> The export control directive on June 12 came after the government became aware of a report in which Amazon researchers had found a method of bypassing Fable 5\u2019s safeguards: prompting it so that it identified a number of software vulnerabilities.

Over the past two weeks, we have worked closely with the government and other partners, including Amazon, to review the report and evidence.

This indicates three things:
1) WTF was Amazon thinking? Didn't their researches try the same thing in other models too before telling the CEO to tell the government it was dangerous (!?)
2) Anthropic - in particular Dario - really needs to learn government relations better. Most of the problems Anthropic has had with the government seem to stem from Dario's attitude rather than actual facts. (Eg, the DoD debacle seems to have ended up with OpenAI signing almost the same contract Anthropic already had, just worded differently)
3) The administration decision making is just wacky. In a normal administration they'd have actual policy documents you could look at to understand under what circumstances they think models have a problem. With this they just seem to make it up as they go, and the tools they use make no sense at all.
