> From my perspective, Anthropic is the party we need to hold accountable here. It's insane that Ray Myers thinks that Anthropic did anything related to this port that requires holding them accountable; the fact that he used those words makes me want to prevent him from having any influence over AI policy.

Funding and owning something makes you accountable yes, that's how it works normally.

  Also pushing it for marketing purposes and giving free preview to Fable might contribute something.

  For what, rewriting an open source project in a new language? It’s insane that in 2026 this is seen as controversial.

    No, for repeatedly using such low quality rewrites as marketing for your upcoming IPO, to convince people to evaluate your company more. It's insane that in 2026 we are still falling for these tricks really.

      Why shouldn't people evaluate Anthropic more after seeing this technical achievement using their software product? Seriously, let's say that every single instance of people using Anthropic LLMs to translate code in an open-source software project from one language to another was deliberately orchestrated by Anthropic's marketing department, with the aim of increasing their stock price at IPO. Even if this were true, why specifically would that be bad? Why would that be some kind of offense that Anthropic as a company committed, that they would need to be held accountable for? If you think that Anthropic's stock price will be overvalued at its IPO because too many other investors are looking at uses of Anthropic LLMs to translate code in this way, drawing a flawed conclusion from them, and then using that flawed conclusion to bid up the price of Anthropic stock, then you can trade against them in the market. Short Anthropic's stock. If you're not sure enough about this thesis to actually make this trade, then why should anyone take you seriously when you claim that this is some kind of "trick" on Anthropic's part?
