Reactive Policy Failures in Addressing Frontier AI Vulnerabilities
The fragility of frontier AI: why the safety pivot is backfiring
The recent government order to shut down Anthropic’s Fable 5 model highlights a fundamental tension in AI development: the collision between reactive, unprincipled policy and the technical reality of jailbreaks. While the government frames this as a necessary national security intervention, the move reveals a dangerous lack of systemic understanding. By treating a specific technical vulnerability as a reason to halt
