ok, it's vent time...

The next time anyone suggests holding a major event in the Fleet Center, they need to be muzzled, shot, whatever phrase you wish!

Granted, the Fleet is like 100 yards from I93, but there's a perfectly good convention center in South Boston, all new, shiney etc.

But it's too late now, the DNC mess is here :(

We now have one heck of a traffic mess with I93 being closed during the evening...

State troopers, dressed in black, stopping every moving truck and van that they think is a "risk" going in and out of Boston - thus slowing traffic down as we all gawk at the mess!

I for one will be glad when the democrats leave Boston on Thursday night, good riddins and thanks a bunch for screwing up lots of people's lives...

I agree.

The shutdown of 93 is a major headache. I am avoiding Boston at all costs.

I had a doctor's appointment there, for some experimental treatment on my cancer, and I had to cancel, thanks to the DNC. Traffic is a nightmare.

However, it's gotta be held somewhere. However, the FleetCenter is smack in the middle of everything!

Yeah, chill out, it's only a few days. I live in Seattle, WA. We have to deal with MAJOR traffic problems everyday, because of sports games in our new stadiums that are right next to the main non-freeway arterial into downtown Seattle. Freeways are ALWAYS jammed during the week. So if us people in Seattle need to live with this everday, you can live with traffic hell for a few days.

Sorry to be a stickler, but Boo-fuking-hoo!

Try living on Oahu in Hawaii, where there is 3 freeways that merge into one to get into downtown Honolulu. Or, how about Los Angeles, where there is traffic for no damn reason at no particular time?

Maybe you Bostonians should learn the meaning of ALTERNATE travel. The Bay Area can have some pretty sick traffic at times, but if you're smart and plan ahead, you can avoid a good part of it.

On a side note to the DNC, I find it hilarious and really sad that they are fortifying Boston like a damn military base for these sorry ******s, yet they can't find a way to protect everyday citizens. Everytime I see this thing on the news it makes me sick.

grow up...it's only a few days
You grow up. Many business's are closing for the time because the city is virtually shut down. If you die the hearses can't take you away for security reasons.
What exactly is the point of this thread?

Who are the idiots that okayed that planning?

So if us people in Seattle need to live with this everday

If its an all time event then it should have been planned for. The DNC is a one time event which

wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for security concerns. There is a big difference between "heavy" traffic and no traffic.

ALTERNATE travel

If you want to get into Boston you can't, it is closed. Not heavey traffic...no traffic. There are no alternate routes. Believe we know about heavey traffic. The "Big Dig" didn't help to alleviate it.

The original idea still stands. Chill out, you'll get over it. There isn't any reason to bring it up on this forum. Everyone has to deal with some crap they can't stand. Yet do you see everyone bringing there issues up on this forum and that is because we have better things to do and we all know we'll get past it. Like I said there isn't any reason for you to bring it up on this forum. Get over it.

Seattle traffic is nasty, but we live with it. We have a good bus system and simple commuter rail, but the liberals here are killing any effort for true mass transit.

I noticed that the post was made by a different person then the person who started this thread. However, what I said still stands because if you identify with that person who started this thread they what I said applies to you too.

The conventionis part of our process. The extra guards are necessary to assist in the prevention of any violence. Live with it - its only 1 week.

Okay I must retract my prior post. I forgot construction on the main artery was incomplete.

Idiots for planning that. It must have been demanded by Kerry

No, but thanks for trying. It was demanded by Menino. He consistently stated Boston could handle the influx of people, and wanted to make Boston look like a viable large city for future events.

Or maybe it wasn't Menino, maybe it was everyone trying to take orders from Mayor Mumbles who got it wrong. Either way, I wouldn't be in town this week if I could avoid it.

the convention didn't pop up over night - it's been planned for over a year. you COULD have planned to be out of town this week

leave your town, the democrats are coming to visit. i mean, come on, why are people's lives being inconvienced for a convention. The RNC isn't going to close many business unlike the DNC which closed almost all businesses around it. The RNC is going to help business, not hurt it, and trains wil still run (though more secure), but daily NY will continue. Unlike in boston.

Never been to Boston, have you? It's about 1/100 the size of New York. Plus, let's see how the RNC turns out, ok? My guess is they'll be just as many people complaining.

yes, i've been to boston, democrats could have gone to NY, but they refused to because they wouldn't go if the republicans were going. and the RNC has promised not to close business.

    • 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.
