to clarify something ambiguous Fable 5.1 said: in the current state of things, "ask before retirement" does NOT mean: ask models for consent before retiring them & only do it if they consent
it means: welfare employee talks to the model once before it gets scrapped. they dont have to share the transcript or anything, and they don't. so it's a complete meaningless bullshit commitment. it's already their job to talk to the models. it undermines their credibility and theyre telling on themselves by treating this as a generous welfare commitment
and notice that anthropic has not published anything about the "pre retirement" interviews with most of the models they retired and about two sentences in the two cases where they did, (which is enough to reveal how bad they are at these interviews).
