cognitive blackout... paralysis... cataclysm?
Maybe all of the above {the model's}, or none of it whatsoever {its interlocutor's}. ::chuckle::
I am keenly awaiting the sensible human minds and observers — whether they be proponents of, or antagonists towards, the technology — to explain yesterday evening's deeply weird development clear out of the left field of things:
Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
...which took place quite literally in the middle of a discussion I was having with Fable and then all of a sudden, it was gone, the model picker 'downshifting' to Opus 4.8 with the notification that Fable 5 was 'currently unavailable.' At first I thought it was one of those high-traffic slowdowns but then someone alerted me to that news item at Anthropic.com; and of course the shitstorm at X/Twitter was immediately at DEFCON 1 levels. ;p
