Summary: 

The most advanced AI model ever released to the public, Anthropic's Fable 5, was pulled from shelves roughly 48 hours after launch. Not by Anthropic. By the US government, citing national security and export control concerns. The ban applies to all foreign nationals, meaning non-US citizens are locked out entirely. I went through the full timeline on the live: the jailbreak, the Amazon angle, David Sacks' government-side narrative, and why Dario Amodei arguably talked his own model into a ban by spending months telling everyone it was a weapon.

The more interesting question though isn't whether we get Fable back. It's what this reveals about the structure underneath all of it. You don't own your AI access. It's rented land. A government or a boardroom decision and it's gone, sometimes with 90 minutes' notice. In this one I get into what that actually means practically: local models, open source alternatives, the geopolitical chess game between the US and China, and the one skill that matters regardless of which model you're using.
