Incredible. They’re speed-running enshittification, but they forgot the step where they make something that almost everyone wants to use.

    Well fable was interesting until the US government basically blocked it for the whole world.

    The government is acting on the PR fed to them by pro-government* Anthropic lobbyists

    It will be interesting to see if this is just a prereq for certain models like Fable, or if they roll this out more widely.

    There are certainly some governments around the world that have considered requiring age verification for chatbots. Not sure any such laws are already in effect.

    I don't even want to express an opinion whether I find that worse or less bad than doing so for social media.
