Anthropic said “no” to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, that he couldn’t use Claude to kill or surveille anyone. Anyone who thinks that has nothing to do with the government’s order to shut down Mythos & Fable isn’t thinking very hard. Political revenge is definitely at play here. It’s their jam!
But much of the coverage and the public conversation about Fable and Mythos has been almost entirely focused on the wrong thing.
Everyone is arguing about whether the new Anthropic large language model (LLM) is just powerful, whether that makes it too dangerous, whether the jailbreak was real, whether the guardrails hold, whether there really are any guardrails. That’s understandable. The model is the visible, identifiable thing. In fact, it’s the thing we’ve all been focused on all along. We all recognize Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. But analysts with technical depth are pointing at something more fundamental than the LLM itself, and this has direct consequences for every MSP deploying AI right now. And every customer you’re deploying it to.
