Simon Willison blogged more on the Fable shutdown drama:

This whole situation is such a mess. Non-technical decision-makers have been hearing that models that can “craft cyber attacks” are uniquely dangerous for months. Now they look ready to ban any model that can help us secure our code.

Anthropic spent months telling everyone that their model is dangerous. Now they’re annoyed that we believed them. Maybe this is an argument for open weights. Less centralized control, more transparent development.
