Maybe Fable is not as capable as thought?

On the one hand they talk it up as world ending and on the other hand they can't manage bot accounts on their own service.

I want to hear how this can be rationalised.

From the article "every layer of control frontier US AI companies have added (geoblocking, phone verification, credit card requirements, and now live biometric KYC checks) has produced a corresponding layer of evasion infrastructure".

This only shuts down the account you have bought in the first, plus a few others if it is shared.

How does that work? I think this is the most important part to have an impact on the „thousand“ bot accounts.

That’s a much better way to investigate this than what some other posters here are suggesting, like blocking datacenters, because then you’re going to break a million developers using Claude Code on devboxes.

They could be doing this internally and want to see if they can downright eliminate these loopholes before bringing Fable back.

I don't care how they do it, I just want to use Fable again.

This, just like blanking out a football stream for a split second to binary search and find IPTV rebroadcasters, is far too good a solution. Suits prefer to make it seem like their job of fighting "misuse" is hard, justify their budget, continued existence of the trust & safety department, face scans, etc.
