This is awful. That a disagreement tjat involves politics can make a company ruined is really awful. The civil society should be quite concerned about this kind of attacks.

If civil society is not concerned by the tribute-based Board of Peace that gladly invited Putin, an attack on another country without authorization by Congress, a threat to seize the land of an ally, and the killing of its own citizens by the ICE militia, then an unjustified supply-chain risk label won't cut it.

Shame you didn’t donate $25 million to Trump, like the company we decided to give the contract to instead did, who will benefit tremendously from you being designated a supply chain risk. Maybe next time you’ll be a little smarter.

Have they even given a bar of gold once?

The only way you convince Republicans it’s awful is by reminding Republicans power can be abused in both directions.

The democrats don't tend to abuse power back. The SCOTUS ruled presidents have immunity for prosecution for official acts, while Biden was president. He did nothing with the power.

I legitimately wish the Democrats were half as radical as Republican propaganda makes them out to be, then at least we might get something out of it before the inevitable right-wing purge.

Anthropic can now no longer buy new hardware and probably will be kicked out of all cloud compute. They can not also move to a different jurisdiction as exporting model weights is now considered same as exporting ICBM technology. Wow, companies in China are now more free than Anthropic. It's a death sentence, and a huge win for OpenAI.

Why not? If you have been designated a supply chain risk you may as well become one. They should move everything overseas

For what it's worth govts should have the final say over companies they do business with anyone saying it's illegal is insane.

Now the separate question is of collusion or bribery. Which might be illegal but Anthropic has to go to court for that..

And in US bribery aka lobbying is legal as well so honestly. Anthropic is just slow on the uptake.

No pun intended, but get in bed with snakes and you should be happy if you survive getting bitten.

US rich tech folks like Dario only get a spine when there is money on the line. Where was he when US govt was doing awful illegal stuff against non tech companies and other americans... All of this is practically just theater at this point.

That's certainly an opinion, but in the US it's not how it works. Doing business with the government does not give the government total power over the company, that would be absurd.
