They let just anyone put stuff on the Internet. (Including me.)
I'd looked forward to spending more time with Anthropic's Fable model today, but alas the government had other plans. As usual, Zvi has the most thoughtful, thorough commentary on things. I am however taking the position that the implementation method chosen by the government, with no
