CLAUDE FABLE 5 BANNED. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED...
312 segments
Claude Fable 5, the most powerful AI
model ever released, has been banned
across the world. This is, and I mean
this, the biggest news story of the past
3 years and has the potential to crash
the entire global economy if not
reversed in the next 2 days. Let's go
over what this means, how it happened,
why Anthropic is 100% to blame, what you
should be doing right now, and why I
believe the entire global economy is
dependent on Trump reversing this
decision immediately. We have a lot to
cover. This is, without a doubt, the
craziest news story of a very, very long
time. Let's start with the timeline here
and how we got to this point. Claude
Fable 5 was released 3 days ago.
Basically, everyone who has used it
agrees it is not only the greatest AI
model ever released, but it is probably
the biggest technological jump of our
lifetimes. Before this Opus 4 5, when
that came out, really blew people's
minds. The jump up in quality of code
written and decisions the AI can make
were mind-blowing. This took that to a
whole new level. What I've been able to
build with Fable 5 the last few days has
been mind-blowing. But then, tonight,
the news hits my phone. Anthropic
announces that Trump demanded they shut
this model down. They put out this huge
statement that covers a lot of different
things here, but let's break down what
this means. What What is this ban,
exactly? Here's what you need to know.
Basically, Trump said only Americans can
use Fable 5. All foreign nationals, both
inside and outside the country, can no
longer use this model. Why would he do
that? Why would he make this ban? Well,
for several reasons. Trump is claiming
that a jailbreak of this model was
released, which basically means people
can use this model and get past the
guardrails. They can use this model to
build very dangerous things. And because
this model is so powerful, it allows
basically anyone to create these
dangerous things. Anthropic slightly
refutes this statement. They said, "Yes,
jailbreaks have been found, but the
jailbreaks are not general jailbreaks,
right? A general jailbreak being you can
do quite literally anything you want
with the model like building chemical
weapons." Anthropic says it's more like
a spot jailbreak where you can only do
tiny little things here and there, but
they do admit there are jailbreaks
found. But they also said these same
jailbreaks are in every single model.
They narked and said chat GBT 5.5 have
the same jailbreaks. Here's where things
get really, really interesting though,
and this is going to tie into why I
believe we are about to see shockwaves
across the entire globe unless this is
reversed very quickly. Foreign nationals
inside Anthropic can no longer use Fable
5. People who literally work for
Anthropic, but they're foreign nationals
can no longer use the model they built.
There are so many repercussions that
come out of this. One is potentially big
layoffs if foreign nationals can no
longer work on frontier models at these
AI labs. One, the AI labs are going to
lay off the foreign nationals because
they're pretty much useless at the
company now, but two, they're going to
stop hiring them as well. So massive
disruption to the global workforce is
one, but two, and this is the big one,
and this is why I think this should be
reversed in the next two days or else
there are going to be major, major
consequences. A complete disruption of
the global supply chain. What does that
mean? Here is the circular economy that
the entire globe depends on right now.
We've been seeing this go on a lot,
right? AI companies like OpenAI will
sign massive $500 billion contracts with
Nvidia and Micron and other hardware
companies that provide the hardware
OpenAI and
need to train their models. These
contracts are for 5 to 10 years out,
right? They're projecting their revenue
over the next 5 to 10 years based on the
revenue growth they're having globally
at the moment, right? AI revenue is
exploding, so they're projecting out
revenue for the next 10 years, and
they're signing these massive, massive,
massive contracts with Nvidia and all
these other companies. Those companies
then turn around, take those hundreds of
billions and trillions of dollars, and
then invest it into other companies.
Sometimes, right back into Open AI and
Anthropic. This has basically been
carrying the global economy for the last
couple years. While inflation explodes,
people are losing jobs, there's never
been bigger profit margins, there's
never been bigger revenue beats,
companies have never been doing better.
And that is because of this circular AI
economy we've built. The issue is, and
this is why this is so dangerous, and I
believe this should get reversed by
Monday, if Anthropic can no longer
profit off of other countries and can
only profit off Americans, their revenue
is going to be significantly less over
the next 5 years than originally
projected. That means they will not be
able to fulfill these massive
multi-hundred-billion-dollar
contracts they just signed with Nvidia
and Micro and all these other hardware
companies. And because they won't be
able to fulfill those contracts, those
companies won't be able to fulfill the
contracts they have on the investments
with other companies, and this entire
circle collapses. Our global economy has
basically been built on the assumption
that AI will succeed. It's been built on
the assumption that these companies will
make trillions of dollars of profit over
the next decade. By having such a
massive disruption that Anthropic is no
longer allowed to sell frontier model.
