I say just make sure all of you who paid by credit card do not get charged again for the extra. Not sure about in the US but that is ILLEGAL as hell in the UK (although it does still happen). You have only given consent to the one transaction.

Apart from that, HP can do nothing at all really. You have the product, they don't. At some point soon, some bright spark at HP will realise that the cost of chasing up each monitor is gonna be so huge, and the customer relations will be so bad, that they will decide to just leave it.

If they have any common sense...

Oh, oh dear, oh deary dear. I have just seen the problem!

you are probably looking at the 15" model, which pals in comparison with this one. google it up and you will see this being discussed in a lot of threads elsewhere and the responses has been great. hey, no one is forcing you to buy it, just don't regret passing it by later.

blackice912, did HP ever reply to your email, or have they contacted you again requesting you pay the difference?

Just wondering if they have realised their mistake and stopped trying or not.

Well they contacted me at 9am last time, so I'm thinking they may try again around that time.

isn't it funny how they always call when you're not there??? I've had MANY companies call my place at like 2 or 3 in the afternoon when I was at work, and I'd come home and see my caller ID have the same numbers every day...soo bloomy annoying

Had someone that used to work in marketing point this out to me :

The HP Web site states:

"*Prices, promotions, specifications, availability and terms of offers may

change without notice. Despite our best efforts, a small number of items may

contain pricing, typography, or photography errors. Correct prices and

promotions are validated at the time your order is placed. Please note these

policies apply only to products sold by hpshopping.com; reseller offers may

vary."

Note the 3rd sentence. That means the price they charge you is official.

There's no way they can back out of that, even if they wanted to.

Bamf! :yes:

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
