Citing Anthropic's safety concerns regarding Fable and China's release of a corresponding open-source model, the author argues a strong point: technical AI safety seems to have become "meaningless."
The core sentiment is a sense of powerlessness—that once highly capable models are open-sourced, their safety guardrails are quickly bypassed. However, the debate remains focused on the tension between safety governance and capability proliferation.
