I was browsing DeviantArt last night, and noticed this as new:

(There's a problem with the devart dl, so you can go to to actually get the download.)

I figured what the hell, I was bored, and my backup was done anyways...might as well give it a shot.

Now, while they obviously have some work to do on it...so far, I'm pretty damned impressed. It basically does what LongHorn Transformation Pack does...well, it doesn't install the Visual Styles and such by itself (and it uses KoL's with his permission in the archive, and I *far* prefer WindowsX's versions for some reason, so I just use his Slate Refresh instead), but it has plenty of stuff in the archive, and the system file replacement is pretty damn painless if you ask me.

And it made my screens look purrrdy. :cool:

How did it break it?

Just the system file replacement, while looking like it was going normally, for some reason just croaked mid-replacement. Removed all the old system files, didn't put new ones in.

Ah, the joys of going into recovery console. :) (Luckily it kept all the old system files in a backup off of system32.)

Also, if a mod is around, can you please change the subject to "LTP" not "LHP"? Please? I dunno where my brain was. :(

He's not talking about this. Try reading the thread from the beginning.

Actaully I know what he was talking about, I looked into it and was thinking about using it and now since I am already touch with things like that I don't want to use it. If you don't know what I am talking about then dont bother.

It's one that's included with this pack...I REALLY like it for some reason. Here's my desktop with the "Mystic" mod of Slate Refresh by WindowsX (with a couple minor mods) and that wallpaper:

    • 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.
