They should fly staff to EU instead

As I understand it, ITAR regulations for export controls have just been applied to any form of Mythos. These are overseen by U.S. Departments of State and Commerce, and forbid foreign nationals from access to any form of Mythos, either within or outside the U.S. Only U.S. citizens and immigrants that are holders of a "green card" may now access Mythos. It appears that Anthropic does not have internal controls to impl…

So Anthropic can't even move to Europe now since that would be considered a crime against national security?

Like trying to move a missile industry from USA to EU.

Individuals can leave, but the company cannot transfer restricted intellectual property.

Europe has extradition treaties, so the U.S. can force anyone in Europe back to the U.S. for criminal indictment who demonstrates inappropriate possession of this technology.

Anthropic: "Our new models are so mighty and dangerous, we'll limit access."

US admin: "Thanks for the warning, we'll do the same then"

This was an epic (and deserved) own-goal.

> Only U.S. citizens and immigrants that are holders of a "green card" may now access Mythos.

It was my understanding that not even green card holders may access Mythos. Normally when restrictions like this are put in place, you need a exemption as a green card holder. A geen card is just a permit to live and work in the US. Its not the same as citizenship.

> Security Clearance: Green Card holders are generally prohibited from jobs that require high-level security clearances or sensitive government/military roles reserved exclusively for U.S. citizens.

After seeing headlines about the ufc fight on the White House lawn and seeing headlines about how Japanese World Cup fans clean up trash after the match I had an image of programmers doing lawn care at the White House...

That was seriously what I thought the headline is about. Anthropic flying in their employees to clean up the trash after Trumps birthday party for free to demonstrate their obedience with a good show of licking the Dear Leader's boots. Extremely silly of course, but entirely in line with all the other news currently coming out of the US ;)

Simply move the training datasets and recreate it in the EU.

However, I think the US would treat this as treason (like they wouldn't want nuclear scientist to work for other nations).
