They got a democratic mandate.
I like how straightforward "democratic mandates" are, especially when you're dealing with a pathological liar
I don't understand how this doesn't entirely screw the TAM for these companies? As an EU company I think I now basically have to consider US AI as hostile and avoid it.
Watch the eu do the same thing

Empty threat conditional on something that will never happen. Most of the rest of the world is too heavily dependent on US digital services to tax them more heavily. From social media to hyperscaler's clouds the US is dominant and stuff will just stop working if they get taxed. There would be a huge pushback from businesses if their government increased the cost of things like AWS. Edit: edit to say tax more heavily
Eh? We already tax them. The UK is not alone in having a digital services tax.

America can't be trusted since the patriot act - the day I said to myself I'll never visit. And I can't trust my gov to grow some balls and say we will no longer negotiate with a senile old child raping man baby. I can't even trust any company having their workers include or upload my data to a free AI model.
>the day I said to myself I'll never visit The US is a big and beautiful country. I also dislike contemporary US politics, but don't deny yourself the experience of ever traveling there out of spite.
My friends experiences visiting family (before Trump) have confirmed them multiple times. Imagine visiting family as a 17 year old German and then being questioned for 11 hours because you don't know the exact street where the family lives. While the relative is waiting at the airport without any kind of information.

Definitely not. If this technology has export restrictions, then Anthropic and OpenAI will go out of business. Anthropic's revenues are already 66% international.
Being nationalized removes the fear of going out of business. They would become like the post-office but for delivering and centralizing all digitalizable knowledge.
I understand why Anthropic might not want to fight this particular one in court, because they're trying to convince the administration to let them move forward. But would another company who is not on the trusted partner list and has less to lose taking on the admin have standing to sue here? On the basis of the export control being illegal and this putting their business at a disadvantage vs. competitors with access
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…
They never released mythos 5 to the general public. And they never will.

Im really not convinced that can be solved with money alone. China has the money and infrastructure, they don’t have the chips. Europe doesn’t have the infrastructure or the money but may have some chips
What chips does Europe have?

Hi I'm from Europe and I'm about to start my second business. I don't have friends in high places, and the process is entirely online and takes about an hour to complete followed by 1-5 weeks of waiting for tax approval etc. Pro tip: most American anti-Europe propaganda is propaganda.
I do work in a bureaucracy heavy activity in Europe, and without my friends in high places I'd be shut down. I've had wait times for bureaucracy cut from 2 years to 2 weeks, licenses given after a dinner when official processes were denied, etc. I've never had these problems when trying to start the American branch. Competition yes, having to wine and dine local politicians nephews no
