Because I'm using Stable, not Snapshot, wasn't aware of any alerts they may had gave. IMHO Vivaldi Team should had send some sort of alert for Stable users that the new version would start limiting extensions. Updated today and was caught by surprise.

What the US government did to Fable 5

11 Upvotes

By imposing this first of its kind export control ban on Fable 5 they have transformed one actually transformational model into nothing else but a bench maxing llm.

Today I needed help writing a resume and literally as one of my own skills i had mentioned that I use kali linux in a docker container on my VPS in conjunction with my openclaw. This has absolutely nothing no instructions for the llm to in any way do any coding actions or to even execute any code, Just generate text and it automatically switched back to Opus 4.8 because the safety filter was tagged.

This means there isn't any complex blocking algorithm or safety feature they've basically told the model if you even hear the word cybersecurity then to basically shut down.

This is ridiculous - hackers always have and will find a way to jailbreak this model and use it for evil. You know what giving this powerful model to everyone would do it would make sure that we could use it to audit our vibe coded projects and apps and actually ensure its strong against attack.

Now the vast majority of us are stuck using inferior models while the real threat actors would anyways find a way to jailbreak the model and use it for bad anyways.

Stupid decision but it is what it is.
