Fable founder Bojan Tunguz claims the US Commerce Department's sudden ban was triggered by a major undisclosed event

@tunguz Post theory

@tunguz Taps the sign

@jenningsgreg Oh it’s much worse than that.

@shobogenzo9 No

@saintkamus That’s what she said.

@tunguz Friday: Grok ceo becomes trillionaire. Anthropic frontier model shut down. Markets close. Trump family likes to bet/trade on insider information. -- Yeah, there's definitely some dots there that can be joined.

@tunguz

@bayeslord Yes

@iScienceLuvr Yes

@tunguz Hmm 🤔

@tunguz

@tunguz This really isnt that big of a mistery. ITAR/CD declared it a liability after the 0-day exploits clouded the dual use functionality. Since critical infra could have been compromised it got shut down for natsec reasons.

@tunguz it was just business, backhanded deals and greasy palms i think..

@tunguz Isn't the rumor just that someone on Amazon side found a way to bypass the safety controls?

@tunguz Somebody in the Whitehouse watched Disclosure Day and got spooked.

@tunguz The KYC form ain’t working. One would think Anthropical would have Claude coded one by now or just copy one from fintech

@tunguz @iScienceLuvr

@tunguz This is big boy checkers

@tunguz I think we played Anthropic “national security” card a little bit too much. To the point we’re seeing too much in too little.

@tunguz it found the aliens, didn't it?
