Why Fable 5 Really Got Shut Down

from Pretrained Hosted by Pierce Freeman & Richard Diehl Martinez

Apple announced Siri AI at Tim Cook's final WWDC keynote as CEO - then told Europe it won't ship there, because the EU's Digital Markets Act would force Apple to hand any third-party AI nearly unlimited, autonomous access to your phone. We break down whether that's Apple crying wolf again or a genuinely new class of risk, why Anthropic shipped Fable 5 with anti-bootstrapping safeguards designed to stop foreign labs from cloning frontier models or auto-optimizing their GPU kernels (with a silent capability downgrade if it thinks you're trying), and how the same drone tech being battle-tested in Ukraine is one tenacious, self-recharging LLM away from a landmine in the sky.
