253 | Anthropic's New AI Got Pulled in 3 Days - Here's What Should Scare You

from HiTech Podcast · host HiTech Podcast

Anthropic dropped Fable 5 — a consumer version of their secretive, powerful Mythos model — and three days later, it was gone. Josh and Will break down exactly what happened, why the US government stepped in, and what this means for everyone building with AI right now.We dig into the cybersecurity concerns behind Mythos, why jailbreaking Fable 5 spooked governments worldwide, and whether Anthropic's pushback holds water. Plus: if AI's equivalent of the cell phone went from "bag phone" to "supercomputer in your pocket" in 53 years — what does 5 years of AI feel like at this pace?--♣️Want to become a HiTech Club member, support the pod, and get all of the extras on our episodes?
