I don't buy that anymore. The day America threatened to invade Canada and Denmark was the day America showed they cannot be trusted any more. It's not like China can be trusted either, but China isn't planning any direct invasions to the west. Taiwan, perhaps, but they're playing a long-term tactical game rather than a "invade the country we don't like this week" game. They might get some info on you, but the data br…

So one of the world's biggest and most rapid military build-ups in history that is largely intended to give China the ability to seize a democratic country by force by 2027 over any US/Western efforts to protect it is OK because...it's "a long-term tactical game"?

China has been "going after" Taiwan for 80 years, so yeah, they are playing the long game.

Wake me up when they start drone striking neighboring country's fishermen and accusing them of carrying drugs.

why is the commerce secretary making this decision

So no need to do any deep consideration or evaluation, just the approval of the Epstein class.

And it's Howard Lutnick... the guy who lived next door to Epstein and magically wasn't at work on 9/11.

It's a win-win game because both Anthropic and the Government are on the front page again pulling on important leavers.

In the mass-marketing world it's less about who's right or wrong but who is perceived by the population to be pulling the leavers on the front page again.

The single most important question to be discussed on this website right now.

Whatever happened to those network states? It's starting to look like it's them, UAE or Singapore

Well, the network states were supposed to be a social thing rather than a place, no? Free Cities movement is more focused on actual, physical places.

Technically the US government is allowing Anthropic to serve the models to any US citizen, and it's Anthropic who decided that's impossible to comply with and so they pulled the model for everyone. I guess a US business with non-citizen employees could work. A lawsuit would be a hard sell though, because Anthropic themselves argued that the technology is dangerous. Even if many people on HN might think that Anthropic…

Are you certain? Trump admin is hand-picking GPT 5.6 winners

The Government's position is that Anthropic/OpenAI are forbidden from allowing non-US citizens use the models. This is impossible in reality because how can Anthropic know that the person sitting behind a Claude code session or API key is at any given moment a US citizen? You can check their ID on signup but how can they know that they didn't give their credentials to someone else to use? They can't.

Given the impossibility of compliance, what Anthropic and OpenAI are doing is working with the government to release it to certain organizations with the government's blessing.

If this were about missiles and not AI models, nobody would question this turn of events. If the government said that nobody can export this missile or allow non-citizens access to the missile, and then they started giving permission for certain organizations to handle the missile, that would be normal, not picking winners.

The only reason people are questioning it in this case is because they believe that these models are not dangerous enough to deserve these kinds of export controls. Personally I'd agree that in my 3 days of using Fable I didn't observe any superpowers. Unfortunately however, Anthropic undermined that argument by claiming that Mythos is highly dangerous, which set them up for any jailbreak of Fable to be considered a national security risk. Who is a court going to believe? Someone who used a model for 3 days? Or the government and the people who made that model?

Throwaway account to leave a single comment minimizing the Chinese threat against Taiwan? Nah, nothing suspect about that.
