote attestation, identity verification. Now we're being literally priced out of hardware...

Deeply concerning. How likely is this to become reality?

I'm working on my own programming language. I've also been exploring open source projects to contribute to. Maybe something that helps me pivot from hobbyist to professional. If such a thing is even possible in this day and age.

Fable 5 found quite a few issues Opus 4.8 missed on code review, even though the stupid cybersecurity nonsense downgraded it. I can't tell you more, I only get a single session per 5h window on Max 5x. Only ran two sessions so far.

Fable has been producing some really good work on my end as well. Definitely better than Opus 4.8. The only problems are the cost and constant cybersecurity refusals. A single session uses up 100% of my 5h window without finishing, and that's when it doesn't get derailed by nonsensical refusals.

Same experience here. The parts of my project that actually could have benefited from Fable's code review got this instead.

> It also burned through my usage quota like a late-90s Hummer.

Yeah. I have a Max 5x subscription and Fable burned through 16% of my weekly quota in a 40 minute code review session. It didn't even finish the review, it switched back to Opus 4.8 in the critical memory safety parts where I actually needed Fable.

I feel like I'm going to get priced out of these models soon. I should probably try to get the most out of Fable until June 22nd.

Why can't we get AI models that replace these CEOs? I bet they're pretty good at running a company.

The thing about governments is they are just as tyrannical as the corporations. "Any network we cannot surveil and dominate is banned" is absolutely within the realm of possibility.

I just asked Fable for a complete code review of my lone lisp project. Started out strong. Launched Fable agents, then spent like 10 minutes thinking... And then got interrupted by a switch to Opus 4.8.

> Fable 5's safety measures flagged this message for cybersecurity or biology topics.

> They may flag safe, normal content as well.

> These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capability in other areas sooner, and we're working to refine them.

Here are the results of the agentic code review session:

This 40 minute session cost me 16% of my weekly usage. A simple code review of the most critical areas of my project got flagged as a cybersecurity risk. It really made me not want to try it again.

Agreed. I went further and turned that into its own isolated virtual machine. The credentials problem is really annoying though. AI agents need the access in order to be useful.

Definitely feel the murkiness. I've been programming as a hobby for over ten years and only recently started wanting to do it professionally. I'm actually wondering if there's a path for me.

Yeah. Looks like the future they want is complete marginalization of free computers, of free people. The machines will have to be corporation and government owned in order to network and participate in society. If we own the machine, we're excluded. Ostracized. Even the language they use is disgusting. They say we're "tampering" with the system, as though it wasn't ours to begin with. It makes me really sad that this is what we're heading towards.

So Google chose to be evil, now they have to rip all the evil out and redo it from scratch. Can't say I have any sympathy. Should have done the right thing from the start.

This is a good thing. I wish every company would do this. I subscribed to Proton Mail after interacting with someone from their team here on HN.

I certainly do. The only point I'm making is those people are sending plenty of messages of their own. You say that AI proponents sound like cartoon villains. To me the AI detractors sound a lot like elite lords being forcibly deposed from their titles. People who thought they were superior, but were proven wrong.

The only crime here would be stopping the AI onslaught just short of replacing the really powerful people. Let it happen.