They're still allowed to sell Sonnet,
Haiku, Opus, but they're no longer
allowed to sell Fable to other
countries. Even though it's just that,
that's still a massive disruption. That
means they're going to buy less chips to
train Frontier models on if only one
country can use it. That means they're
going to make less money off their
subscriptions, their models, and this
entire circle collapses. And this is the
circle that the whole world is basically
built on right now. I think it is not a
coincidence that this was announced on a
Friday night. It is 10:18 p.m. here in
Cabo, Mexico. I'm on vacation. I dropped
everything to cover this story. I don't
think it's any coincidence. Basically,
during the last 2 years of Trump's
second term, every huge piece of
financial news dropped on a Friday
night. He is very cognizant of the stock
market. He is very cognizant of the
economy. Every war he started has
started on a Friday night. It's never
started on a Monday. I don't think it's
any coincidence this was dropped on a
Friday night because if this goes to
Monday, if this was dropped on a weekday
while the stock market was open, I have
basically no doubt the entire stock
market would crash. The reason why the
Nasdaq's hitting all new highs, the
S&P's hitting all new highs, is the
assumption that these companies will be
spending trillions of dollars over the
next 10 years. That assumption is
destroyed on this news. It appears,
based on what's on TV, and this is not a
political channel. I'm not into
politics. It appears Trump is into the
stock market. I do not think he would
want the entire global economy and stock
market to crash. So, I have the belief
that this will be reversed by Sunday,
which personally and selfishly I'm
hoping happens because I've absolutely
fell in love with this Fable model. The
amount of building I've been able to do
over the last few days has been absurd.
Two more things I want to cover. First,
why this is all Anthropic's fault.
Anthropic has basically spent the last
couple years using fearmongering as a
marketing tactic. They've basically been
saying AI is going to take every job,
it's going to kill everything, it's
going to destroy everything. It's the
basically it's a doomsday. This all kind
of crescendoed a couple months ago when
Mythos was announced, what Fable is
based off of. They said Mythos is too
dangerous, we can't give it to the
people, we can only give it to certain
companies, we can't release this, that
would be too dangerous. Too dangerous to
put out in public. Then they go around
and they put out articles saying the
government should have the power to
block and deter and stop dangerous AI
models. What they were thinking they
were doing, and this is my opinion, was
setting themselves up to determine the
rules. I think they were trying to
capture policy, right? They were trying
to help dictate what the rules in
America would be. I don't think what
they actually expected was what would
happen tonight, which is the government
would use what they were asking for
against them, right? They asked the
government to be able to block any sort
of powerful models that are too
dangerous. The government just did that
to them. They asked for this. They've
been asking for this type of thing to
happen for a very long time. They've
been using fearmongering when they
should have been using hope instead, and
that fearmongering has bit them in the
wazoo. This is something they probably
regret deeply. I mean, they've walked
back the fearmongering over the last few
weeks, it seems, cuz I think they
started to see what's happening here.
But this happening is 100% Anthropic's
fault. I I believe they didn't use
fearmongering in the marketing of
Mythos, this would have never happened.
But because they talked about how
dangerous this is, now it is banned and
no one can use it. So here's the big
one, what this means for you. It means
that chat GPT 5.5 is most powerful model
again. This was the model I've been
using for the past few weeks before
Fable came out. I absolutely loved it. I
think it's the first time in basically a
year and a half that GPT had the best
coding model. Fable changed that. When
Fable came out, I said, "Well, this is a
wrap. There's no way OpenAI will ever be
able to catch up this cuz Fable is so
incredible." Well, guess what? It took
Fable getting banned for ChatGPT to come
back. 5.5 is the model you need to be
using now for any sort of coding or
building and even just business planning
talking. I find 5.5 to be fantastic.
Also, you get way higher limits. You can
use ton of it and it's much cheaper than
Fable. But, here's another one and this
is something I've actually been talking
about for a long time now. I've been
making predictions about this for months
and months and months and it turns out
all of those predictions are 100% true.
I've been saying for months now local AI
is the future. I've been saying we're
going to reach a time where governments
and corporations are going to be taking
away your models. They'll be making them
way too expensive and they'll be making
it hard for the average person to access
them. And here we are now, June 12th,
the average person, really nobody can
access the model. Even people inside
Anthropic can access the model anymore.
By buying hardware, by buying your own
compute and running your own AI models
locally, no one can take that away.
There's no government that can take away
your Mac Studio running Qwen 3.6.
There's no government that can take away
your DJI Spark that's running GLM 5.1.
No one can take that away from you and
that's why I believe open source and
local models are the future because I
think this is only the beginning. I
think things like this will only
continue to happen and ramp up. I just
hope we don't face a situation over the
next few days where these decisions lead
to an economic collapse that impacts way
more people than just the vibe coders
who are building stuff with Fable right
now. I hope this was helpful. I hope
this got you up to date on everything
going on. If it did, leave a like down

The video discusses the sudden global ban on the 'Claude Fable 5' AI model, imposed by the Trump administration due to alleged security concerns and jailbreak vulnerabilities. The speaker highlights the potentially catastrophic impact of this decision on the global AI-driven economy, specifically regarding long-term infrastructure contracts and employment. The analysis also explores how Anthropic's own past fearmongering about AI safety inadvertently created the regulatory environment that led to this ban, and recommends that users shift to local, open-source AI models as a safeguard against future government or corporate restrictions.
