Yeah there are plenty of rich racists. But I think the racism party would take a haircut if people didn't feel screwed over.

Why would the government that passed a law preventing states from regulating AI give a damn about Fable’s safety guardrails?

I don’t think the concerns Anthropic has posted are fabricated. And I’ve received unreasonable skepticism on this site when saying it might be the real deal. But the Trump administration generally doesn’t want to limit AI growth. With Anthropic it is a personal matter.

Less motivation for people to be racist if they have their needs met.

TFA acknowledges this. Did you only read the title?

If we want to prevent this from happening people need to be able to trust their government and feel their interests are shared by their representatives.

This is 99% petty drama between the US government and Anthropic and 1% actual safety concerns.

The barrier to entry drops and so more garbage enters the market. This has happened many many times but there can be a massive and beautiful paradigm shift at the same time. Think about YouTube. Most stuff on there is garbage, but compare the good stuff of today to pre-YouTube content. To be quite honest, I think most of the best media is going straight onto YouTube.

Maybe I just love downvotes, but the Firefox AI sidebar is incredibly useful and I make use of it nearly every day.

While I agree most LLM use is counterproductive, they're pretty useful in scenarios where you can quickly verify their outputs.

You think the AI boys are going to let the administration keep this up for long?

Eh, not any different than the performative encryption restrictions from decades past.

A lot of users are subsidized (if you're in doubt, consider the wealth of free users).

It's a shotgun approach to answering questions. If it's terse it might only mention 1 of 10 facts it could provide, and that might not be the one you're looking for. So they just say a fuck ton of words and are more likely to meet the needs of everyone asking your question. If they miss it you'll prompt it again and they have to perform a second pass of inference, which costs them more money.

I'm being careful with it, but I haven't had Fable reject requests to "harden" my code or "find issues" in auth-related modules, which you could use on someone else's code to find vulnerabilities.

If you’re on SF I can sell you 16GB Pi 5s for $280. I’ve got a few on hand (new in box).

I’ve so far been successful at getting Fable to find security issues, but I’m careful to not prompt it too directly. I point it at my server code and tell it to find general issues, which has so far resulted in discovering a few minor bugs that Opus has never raised under similar conditions.
