sanitycheck So let me see if I have this straight. Anthropic made Mythos available to a small number of trusted high-end Western tech players. One of them leaked access to China, but we don't know which one. Amazon's CEO used a standard jailbreak technique that all LLMs are vulnerable to in order to "prove" to Sacks that Mythos is dangerous (while the other LLMs are supposedly not dangerous with the same weakness, with no evidence to back up such an absurd claim). Anthropic was ordered to fix it for Mythos, but the other LLMs were not similarly ordered. When Anthropic couldn't fix it fast enough, that means that they "refused" the order. So therefore this is all Anthropic's fault. What part of this farce am I missing? Reply

Thus becoming fair game for retribution by junior high government. Reply

Dr3ams AI rules and laws haven't been solidified yet, so in these battles there are no war crimes being commited. Regardless if it's fair or not, AI developers are going to have to conform or be cast out. A quote from Gemini (AI): Comprehensive, solidified AI laws are still highly fragmented. Because AI evolves faster than the legislative process, lawmakers globally are scrambling to balance safety with innovation. While there is no single global rulebook, significant frameworks and guidelines are in effect. Europe has the world’s most comprehensive AI legislation. The landmark EU AI Act divides AI into four risk levels, completely banning systems that pose unacceptable risks (like manipulative subliminal AI or social scoring) while placing strict transparency, testing, and documentation requirements on "high-risk" systems. The United States lacks a unified federal AI law, and policies have been shaped by a mix of state-level laws (such as in California and Colorado) and executive orders. States have focused on specific areas like deepfakes and automated employment decisions, though debate continues on how to unify these rules at the national level. Even where laws have passed, governments are struggling with the enforcement infrastructure. Regulatory bodies are actively working to draft specific rules (like how to accurately label AI-generated content or deepfakes) so that existing laws are actually enforceable. Reply

phead128 You can justify any "ban" these days by saying "China Bad" , it's almost like a joke. Dude, one random from China can have access to a model, so we have to ban it for everyone. Even at face value it's ridiculous logic. Reply
A Stoner My guess is that there are several reasons for them letting it get ganked off the market. Token costs were costing it too much. They see this as good publicity even if it hurts their clients, because their clients are not paying enough of the cost of running the program. It sets a precedent they will fully try to force the government to impose on smaller start ups to weed out competition in the future. Reply
