AI Censorship

Its one AI for government and military, and one AI for you.  Overlords don't want people using AI to the best of its ability. They'll ban it first.

AI Army and warmongers want full control.  Makia Freeman introduces what Hegseth is about, supporting Zionist wars and cult beliefs, in considering why he wants to dictate what Anthropic's models can be allowed to do.  Brother and sister Amedoi of Anthropic have decided against giving military full reign to his model Fable 5.  He examines, with quotes from Research Gate article:-

'While the world-at-large is warning of the enhanced AI robots and the dystopian future that their use will create, the Department of War wants the Amodeis to hand over their technology without any caveats for responsible use, ethos or law.  Instead, Hegseth is demanding a private company abandon their morality and obey his order.'

'When programming Claude, the Amodeis drew up an 84-page Constitution that defines behavior into good and bad components. The Pentagon, Hegseth and the War Department are considered bad actions that compromise humanity. Hegseth is angry. Claude is above grade.'

Hegseth demanded in a tweet that the Dept. of War must have full unrestricted access to the model for lawful purposes in defence of the realm.  (Anthropic has already been used for war purposes; the kidnaping of Maduro and who knows what else, such as actions against Iran.)

"Cloaked in sanctimonious rehetoric of 'effective altruism'. - Hegseth on Anthropic (ethics is now 'sanctimonious')

THIS IS THE DEBATE. Can AI owners determine moral outcomes of its own models, or can governments demand AI models do its bidding without ethical considerations.  It could also be the other way around: AI developers building unethical war focussed models, and governments not wanting them.  Sadly the race for war technology has never been greater...

U.S. Government asked Anthropic to take it down.  Only verified Americans and no foreign nationals can use the model.  Its essentially an export control.  Guardrails, project 'Glasswing', can be prevented, by breaking down questions into small parts. That produced uncensored results.  1M views on Twitter, got it taken down.

China then came in with a similar model; so everyone can use a frontier model so long as its Chinese. By banning Anthropic models, its handing AI advances to China.  Gov saying don't ban Deep Seek yet.  Chinese models a fraction of the cost.

So why should companies pay more in token usage.  Trump may put an import ban.  The only internet access to AI models you can use will be on a white list, then they'll be a black list.

How would you know what malicious intent could be imbedded in the models. 'Static analysis' is a frontier question that has not been answered.

Todd says "is it fair to say that AI access is now becoming a national security weapon".  Declaring war on AI.  It becomes too controlled.  Joe Blogs wont be able to run these frontier models.    Mike asks will AI become contraband in gov's eyes and raid people's homes?  Gov don't want people becoming super smart.

Zack thinks this will come into force by end of 2026.  A different battlescape with black list fully in place against Chinese AI models.  Or expect a price drop for open AI.  Can't have people turning against the government, so they wont allow citizens' rights for AI.

Mike says it will keep the people stupid; even corporations can't compete without open source access.

Theres a lot of truths being kept from the population.  Zack points out America's bad record: Standard Oil funded Hitler;  US behind Bolshevic recolution.  China doesn't have that narrative, so can be more honest, without censorship on their models.  Whenever you censor, you diminish your country's future.

Advice:  Self custody your own models.

The facts from a mainstream blog: informedclearly.com :

'Mythos 5 is a 'superhacker' AI that can identify thousands of software vulnerabilities and develop working exploits with minimal human input, making it a powerful tool for both cybersecurity defense and offense.'

' ....its most advanced AI model, Claude Fable 5....Anthropic to immediately suspend access for all foreign nationals—effectively forcing the company to disable the model worldwide.'

This was after anthropic "refused Pentagon demands in February 2026 to remove contractual restrictions prohibiting the use of its AI for domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons."

This is a company taking an ethical stand; saying WHAT it won't allow its product to be used for.  An important milestone in the philosophy of AI usage.  One wonders, though, if this is punishment for a Company and a model which wouldn't allow its usage in unethical government activities.

Fable 5 was built on the previously restricted Mythos architecture.  "The model excelled at identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities—a feature that would prove to be its undoing."  Amazon, a major Anthropic investor believed Fable 5 could be exploited for cyber attacks.  Anthropic argued there was only a "narrow non-universal jailbreak".  So as every user cannot be identified, government banned it.

At the G7 2026, Europeans discussed the effects of advanced AI models being banned. 'The Fable 5 ban provides a concrete example of the 'kill switch' risk that European policymakers have warned about—where a foreign government can unilaterally cut off access to critical AI infrastructure'.  This is a good point.  In the case of Fable 5, large companies had already integrated it.

Prior to the ban, approximately 150 organizations in more than 15 countries had access to Mythos under Anthropic's Project Glasswing, spanning healthcare, communications, power, and water sectors. The Anthropic AI model restrictions effectively cut off foreign researchers, hospitals, and critical infrastructure operators overnight.

In an age where militaries are using AI, one wonders if the capabilities of Fable 5 are either being jealously guarded against copying by other nations, or being shut down to others who may learn what its capable of: not simply to prevent other forces, but to hide what the US military is capable of, or even what it has already done.
