U.S. export-control directive suspends access for foreign nationals; Anthropic disables Fable 5 and Mythos 5

In its Friday night announcement post, Anthropic said the government has only provided it with "verbal evidence of a potential narrow, non-universal jailbreak" that involves getting Fable 5 to review a specific codebase for software flaws. The company says it has only seen evidence of this kind of jailbreak being used to find "minor" and "relatively simple" software vulnerabilities, and that other publicly available models like GPT-5.5 has similar capabilities on this score.

Washington National Opera sues Kennedy Center for $17M

music
262KYesterday

WNO filed suit saying the Kennedy Center refused to return more than $17 million in donations and endowment funds after their split.

64. With the status of WNO’s funds in limbo, donors have also been confused as to the proper destination of funds intended for WNO after termination. For instance, last year a court resolved an ambiguity in one donor’s estate documents, which contained an apparent misnomer as to the intended beneficiary, by determining that the donor intended her substantial gift— approximately $300,000—to benefit WNO. However, the court directed that the funds be paid to the Kennedy Center for the benefit of WNO. When news broke that WNO and the Kennedy Center would part ways, the estate inquired whether the Kennedy Center should still receive the bequest. Even after the parties terminated the 2024 Agreement and their separation became public, the Kennedy Center insisted that the funds should be sent to it, not to WNO. And later, when WNO demanded return of the $300,000 gift, the Kennedy Center refused and instead proposed that it be split in half with WNO, after deducting the Kennedy Center’s legal fees from the gift. This is emblematic of the Kennedy Center’s willingness to disregard donors’ intentions and attempt to keep for itself funds that were plainly intended for and belong to WNO. These events have sown confusion among donors and threaten to delay or divert contributions intended for WNO unless WNO regains control over its funds.
