I found this juxtaposition of facts telling:
> Drug design: Using Mythos 5, our internal protein design experts accelerated... Nine of the 14 protein targets from this study (shown below) yielded strong candidates for *drug design that we’re currently investigating*.
(emphasis mine)
> queries that are beneficial in the hands of cybersecurity professionals and biology researchers could be dangerous if available to malicious actors... When Fable’s classifiers detect a request related to cybersecurity, *biology and chemistry*, or distillation, the response is automatically handled by Claude Opus 4.8 instead.
All of the things they are nerfing are things that they also intend to profit from themselves.
- Cybersecurity - selling this to companies and US gov through "Glass Wing".
- Selling inference (distillation risk).
- And now, drug design.
I'm extrapolating "currently investigating" to "are going to monetize" but I don't think that's a big stretch. They appear to be using safety as a cover for anti-competitive behaviour.
Of course. You use their AI to ship code full of bugs and security holes and then they conveniently have the tool to fix them, for an extra fee.
