Mighty fine AI you have there, be a shame if something were to happen to it...

They should fly staff to EU instead

No need, the EU will just order more AI light bulbs, when everything is sorted: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dUPJuSZF1Is

It's not "AI light bulbs", the point is to use smart meters for load shedding and load rearranging. Why wouldn't you want for people and companies to be able to use cheaper electricity in off-peak hours?

As I understand it, ITAR regulations for export controls have just been applied to any form of Mythos.

These are overseen by U.S. Departments of State and Commerce, and forbid foreign nationals from access to any form of Mythos, either within or outside the U.S.

Only U.S. Citizens and immigrants that are holders of a "green card" may now access Mythos.

It appears that Anthropic does not have internal controls to implement these restrictions in any form, so the only option was to shut Mythos down.

Penalties for ITAR violation can reach ten years in prison and a million dollars per violation. (I can post a link to those details if there is any interest.)

As long as Anthropic is a U.S. company, there is no escaping this.

After seeing headlines about the ufc fight on the White House lawn and seeing headlines about how Japanese World Cup fans clean up trash after the match I had an image of programmers doing lawn care at the White House...

i 100% thought this article was going to be about cleaning up the idiocracy festival from the past weekend. didn't even question the fact that people from anthropic would be there to help, seemed like a fitting asskiss.

That was seriously what I thought the headline is about. Anthropic flying in their employees to clean up the trash after Trumps birthday party for free to demonstrate their obedience with a good show of licking the Dear Leader's boots.

Extremely silly of course, but entirely in line with all the other news currently coming out of the US ;)

Wouldn't it be funny if US Gov takes a 10% stake in Anthropic.

Nothing a few million dollars here and there can't fix ...

> Senior technical Anthropic staff

doesn't seem to be a political meeting, but rather a technical one. Maybe they'll review the jailbreaks and demonstrate that can be replicated in any model out there?
