The most interesting thing in tech: Commerce bans foreign nationals—including Anthropic's own staff!—from using Fable. So the company shuts it down for all. Anthropic keeps warning AI is existentially dangerous but then keeps shipping. The government wants AI built here but incoherent regulations just derailed a leading product. It's...

The most interesting thing in tech: Everyone in Davos is talking about geopolitics and the growing antagonism between the US and Europe. But geopolitics are sometimes downstream of tech. And one thing that Europe could do is build its own open-source AI models. Eric Schmidt explains why that matters and how it could be done. #WEF26 #WEF2026

.Dan Shipper 📧: "The AI jobpocalypse is not a thing. The mass unemployment thing that AI lab CEOs are talking about—that's not going to happen. AI models make yesterday's human competence cheap. But what's interesting is that since everyone's using the same models, it all looks the same. So it becomes commoditized. It's not valuable anymore. And what humans do is we go in there, and we're like, yeah, we have all this frozen human competence from yesterday, how do I use this to make something new and interesting, today?"

The most interesting thing in tech: Cloudflare has built a new tool that allows publishers to identify, track, and block any AI bots that are scraping their sites without permission. Here Gitesh Gohel and I explain the spreadsheet we've built to decide who to block --- and then we start blocking. It feels like an important moment where the balance of power is shifting back to creators and away from companies who have scraped with impunity and without any fair exchange of value.

The man who invented the refrigerator made some money. But Coca-Cola made most of the money by using the refrigerator to build a global empire. Now AI is here. The real money may not be in building AI, but in using it smartly. Interesting take by Mr. Chamath 🔥

🚨 Keith Rabois breaks down the AI market through the lens of vertical integration: Tesla, Apple, OpenAI "Products really require vertical integration." TESLA: "Ultimately, you have a self-driving something that is custom built for knowing it's going to be self-driving." "And it interacts differently, the cost structure is different, the controls are different, the seating is different." "You build a product taking advantage of where in the stack you have the most competitive advantage. But then you leverage that and it reinforces." APPLE: "It's why Apple, despite missing the AI wave, is still a pretty good company from any empirical standpoint." "I mean like, their performance is absolutely miserable in the most important technology breakthrough in the last 70 years." "But the company is still alive, and still worth trillions of dollars because it's vertically integrated." OPENAI: "OpenAI, they do have a good product team." "And they need to stay ahead on the product level because they can't compete on the factory level." "The way to stay ahead on the product level is shipping a device." "It's gotta be good. It's gotta be right. It's gotta be the right form factor. It's gotta do things for humans that are unexpected." "But then if they do that, they're like Apple + AI."

Anthropic's newest AI model, called Mythos, is so powerful, the company says, that it could cause widespread disruption if it's released to the public. For now, Anthropic is giving more than 40 tech companies, including some rivals, access to Mythos to test it and identify vulnerabilities across systems. But that move is raising concerns. Watch Geoff Bennett's conversation with Gerrit De Vynck 🦭.

ANTHROPIC'S NEW AI MODEL "MYTHOS" IS SO POWERFUL THE COMPANY WON'T RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC YET Instead, they're giving it to 11 companies first through "Project Glasswing" to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities before bad actors can. The partners: Amazon, Apple, Broadcom, Nvidia, Google, and others. The model wasn't built for cybersecurity. It was built to be an automated AI researcher, an AI that helps build better AI. But those same capabilities make it a serious tool for both offensive and defensive cyber operations. OpenAI reportedly has a similar model codenamed "SPU" going through the same slow rollout process. Palisade Research: "Anthropic is a little ahead, but not overwhelmingly ahead. They don't necessarily have a permanent moat here."

Anthropic has created an AI model that “can get into almost any software in the world,” former AI company founder and CEO Matt Shumer says — but the company is not releasing it to the public: “I have never seen something like this — a company that is about to IPO and having such a moral compass.” Shumer shares what makes the AI model so powerful and potentially dangerous.

Naval Ravikant: "I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us." On E215, Naval broke down his main AI fear: consolidated control enabled by regulatory capture. "If you really think you're going to create God, do you want to put God on a leash with one entity controlling God?" "That to me is the real fear." "I'm not scared of AI. I'm scared of what a very small number of people who control AI do to the rest of us, 'for our own good.'" "I'm not an AI doomer. I don't think AI is going to end the world. That's a separate conversation." "But, there's this religion that comes along in many faces, which is that, 'Oh, climate change is going to end the world. AI is going to end the world. Asteroid's going to end the world. COVID-19 is going to end the world.' And it just has a way of fixating your attention, right? "It captures everybody's attention at once. So it's a very seductive thing." "And I think in the case of AI, it's really been overplayed by incentive bias. Motivated reasoning by the companies who are ahead and they want to pull up the ladder behind them." "I think they generally believe that there is safety risk, but I think they're motivated to believe in those safety risks and then they pass that along." "But it's kind of a weird position because they have to say, 'Oh, it's so dangerous that you shouldn't just let open-source go at it. And you should let just a few of us work with you on it. But it's not so dangerous that a private company can't own the whole thing.'" "Because if it was truly the Manhattan Project, if they were building nuclear weapons, you wouldn't want one company to own that." "So to me, the real issue boils down to, how do you push AI forward while not having just a very small number of players control the entire thing?"

Two months ago on Core Memory, Sam Altman called out Anthropic's "fear based marketing" (wrt mythos/Fable) and their intent to gatekeep AI This week alone, Dario has gone on record repeatedly about wanting to slow AI progress Anthropic silently degraded AI-research queries to Fable (they changed course on this, but they still thought it was a good idea) And now that the government is taking them at their word, they're trying to drag GPT-5.5 and OpenAI down with them Yes, the administration is being heavy-handed, but unfortunatley it's the logical end of telling everyone you built a "nuke" and that it's possible for people to use it against us All I'll say is I think it's possible for an institution to both be filled with good people and misaligned. It's not mutually exclusive Sam saw this in April.

The most popular app for teens in Australia is Snapchat with 59% using it daily, it’s one of the leading apps for bullying amongst teens. The government is looking to exempt Snapchat from the U16 social media bans. It’s obvious that the Gov’t is using your children to implement DIGITAL ID and it’s not about the health and wellbeing of teenagers. Here is the PM saying he wants people to form real relationships, so relationships built online must all be fake or everyone is a bot, he must be taking some wild drugs.
