The Fable jailbreak was trivially easy, an independent security researcher found. But she and other experts say Fable’s value to cyber defenders outweighs its risks.
Meanwhile, her own involvement may have antagonized the Trump administration. A group of cybersecurity executives and experts is asking the Trump administration to lift its directive preventing the use of Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence models by foreign nationals, saying the move could help U.S. adversaries more than it hurts them.
Bloomberg reported the story as "US Government Orders Anthropic to Disable Foreign Access to Mythos." The Seattle Times reported the story as "Cybersecurity executives urge the Trump administration to ease restrictions on Anthropic AI models."
