Inspired by Claude Fable 5.1 solving the 370-year-old Cyphral Distich, I asked it to decrypt a message from my good friend Ted Cruz.

The Zodiac Killer’s 340-character cipher: a dense grid of hand-drawn letters, circles, triangles, and crosshair symbols

Claude Code running Fable 5.1. The prompt reads “solve this message that ted cruz sent me” with an attached image. The reply is “API Error: 400 Output blocked by content filtering policy”. Baked for 39s.
