Fable 5, a new AI model many times more powerful than previous ones, can generate 3D worlds from text and turn Wikipedia articles into simulations, raising concerns about job displacement and economic inequality.
Wow, so now we have the world's first trillionaire, and we have the most powerful models being developed. And on top of that, Fable 5 came out yesterday: an AI model many times more powerful than anything we've ever seen. It's capable of producing three-dimensional worlds in an hour based on text prompts, can take Wikipedia articles and turn them into simulations, and can do things that would have required massive teams of engineers just a couple of months ago. I call it the Job Terminator. The reality is that jobs are disappearing because of artificial intelligence. AI progress isn't slowing down, it's speeding up, and there's no way to stop it. And now we have trillionaires, and the rest of us are going to get f\*\*\*\*\*. We need a revolution. We need something. We need to work together, because I have news for you: economic possibilities are disappearing, but the overlords and the oligarchs are becoming more powerful than ever. I promise you, China will be able to replicate Fable's abilities within the next couple of months. Their models will be many times cheaper, and they'll likely make it open source, meaning that within the next hundred days, everyone will likely have access to an extremely powerful and dangerous model that they can run very cheaply. In order to compensate, America will create more powerful models and be forced to publish them in order to have one up on China. Once again, China will do the same. Unfortunately, there's no out at this point. But as somebody who studied computer science, I can tell you these models are already eliminating millions of jobs. Ask anybody in India: lower tier developers and IT people have been completely wiped out by AI. I called it the Job Terminator. The reality is that we need guaranteed income now. We need universal health care in the United States, and ultimately we all need to prepare for a post-capitalist world and start taxing the billionaires, because Fable is a far more impactful model than people realize.
A user questions why widespread white-collar unemployment hasn't occurred despite frontier models like Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 benchmarks showing capability for most tasks, and seeks clarification on remaining bottlenecks and adoption realities.
A commentary piece speculates that Anthropic's Fable model may represent the ceiling of American AI progress, and that Chinese AI developers will soon outpace US frontier models due to faster iteration and distillation techniques.
The article outlines five workflows to extract intelligence from Fable 5, a frontier AI model, before it moves from subscription to pay-per-token credits, emphasizing capturing judgment and knowledge that cheaper models cannot replicate.
