What was said
"The Treasury Secretary of the United States called Dario personally. Why wouldn't this be a 5-minute call? Why wouldn't Dario just say, 'Yes, sir, we take security more seriously than anybody else. We'll fix this problem.' And instead of doing that, he sort of pedantically argued that this jailbreak wasn't really a serious issue."
David Sacks revealed that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rebuffed a direct phone call from the Treasury Secretary requesting the company take down its Fable AI model over jailbreak security concerns. According to Sacks, Anthropic's refusal to immediately comply with the national security request badly damaged trust with the administration and led to export control actions. The disclosure exposes deep friction between the AI company and government officials.
