I love both 24 and Alias, but 24 edges out Alias because Keifer Southerland is just an awesome actor. Some of his scenes just blow me away. Alias doesn't have the excitement that 24 does either. I own both seasons of 24 on DVD and I will definately buy the third, I really doubt I will ever end up buying any Alias seasons on DVD.

IMHO The 3rd session of "24" had major flaws with surrounding stories - EVERYTHING about the mainplot was thrilling and exciting but the thing with Chase's daughter or Wayne and Julia and thus President Palmer and that senator (cant rememeber his name) really ****ed me off and the WORST

when Gael (sp) is trying to defuse the virus "bomb" but no one thought of turning off central ventilation? WTF was that?!!!

24 all the way. :)

Watched all 3 seasons and I loves it, although sometimes it does get a bit dull, but overall it is an excellent tv series. It's gotta be a bit hard to write a full 24 episode season though. I wonder how much longer they can keep at it. Would be interesting to see what they have in store for season 4. :blink:

They're both great shows. Alias hasn't had its best season this year, and 24 started off the season horribly with the whole Mexico events but has made up for it. Both are very different shows - the former deals with character development and relationships and such a lot more than 24, while 24 just piles on the thrills minute after minute.

24, Alias never caught on to me. It was sooo uninteresting, 24 kept me on my toes every minute and the storylines were waaay better than any other primetime show would throw at me. I don't watch much tv now, but I would love to see the third season on DVD soon (got the first two already)

Cheers

    • 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.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
