The Bulwark Daily · Ben Wittes: Talk About America in Decline · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

But the mythos, whether it was worth panic or not, it was certainly worth attention.

And for those who have...

used the mythos model, which is called Fable in its commercialized form, in a complex project, it is awesome.

And I mean that in the sense of inspiring awe in the degree of its power.

And I have no doubt that it has significant security implications.

So what you would want in this situation is

is a serious group of people in the administration to interface with the serious group of people at Anthropic to mitigate that risk.

Unfortunately, that is not the government that we have.

I was in Kenya with sometime Bulwark contributor Holly Berkeley Fletcher, who was once a CIA Africa analyst and now takes groups of people to these unbelievable safaris in Kenya.

And I spent two weeks with baby elephants and giraffes and leopards and Holly Fletcher.

And it was lovely.

I gotta say, the baby elephants really stick with you.

They're pretty wonderful.

Seeing a leopard up a tree with its kill is a highlight, but it's not cute the way the baby elephant playing with a stick is cute.

You just kind of want to go like hang with them.

I mean, I went away while I was going away.

They hung the charp on in front of the Kennedy Center.

And I just want to say you do that in Lord Lazor's town and you're asking for it.

Great to see you, man.
