Anthropic argued the flagged vulnerabilities were narrow, not systemic.
FT confirms: "Anthropic was given 90 minutes to comply and was not provided with detailed concerns before the order was issued, according to a person close to the company."
These White House officials are marks.
"White House officials — who had heard Amodei liken the dangers of Anthropic’s technology to a nuclear bomb — were baffled"
Users criticized the White House ultimatum to Anthropic over AI risks as a punitive overreaction by the administration, with some viewing the resulting drama as a reason to avoid investing and hoping it tanks the IPO.
@firstadopter So you just massively overreacted and blamed Anthropic for something when you know this admin is 100% punitive to them for not bending the knee
@futureman1977 @firstadopter Maybe I'm just out of touch but *nothing* about this drama makes me want to invest in anthropic.
The investors were already foamimg at the mouth to invest in AI. All this drama does is turn a world changing profit opportunity into the equivellent of a nuclear power stock.
@firstadopter relentless IPO pump
@firstadopter Government laws do not have a "detailed explanation carveout" or a "you can take your time carveout". Congress was very explicit when they drafted the AECA.
@firstadopter Why does Nvidia need to raise 20 billion lol
@rakmasterg @firstadopter 💯
@RedBedDread @firstadopter my hope is the anthropic campaign of fear leads to their demise, and causes their IPO to tank.
@firstadopter If I were sleeping, and I got a text saying the WH wanted to talk to me urgently, I would wake up out of my sleep to take the call. It could be a national emergency.
@firstadopter A person close to the company? So we can't even confirm it. And let's say it's true, it's the White House. How many of you wouldn't answer a call from the WH regardless of whatever you were doing?
