As powerful as the model is days ago. As powerful as the model is days ago. As powerful as the model is and as much as I recommend you do try it and as much as I recommend you do try it and as much as I recommend you do try it for things, there are certain people who for things, there are certain people who for things, there are certain people who just outright can't. And the way just outright can't. And the way just outright can't. And the way Anthropic implemented this is Anthropic implemented this is Anthropic implemented this is unacceptable to put it lightly.

The restrictions on this model are genuinely restrictions on this model are genuinely restrictions on this model are genuinely absurd, but also the horrible precedent absurd, but also the horrible precedent absurd, but also the horrible precedent they have set with these new types of they have set with these new types of they have set with these new types of restrictions.
Summary
The discussion centers on Anthropic's new Mythos model, Fable, and its concerning implementation due to extreme restrictions. Despite high benchmarks, Fable refuses many tasks, like the Program Bench, setting a bad precedent for AI accessibility and utility. The takeaway is that these new AI restrictions are absurd and limit practical use.
