Trump drops restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models:
> "with Asian AI companies beginning to release their own AI models approaching Mythos-level capabilities — among them Fugu and Tulonfeng — the US government was under pressure to ease its restrictions on Anthropic to ensure that American AI could compete globally."

Rating Scale
I quite like Steph Ango's system of rating 1 to 7 so I'm adopting it. It is more granular than 1 to 5 and 1 to 10 is too many.
- 7 — Perfect, must try, life-changing, go out of your way to seek this out
- 6 — Excellent, worth repeating
- 5 — Good, don’t go out of your way, but enjoyable
- 4 — Passable, works in a pinch
- 3 — Bad, don’t do this if you can
- 2 — Atrocious, actively avoid, repulsive
- 1 — Evil, life-changing in a bad way
