"I think this is the first time ever where the user has no control over which model you're actually using." — Shimin on Fable 5's safety fallback, which answers blocked questions with Opus 4.8 instead.
This week on ADI Pod: Anthropic ships Fable 5 and Mythos 5, hackers sweet-talk Meta's AI support bot into handing over Instagram accounts (including Obama's), interpretability opens up the black box, Chris Roth's Future of Agents, and Shimin demos Inhabited Design. Rahul's back; the clock moves to 5:20.
▸ Fable 5 & Mythos 5 (Anthropic) — mostly incremental benchmarks, a step change in spatial reasoning (Blueprint Bench 2), scales cleanly with thinking tokens where Opus 4.8 zigzags, and it beats Pokémon FireRed on vision alone. Fable 5's safety classifier blocks cybersecurity and biohazard prompts and answers with Opus 4.8 instead; Mythos 5 stays unguarded for the Project Glasswing cohort. Subscription access ends June 22, then usage-based pricing only.
▸ The Meta AI Hack (Krebs on Security) — the recipe spread on Telegram from May 31: VPN exit near the target's hometown, then ask Meta's AI support assistant to send reset codes to your new email. It complies. Pro-Iranian hackers defaced the Obama White House Instagram and a Space Force account. Why does a support bot hold elevated permissions to replace a boring form? Red teams will make bank.
▸ LLMs Are Not the Black Box You Were Promised (Jay Hack) — on Anthropic's "On the Biology of a Large Language Model." Circuit tracing with a sparse replacement model — one neuron per concept — shows features firing in sequence: Dallas, then Texas, then Austin. Models plan rhymes ahead of the line, and they confabulate how they do math. Shimin: metacognition may be the durable human advantage.
▸ The Future of Agents (Chris Roth) — personal agents, bring-your-own-agent trust boundaries, super apps as agent clients, open standards (MCP, A2A, AG-UI), enterprise open source, generative UI. The hosts push back: code is cheap enough that adapters kill any standard's network effects. Shimin migrated his Pi-agent skills to Claude Code with one prompt. There is no AI moat.
▸ Vibe and Tell: Inhabited Design — Shimin's open-source skill for escaping RLHF attractor states (the same stock ticker and Bloomberg yellow on every finance landing page). Verbalized sampling plus intent-factored generation: sample uniformly over designer, typography, and inspiration, then run two convergence loops. Dan's verdict: "it still feels like a human designer did it."
▸ Two Minutes to Midnight — Google will pay SpaceX $920M a month for compute at xAI data centers; Google already owns a chunk of SpaceX. The S&P 500 won't bend its rules for SpaceX and OpenAI fast-track inclusion. Alphabet upsizes its equity raise to $84.75B against roughly $190B in 2026 capex. Founders Fund's $20M SpaceX check from 2008 is now worth $26–52B. Clock: 5:30 → 5:20.
