US export controls were placed on Anthropic's newest AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, on June 12. These controls required restricting access to foreign nationals. Due to the immediate effect and inability to verify nationality in real-time, Anthropic suspended access for all users. As of June 30, these export controls have been lifted. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that Anthropic was analyzed and approved over the past two weeks to ensure alignment and strengthen US AI leadership. The author criticizes this process as performative nonsense lacking genuine oversight. They draw a parallel to "kayfabe," a term from professional wrestling, to describe the Trump administration's approach to truth and reality. This concept suggests a belief system where everything is perceived as bullshit, and power dictates truth. The author suggests Anthropic played along with the situation, as the controversy generated significant publicity. The narrative of an AI model being too dangerous and then suddenly available is described as invaluable advertising.
