Small reminder that the US government rug-pulled Fable, not Dario. Lots of the safety guards that users find annoying/objectionable were the results of negotiations to get the model back online after the US government forced them to take it down.

Maybe Dario should have just "donated" $1M to Trump's inauguration fund like Altman, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Tim Cook, Elon, and Google. There's a reason they are the odd man out with this current Administration.

Maybe Dario shouldn’t have tried for regulatory capture. He was constantly on the news talking about how these models are so dangerous and that we need regulation to keep China from releasing open-source models without guardrails.

The US government didn't make the choices to release the worst version of Opus and label it 5.0, and then isolate portions of their subscribers to limited usage of Fable.

They may have been unfairly targeted by the US government, but they are doing more damage to themselves without government help as well.

Fable only being temporarily included in cheaper subscriptions was because anthropic is severely GPU constrained. They still are, and it impacts almost all of those unpopular decisions. They did announce from the beginning it was temporary.

Horrifying excuse, gpu constraint can be used by all of these companies to justify a shit user experience. If the user isn't properly weighed in their priorities, they have their priorities setup wrong.

Their 20$ tier currently isn't serving their best model, and they insulted their users by putting out an ill tested opus 5.0, which is the worst experience ive personally had using a model in probably 2 years(obviously adjusting for expectations at the time of release).

		Yes, as a user you pick what works for you. But it is a reality for them that growth has been huge, and GPU manufacturing is bottlenecked. People were very skeptical about how much investment most companies put into hardware/data centers two years ago, and anthropic was more conservative than OpenAI here, so it's potentially hurting them now. (Opus is a separate story: it does seem to have improved in coding in my experience, most weirdness seems to be its human communication)
