Tech Bros Rat on Other Tech Bros and Set National Policy. Absolutely
June 25, 2026
Another dinobaby post. No AI unless it is an image. This dinobaby is not Grandma Moses, just Grandpa Arnold.
I have seen the name “David Sachs” in the context of affluent Silicon Valley luminaries. He has or is working in an important job in the US government. I scanned a “tweet” or is it a “musk” on X.com. The lingo in the message is not dinobaby speak, so I have to interpret it the best I can.
The main idea is that an outfit named Anthropic, the marketing juggernaut that can make paradoxes as familiar as the smell of eggs on the grill in the Palo Alto Creamery. Anthropic is into “safe” and it releases Mythos to make software unsafe and then releases a public version that is sort of safe. The folks who care about unsafe are the accelerationists and the bad actors. Most people don’t care, understand, or want to know. But BAITs (big AI tech firms) and BAIT surfers care and care a lot.
Thanks, MidJourney. Good enough.
This Anthropic stuff is disrupting the old stand by BAIT outfits.
What’s the fix? I think a hint of how the AI world works is revealed in the cited tweet or musk. I quote the post:
Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)
I think this means that Anthropic is not behaving like a responsible BAIT. Therefore, Anthropic shape or face the wrath of the other BAITers.
The tweet or musk continues:
A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.
One of my team told me that the “trusted partner” was Amazon, an outfit I once described as the Bezos bulldozer. (Hey, sorry about those mom and pop businesses. Vrrooom vrrooom.) I know there are not too many BAIT outfits operating in the US so I am probably incorrect. Plug in your own estimable outfit.
The consequence of the “alert” was, and I quote:
In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.
“Admin” means, I think, the US Federal government. I think Anthropic was in hot water over some confusion about the normal behavior of senior government professionals. Many of these people assume that “we pay, vendors obey.” Anthropic did not get the message about this standard operating procedure.
Several observations manifested themselves on my writing pad as I was thinking about this tweet or musk. As a dinobaby, I shall exercise my prerogative and insert them in this blog;
- US government policy can result when a single BAIT tattles on another BAIT. Both BAITs have business entanglements. (See, for instance, “Anthropic and Amazon Expand Collaboration for Up to 5 Gigawatts of New Compute.”) I wonder what the phrase “trusted partner” means to these outfits?
- Anthropic seems to be like the fur on a Rhodesian ridgeback. The BAIT fur is tidy, fluid, and goes with the grain. The fur on the Anthropic dog goes in a different direction. The nail that sticks up gets pounded down. Does fur work that way in BAIT Land?
- Some of the Mythos functionality can be replicated in other BAIT systems. One of my team suggested that Qwen has some utility in juicing the activities of bad actors. I think this means that a Kentucky Derby winner’s barn has burned as the valuable steed has headed off to another farm on the Bourbon Trail.
Net net: If the tweet or the musk are accurate, policy is indeed set by what some individuals call :
- Squealing
- Dry snitching
- Grassing
- Tattling
- Ratting
- Spilling tea (organic green, of course).
