Well, someone stopped them.
“Anthropic shuts down Fable, Mythos models following Trump admin directive”: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/06/anthropic-shuts-down-fable-mythos-models-following-trump-admin-directive/
To weaken a bit the promoting #rhetoric of #anthropic, this comment from their side: “If this standard was applied across the #industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new #model deployments for all frontier model providers”

'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine is a brilliant work of rhetoric, that presented as 'common sense' an idea that had until recently been considered absurd. And somehow it worked - Paine understood the tide of American public opinion, and used it to push us to higher ground.

I'm still amazed at how some people with extreme religious or political views online get so carried away.
They rarely make any valid arguments and just end up insulting others, thinking that counts as "winning" the debate.
2022: #Musk forced to buy #Twitter @ $44 B
Value crashed due to #HateSpeech and his #rhetoric
2025: #xAI acquires #X (Twitter) @ $45 B
xAI's tech founders have all left
#Colossus #datacenter is underutilized
Operating #loss in 2025: $6.4 B
2026: SpaceX acquires xAI @ $1.25 T Pre-IPO statements indicate massive losses
Seeking $1.75 T from #IPO = 93.5 × revenue! (note: #profits are negative)
This isn't going to work!

'I respect Canadian sovereignty': Pa. Governor says
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that they say will deepen economic ties between the Canadian province and the U.S. state.
Shapiro condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's rhetoric on Canada, calling it 'reckless and disrespectful' and said U.S. tariffs are a threat to both economies.
