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 to block Chinese open-weight AI models as hypocritical self-serving FUD that contradicts their own safety claims while seeking regulatory control before an IPO.

@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

@GenXFatBastard They don’t have to take the data if it’s an open weight model

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

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.

@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 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.)
