Artificial Intelligence thread

[Bellum_Romanum]

So, Anthropic launched Mythos / Fable 5 today. The benchmarks put it at ~65 in Artificial Intelligence, which is about a +5 lead on the previous state of the art (Opus 4.8) and nearest competitor (GPT 5.5), but what I found more interesting was this:

Looks like Anthropic is actively trying to stifle competitors from using their models to accelerate their own model development by making the model quietly and intentionally direct you in the wrong direction. This is an interesting (and rather ruthless) move against competing labs and further secures their reputation as a closed lab with no intention of sharing with the world, and every intention of monopolizing intelligence capabilities for their own purposes. As always, Western labs can't seem to avoid mask off moments.

It is also a reminder of the importance of AI sovereignty and independence, as the alternative of relying on the US - as the likes of Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. are doing - means giving them the right to keep you permanently behind via quietly sabotaging the capabilities of models available to you. The sooner the world is rid of the West's dominance of frontier coding AI, the better.

I don't know why this recent development is even a surprise to begin with. The idea that AI would democratize advance knowledge; establishing a more "human-centered development" which would then firmly cement western style democracy in the world over was a pipe dream for the idiots!

Western AI and anything it introduces to the world will always placed it above the rest while the rest pays rent and sustenance extracting the world from its tangible natural resources that would essentially keep it from developing and competing with the west. It'll will always be a "class based, tiered system."

Sadly for the Anthropics of the world but luckily for the rest of mankind, China and Chinese tech is in their way.
