A “manufactured event” allegation about AI licensing and Anthropic

In a September 13 post, a user claims Sanders introduced a bill on September 3, 2026, that would create a cabinet-level federal AI licensing agency and impose 20-year prison penalties on open-source developers. The user links that claim to an alleged September 8 resignation by an Anthropic “AI whistleblower,” calling the sequence a “manufactured event.” They also claim The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive 18 minutes before the person’s own tweet.
