Anthropic’s AI Pause and the Reflecting Pool

The U.S. government paused Anthropic’s most advanced AI models after the NSA uncovered ways to bypass their safety guardrails—leaving Fable 5 offline. But talks between the administration and Anthropic, led by Tom Brown and Sarah Heck, are gaining traction, with insiders saying former lead Amodei was too rigid to collaborate. Experts warn these controls may only be temporary, as savvy users and future AI could eventually circumvent them. Meanwhile, the timeline for Fable 5’s return remains unclear, though the Department of Commerce is being pressed for details. Over at the reflecting pool, security has tightened dramatically—fencing is up, and the National Guard is now authorized to detain anyone touching the water, with potential vandalism charges looming.
