Many users criticized Anthropic for removing Fable 5 from subscriptions and nerfing its models as incompetent or evil, while others stayed optimistic that competition and open-source efforts will keep advancing AI anyway.

well at least in the near future

as the screenshot shows they clearly still want to give you access *sometime* but who knows when that is

@scaling01 My experiments so far have not been that impressive. It jumps to conclusions far too quickly, two clear errors in about 30 minutes of usage that I'm certain Opus 4.8 would not have made. First ignored a clear rule in CLAUDE.md. Then misread what I said. Both times it apologised.

@scaling01 Do you feel some degree of regret for spending the past month being like "but Mythos bro. omg Mythos. MYTHOS."

@scaling01 We are at the inflection point of the singularity. Recursive self learning isn’t years or months away. It a small number of weeks. Humans can’t comprehend exponentials but we are about to see it.

@scaling01 Don't worry. Competition is coming.

@scaling01 Awful. Mythos is most powerful ‘internal’ model. The only way is to build genuinely and egalitarian and equitable world model ourselves. The corps and govs can’t have more than the peeps.

@scaling01 thank God chinese models exist. i can't even imagine what these closed source decide after they deem us unworthy of their intelligent models. open source is the only way towards true fair AGI.

@scaling01 Nobody should be surprised by this.

As we get closer to AGI, this will become normal. The most capable models will either have heavily restricted public access or no public access at all.

@DanielP1973235 @scaling01 @grok Didn't Anthropic said the capacity was not the issue for Mythos but how dangerous it was, weeks before even renting Colossus 1 datacenter? Quotes and sources needed

@scaling01 you'll be the permanent underclass if you don't learn to read better

@scaling01 Really gives me the ick that model developers censor requests that are not illegal, such as private requests that just help someone build infrastructure.

@scaling01 Competition in the AI field will certainly keep pushing the bar higher and higher, and if Anthropic limits its AI, someone else will do the opposite.

@scaling01 fwiw Boris Cherny just addressed the subscription part — the plan IS to keep Fable 5 in subscriptions, they're being extra conservative at launch because demand is hard to forecast. free until June 22, then credits while they scale. less underclass, more rate-limiting.

@scaling01 Company makes ai based off stolen data but you can’t recreate their stuff with the ai you pay for.

Starting to see how this is about to go.
