Anthropic Launches Gatekept AI Model Denying Access to General Public

What was said

"If you're part of the shortlist that Anthropic approves, yes, you get unrestrained Mythos access, but then for the rest of the permanent underclass, you can't really do anything meaningful with it. There's people asking like, is the mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell? And it stops the conversation."

Hosts express alarm over Anthropic's new Fable model that restricts frontier AI capabilities to approved users while preventing the general public from even asking basic biology questions. They warn this creates dangerous regulatory capture and stifles innovation by determining who gets access to advanced models, though note the Trump administration's AI czar David Sacks is raising concerns about this approach.
