"We should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment to China,"
Why? Has Anthropic, or the country it is based in formally declared war against China?

#893Schrödinger's China at once is an evil entity looking to use AI for their own nefarious purposes yet also willing to cooperate with their main competitor to prevent other actors (who??) from achieving similar goals (all while under a chip embargo too!!) The reality is much less confusing: Anthropic CEO does not wish for models with similar (or greater) capabilities compared to his own closed and overpriced ones to be…
> Schrödinger's China at once is an evil entity looking to use AI for their own nefarious purposes yet also willing to cooperate with their main competitor to prevent other actors (who??) from achieving similar goals (all while under a chip embargo too!!) To be fair, I found that part consistent. There is limited cooperation between enemy states all the time, e.g. see the grain deal between Ukraine and Russia before…
Of course what is Schrödinger's China is the idea that an otherwise adversarial China would simply accept some international ruleset decreed by the US and enforce it on their own territory, without demanding anything in return.
E.g. they might say something like "We absolutely agree that international regulation of AI is needed and we're willing to co-sponser an initiative with the US. One of the most pressing matters we see is the spread of despicable misinformation through unregulated models regarding certain events in China's history, the treatment of certain minorities or the status of certain provinces..."

#895After this level of bullshit I won't ever spend a second any other new/blog from anthropic

#896Hypocrite to the max.
All of them have contracts for """defense""" and suddenly it is worry some that others are allowed to do the same.
They all support chasing people because of their origin without following the required legal steps.
It is just a matter of time until they come for you and your opinion

Despite all the accusations, only the accusing has a history of expansionism...

Re: Our position on open-weights models
#899It is like Microsoft publishes a manifesto "Our position on open-source operating systems" in 2026:
- Over the /last few days/ there has been a lot of discussion about open-source systems, especially those that are not made in US. (implying that these discussions appeared just now)
- Reports suggest that /some US officials/ are considering banning the use of these open-source systems by US companies. (implying somebody other than their corrupted representatives support this ban)
And then switching to a complete gaslighting regarding manufacturing capabilities of US vs China, about "open-source can not be trusted", about "GPT-2 is too dangerous to release"

#900I can't remember the last time (if ever) a company managed to go from golden goose to.. whatever this is.. so quickly. The permanent defensiveness in his presentation is really hard to swallow, it actively puts me off wanting to believe in or rely on their product line with Dario at the helm. I don't even understand the logic leading up to this post. Who was it even hoping to convince. Is it possible Anthropic is due…
I think they are trying to please a split group of investors and public, of their major investors Google and Nvidia have signed the open source petition letter and Amazon hasn't, so their non position is trying to please every who has taken a clearer stance, although it's quite bad.
Amazon did sign it though...
