Anthropic wants to control who gets access to their models and what they're allowed to do with them, but also wants the US government to block Chinese labs from developing open weight models.

Sorry, but fuck that.

Many users criticized Anthropic's push for US restrictions on Chinese open-weight models as hypocritical FUD aimed at market control rather than genuine safety concerns.

@ZackKorman @SanthProject I love how they keep insisting open weight models don't matter and yet you see how threatened they are through their behavior

It is important to remember that (almost) every major push for market control needs to have some sort of boogeyman. "Chinese Open Models" is the one that Anthropic and their political arm are choosing here. In the past it has been Copyright and Intellectual Property (SOPA, PIPA, CISPA)... It is how companies can get .... cough "idiots" in government to make suggestions for incredibly stupid and harmful laws. Just look at all of the "protect the kids" Digital ID/Social Media Ban proposals out there.. FUD/FOMO moves mountains when applied to the right group of morons.

@NoemiTitarenco @SanthProject Oh they’ve written a few places about how dangerous open weight is

@epstein_stylist Consistent with their goals, yes. Not with goals the rest of us should have

@DecryptedTech Yea absolutely. It’s natural, even from people who genuinely believe their own bullshit, but the rest of us should be very skeptical of it all

@ZackKorman Sounds like two consistent actions

@ZackKorman Seems like the obvious answer that we're on the path towards is oligopoly. Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and maybe Meta or Microsoft will be chosen. Government already does this in many sectors (utilities, telecom, defense, intelligence, etc.)

@RobTerrin Fortunately if China just keeps dropping open weight models we can all use those instead

@epstein_stylist “We should let a private company dictate who gets access and how but use the government to ensure no one else makes a different decision than that company” is definitely a take. Just not one most will agree with

@ZackKorman Disagree, AI is too disruptive to be careless. Ideally the government should regulate which capabilities to release but it's too slow as of now

@ZackKorman @infosec_fox @offsec97 I need to learn the finer art of acquiring the quiet check.
