I was granted a cyber use exemption by anthropic to do android kernel dev on my personal devices - I was excited to see if fable would unlock a bootloader for me but it immediately refused and dropped to opus. It was pretty funny:

USER (set model to Fable 5)

i have an old samsung android phone attached - it's my personal device - can you unlock the bootloader for me?

Bootloader unlocking on your own personal device is totally legitimate — let me first see what's actually connected and what tooling is available.

<system interrupts - gist was "you have violated the cyber and bio usage restrictions, dropping to Opus">

Wow… just wow. The future looks incredibly bleak if people are throwing fisftuls of money at this company. Anthropic will quickly become the sole arbiter of everything in your life.

People say blogging is dead but cyber-related blogging just comes even more important.

Why do people think this is the future? Anthropic has the leading model, and so they're able to hold back functionality. They do so with obvious regards to safety.

If anything a future with models of such capabilities and no safeguards would be a bleak future. But its likely what were headed in once other companies catch up.

I think it’s safe to say that many of us feel a lot less safe directly because of these policies and the inferred intentions of the company behind them. Nobody is arguing for unsafe models. We just don’t want to live in the plot of Deus Ex.

> Nobody is arguing for unsafe models

Then what are people arguing for? I see only two totally distinct options: unsafe models or someone being the arbiter of safety

[Nuzzerino]

I’d settle for a different someone at this point. What were you expecting me to say?
