I've always hoped they would reduce the prices on older titles eventually. On the one hand it's a shame it's only for a few days, but on the other it's half price which is way better than I would have ever expected. Going to be hard to resist buying those, even the ones I don't necessarily want. :D

Is Small Arms good?

For what it is, its rather decent. I personally couldn't get used to the control, but then again I never got the full version. Thinking about picking it up today as its only 400 till tonight, I figure what the hey. Plus, maybe more people will be playing multiplayer on it now with the price drop :D

But for a small little action game, it looks great (considering its an XBLA game after all and over a year old now) and is nice and smooth.

as usual? what's wrong with you?

Between my back which is in horrible shape, and my knees - I'm in pain all the time.

But last night my food got "stuck" for hours, which is a byproduct of sorts from my gastric bypass from 2001. Sometimes if I eat to fast or take to much in one bite, the food gets stuck, it hurts like hell and you can't swallow your spit or liquids until it either goes down or you just vomit. Normally it goes down pretty fast or I vomit, but last night it was just hours of ugh.

    • 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.
