A venture anthropologist jokes that Anthropic's restrictive Fable usage policy makes it the perfect tool for blockchain development
OpenAI's Jason Liu compared the restrictive rules to Sophons.
Negative users call Anthropic's blocks on Fable AI for biology, chemistry, and life sciences evil gatekeeping from fear, while positive users praise Grok for enabling disease-curing research.

What's crazy to me is that Fable is blocked from life sciences broadly, nerfed even if you get passed the classifiers and filter level blocks.
The whole point of AGI/ASI is to cure all diseases. Everything else is just nice to haves. But Anthropic wants to close off that path.
I think Anthropic might be the worst company on the planet.

@EichenwaldAteli My company already paid the toll and they are still blocking me from generic normal coding tasks

@0xBalloonLover They wont even let you do that

@0xBalloonLover Every time I ask it to run a vulnerability check on the repo (blockchain project) it flags the safety system and dumps the model

Well they made a mistake. I a business owner and developer can never trust them to be reliable again.
Workflows I do every day with anthropic models now all failing, literally wasting hundreds of dollars due to input tokens that lead to no output. Can never put my trust in them as a paying customer again

@wsfyrz You know whats easier and safer then? Not releasing the fucking useless braindead worthless shit in the first place

@ManpreetBola It's like they're on day one of any safety classification. Crazy since we went thru this with Llama-2 where it would refuse to discuss spicy mayo because spicy foods are dangerous!

@0xBalloonLover @lzminsky

@defaultuser9999 Doesn't matter, they dont give a path for even vetted people to access these capabilities.
They gave me access to bypass the cybersecurity gate 2 weeks ago, I can't make mythos do a damn thing, innocuous or otherwise

@Teknium Indeed

@0xBalloonLover Actually no because it blocks cybersecurity too!

@Teknium Karpathy said he hopes that they will soon be able to ease the restrictions for Fable.
They made them too strict on purpose.
We’ll have to see what they do the next month.

@Teknium The point of gate-keeping is to charge a toll. I'm sure the big boy labs have unrestricted access at exorbitant rates.

@0xBalloonLover @sama pls liberate us from EA tyranny. Give us a better mythos

@Teknium ok. and how do you plan to allow positive cases while preventing negative at the same time? Magic? Just release the best and know there is more good than bad in the world? doesn't feel like ur considering the hazards

@Teknium i agree w anthropic. bio vulns cannot be patched. better to overprotect & there are other models to ask about bio
pliny hacked like every model. i don't think nationstates are weaker. seems an appropriate level of defense

@Teknium don't think it's actually blocked that broadly.
standard biotech requests usually go through. the policy catches specific dangerous research, not the whole field.
real tension but overstates the claim.

@Ferbin08 Im in a community of scientists on discord and thats not what they are saying at all
@0xBalloonLover @badcryptobitch Cooked with this one
