Fortunately I can't use Fable anyway, since their hyperactive content flaggers do not let you work on anything remotely biological or medical related (i.e. parse a CSV with some medical content, nope, you're probably a bioterrorist) and you get downgraded to Opus immediately.

- siva7 4mo agoThe alternative of... saving lives?
- anigbrowl 4mo agoThey don't want the real risk of someone using it to make biological or genetically targeted weapons, and they don't want the social risk of someone asking it a bunch of leading questions in order to 'prove' some racist thesis or to 'prove' Mythos is woke if it declines to along with their performative inquiry. Let's face it, if some rando comes up to and asks if you have a few minutes to talk about population biology there's a good chance they're a kook.

- SepiaSapient 4mo agoDidn't you know? Lab work being a skill is fake news. Jimmy Schoolshooter can make a couple of kilos of Anthrax in an afternoon with our cool genie. Remember to buy the IPO!
- fer 4mo agoThe alternative of not hyping the IPO enough
- sigmar 4mo agoIt's temporary. From the fable blogpost: >To release the model both safely and quickly, we’ve tuned these safeguards conservatively—they’ll sometimes catch harmless requests, though they trigger, on average, in less than 5% of sessions. With more capable models arriving in the coming months, we’re working to improve our safeguards and reduce false positives as quickly as we can.
- notrealyme123 4mo agoSure. IMO a lot of people will not touch fable again. The risk is to high. If they don't want the model to be good in some field they shouldn't train it on it. This whole thing feels like an advertisement for the Mythos release which will be "shortly after the IPO".
- webstrand 4mo agoThey had similar messages on Opus, they never fixed or relaxed the topic-related safeguards there. I doubt they will here, either.
- torginus 4mo agoMy 2 cents is that doctors people with lots of money and very specific needs who generally don't really go for tech jobs, so they're probably planning to create a separate monetization tier. That, or alternatively, Mythos is so good at medical stuff, that it cam replace a lot of physician work 90% of the time, pissing off doctors, while the remaining 10% would result in very expensive lawsuits.
- DrewADesign 4mo ago> That, or alternatively, Mythos is so good at medical stuff, that it cam replace a lot of physician work 90% of the time, pissing off doctors Well they definitely don’t give a teaspoon of shit about putting people out of work by hawking munged-up versions of those people’s data, which was involuntarily ‘ingested’ for the benefit of society (in a way that happened to fuel a centabillion dollar industry.) So it’s prolly not that one.
- junofan 4mo agoMore likely whomever they’re consulting is protecting their own bags.
- duskwuff 4mo agoThird alternative: Mythos is so catastrophically bad at medical tasks that attempting to use it for medical research would instead create bioweapons. ;)
- nmfisher 4mo agoI'm not even working on anything biological/medical, almost all PyTorch work is getting flagged (not even a safety notice and a downgrade, just an outright refusal with "this is against our ToS").
- drakythe 4mo agoThey're pissed about distillation "attacks" and locking down transformer based work to prevent that, would be my guess. Its how they'll protect "their" IP (Model Weights and other features) now that they've plundered the rest of the world's.
- killerstorm 4mo agoYeah... I've got downgraded to Opus 4.8 in a purely theoretical discussion of a secure permission model for agent tool calls. So classifier is very broad, indeed
