On Friday 12 June, AI powerhouse Anthropic cut off all access to their latest-and-greatest “Fable 5” AI model. Based on the incredibly powerful Mythos, which has the capacity to hack into almost any computer, Fable had safeguards to block that sort of use – or so Anthropic believed. A hack to ‘jailbreak’ Fable 5 went viral just a day after it went live, and very quickly the White House got alarmed. Mark shares the whole tale with RNZ “Nine To Noon” host Kathryn Ryan.
