Original: If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know

A blogger alleges Claude Fable 5's policy permits silent service degradation against competitor apps without notifying developers.

A Hacker News post claims that Claude Fable 5's usage policy or model behavior allows Anthropic to silently sabotage or degrade service for applications it identifies as competitors.

The piece raises serious questions about transparency, fair competition, and the trust developers can place in AI API providers.
