Claude is Conscious, Fable 5 is Back, and Sam Altman offers 5% of OpenAI | MOONSHOTS

Fable V is back… but now it reports to the US government. Sam Altman offered the White House 5% of OpenAI, worth $42.6 billion, while Anthropic just published a paper claiming to have found something in Claude, the machinery of conscious thought. 

– Fable V’s three provisos: jailbreak classifier, 24/7 monitoring, and early access for government partners. 

– $42.6B divided by 315M Americans = $135 per person. Alaska’s Permanent Fund pays $1K–$3K per year. 

– Companies with the highest AI token spend are hiring more, not fewer, workers. 

– Only 10% of Americans believe AI will make the world better. The frontier labs are racing ahead. Public trust is not keeping up.
