schneier.comAnthropic’s Fable and the State of AIOn June 9th, Anthropic released its Fable generative AI model. Three days later, the US government classified it as a dangerous munition, and used its export-control authority to prohibit any foreign nationals from accessing it. Unable to differentiate between Americans and foreigners, the company shut off access for everyone. The government's actions won't help. The problem isn't any one particular model; it's the general trend of increasing AI capabilities.

If you google ‘Knicks Rockets NBA finals’, the AI Overview will tell you that these teams faced each other in both 1994 and 1995. Big time hallucination there, as the Rockets faced the Magic in 1995. Is it really that hard for AI to deliver facts accurately?

schneier.comOpenAI’s GPT-5.5 is as Good as Mythos at Finding Security VulnerabilitiesThe UK's AI Security Institute evaluated GPT-5.5's ability to find security vulnerabilities, and found that it is comparable to Claude Mythos. Note that the OpenAI model is generally available. Here is the Institute's evaluation of Mythos. And here is an analysis of a smaller, cheaper model. It requires more scaffolding from the prompter, but it is also just as good.

Oh, and while the king was looking down, The jester stole his thorny crown. The courtroom was adjourned; No verdict was returned. And while lenin read a book of marx, The quartet practiced in the park, And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died.
