Pseudonymous AI developer Teortaxes highlights how Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 can generate complete, production-ready applications from simple prompts or sketches, a capability that some see as undercutting the independent value of traditional app-layer developers and startups.
One good outcome of Fable is Total Application Bro Death. What applications now?! Fable can build all your applications (for Anthropic), and you can't build them with Fable, because you're a dirty europeasant. Get real.
@antonosika You actively undermined EU tech sovereignty. Don’t think we’ll need your lessons.
US government export controls forced Anthropic to suspend Fable 5 for all users outside approved channels, leaving European developers and others without access while US subscribers retain it for now.
While Fable demonstrates strong one-shot coding performance, the broader effects on hiring patterns, startup viability, and whether human app developers retain specialized niches remain open questions without further data.
Many users mocked EU sovereign AI efforts involving Fable and Anthropic as incompetent wastes of tax money that lag behind Chinese models due to overregulation.

"Total Application Bro Death" fable fiasco taught the application bros that they need to control the model layer or at least have a backup

@teortaxesTex I still don't get why Europeans want to train models rather than build datacenters and gather chips. We just got GLM 5.2!!! How long would it take for Mistral to be able to train an equivalent to GLM 5.2?
@archived_videos Yuropeans will not sully their virginal chips with chicom bat pangolin soup LLMs. It's a matter of blood, faith and honor.
@teortaxesTex There's not even that many chips to sully!!!
@archived_videos that only makes them precious… they'll wait for gpt-oss-2
@archived_videos @teortaxesTex remember Le Chaton Fat released by Mistral?
@cmitsakis @teortaxesTex So basically my tax money is going to subsidize that whole thing and I won't even get a more efficient government/administration in exchange and people are going to call that a win
@zephyr_z9 My market analysis is as follows:

@cmitsakis @teortaxesTex It doesn't exist and this summer they're going to release models that are like, pretty good and 6 months behind chinese OSS if I had to guess. People will probably praise them, say something about sovereignty, then not use them except in administrations
@teortaxesTex TXD!!!
@teortaxesTex I genuinely think most europeans talking about AI and how we should train our base model and Mistral are not even aware gpt-oss is a thing
@teortaxesTex Models will keep improving. The only question that remains is if Anthropic will out accelerate the rest into RSI
@teortaxesTex everyone saying “we should build products that incorporate AI” has gotten burned by capabilities progress again and again
@teortaxesTex lmao, he hid the reply. I can't wait until Loveable is dead and gone.
@teortaxesTex @cmitsakis Considering how high taxes are in France I think yes they very much need to be more productive, but also I know that even if they were this won't lead to a reduction in tax, or even more safety/better public transportation
@zephyr_z9 Application bros are learning to avoid vendor lock-in from first principles
@archived_videos @teortaxesTex I know I was just trolling. EU is the first in regulating AI but they can't build it. I like the idea of sovereign AI, but they current governments are to incompetent to achieve it.
@archived_videos @cmitsakis Start getting used to small wins I guess but really the problem is, as usual, incentives. Do eurogovernments even need to be more productive, such that GLM 5.2 is preferable to mistral medium?
