…maybe this time, we can spring for the extended warranty.

I’ll be interesting to see how this works for companies using this tool. Does anthropic expect that every employee will freely upload their passport, just to continue to work???

Umm… nothing was really “explained”, here.

It’s just a larger rehash of what’s already been mentioned: U.S. Govt blocked access to Fable/Mythos to U.S. Citizens only. Anthropic didn’t have the ability to do this, so they locked it out.

Yikes, this is spooky stuff.

In the blog post, the author mentioned that their AI agent found the malicious payload.

That reminded me of people writing malicious AI prompts. I find it shocking , that you really cannot trust 3rd party code and cannot safely use AI as a tool to quickly audit said code.

I wonder if interviewing will come full circle and we’ll go back to resumes, phone interview, then in-person interviews. Rather, than the whole “take home project” crap (well… at least I have another reason to opt of them).

Naw, this’ll just be fed to potential investors as chum to sharks.

AFAIK, Anthropic’s IPO is mid-october. So, until then it’ll frequently hit the news how “Anthropic is ‘trying’ to release Fable 5, but it’s just sooooo good that the government won’t allow it” and all the drama and concessions in between.

Then around the beginning of October, (weeks before the IPO) they’ll have a " breakthrough " and will receive the blessing of the government to release it. This could be in the form of mandatory citizenship checks, better “safeguards”, etc.

Regardless, all this’ll happen shortly before the IPO. It’ll be a Christmas Miracle /s! People won’t have enough time to know if Fable 5 meets the hype, but it won’t stop investors from buying stock in a nonprofitable company.

They drip shit like this, to stop everyone from getting pissed at once.

Big Tech has always been pushing the Boiling Frog Syndrome. …and, unfortunately, governments are using this as their playbook too.

Sadly, I doubt it would have any meaningful impact.

Instead, it’ll be marketed as "Fable 5: it’s so good, the U.S. government won’t share it (…but yours now, for the low monthly payment of 20 dollars + plus your ID and your families)

Oh, it’s simple (but a total invasion of privacy): they use the same Age Check validation needed by Sony/PlayStation/whatever, but now you need to upload your passport or birth certificate, and take a picture of yourself. The API access token will be created under the name of that account owner.

…and don’t think for a moment that even if you are “eligible” to use this, Anthropic won’t be building a profile on you based on whatever sensitive information you provide (ya, know - to make a better UX. Trust me, bro /s).

I’d asked a similar question. Basically, the response I got was: if the something goes sideways, the community can hard fork all their clients and use vaultwarden as a server (their current licenses would allow that).

Another suggestion was that you can always use the web ui bundled with vaultwarden directly (heh, I’ve been using vaultwarden for years and I don’t think I ever used the web ui - just the applications, CLI, browser extension).

Dean Ball, a former White House official who contributed to the AI Action Plan the administration issued in the summer of 2025, said in a post on X that the order suggests all “non-Americans” would be restricted from using ⁠Anthropic’s latest ​models, including those based in the U.S.

“This means you should expect to have to prove your citizenship to use Anthropic ​models,” Ball said.

There is the real reason, folks.

Yet another effort to force mandatory ID checking to access a website.

…just wait until all your favorite search engines integrate it.

Unfortunately, we’re fighting an uphill battle here.

We’d need government regulation “protecting privacy”, instead they seem all too eager to concede that in a futile effort to " protect the children ".

…next in the News: Trump Administration consolidates all U.S. embassy’s to a backroom in Greenland. “Think of all the money we’ll save!” /s

I wasn’t certain what the bitwarden clients were licensed under.

…but if they’re all GPL, then yeah - it’ll just get forked. Just like terraform vs opentufu. Just like MySQL vs MariaDB - it’s a tale as old as time (unfortunately).

Narrator: …but it did.

I’m amazed that vaultwarden has maintained such fantastic compatibility with bitwarden. …but all it takes is one api with an obfuscated “signed request” to bring it all down.

Pro-tip: Depending on the country you moved to and if your child has U.S. citizenship, you can file for a Child Tax Credit and get up to $2200 per child per year.

Has anyone found an effective way to pair-up and “learn” the syntax faster/better compared to not using AI?

I’ve written a lot of code in the past, but recently started doing more with golang… and have been using AI for an assist, but at the end of the day (and enough reiterations) - it creates readable and maintainable code. But (unfortunately), I don’t think I could rewrite it.

I was contemplating seeing how I could change my workflow, so I’d write the code, but AI would offer fast guidance.

Thanks for sharing links to this project.

I’ve always been kind of curious, why their wasn’t an OSS possibility to “download” chunks of aggregated search content.

I know that technically it would be a challenge, but forcing crawler after crawler to fetch the exact same content (again and again), is also rather inefficient.

Now, we need a browser extension that can do this in real-time.

I completely agree.

…and as soon as OpenNIC takes their SSL/TLS Cert generator out of experimental and into something stable - we can start.

Privacy concerned people can start to rebuild the internet based on the original principles of “sharing information and ideas”, rather than " maximizing engagement ".

edit: a word

… 'cause I always keep forgetting my password.

I am curious to see if/how this’ll open up some android devices.
