#584I think we should see this as simply silly behavior by a government. Export control is not an effective tool for controlling a consumer facing technology developers everywhere want to use (see:VPNs) so there was no good faith policy justification for imposing an export control. This is an administration that seems to be keeping track of who its friends are and aren't, and likes to be the center of every story. They a…

#586IANAL. Can any lawyers comment on whether Anthropic can sue, and if so the likelihood they would win?

#589I see why the EU is moving to all of their own tech.

#590Nice drama, LOL!! I still remember ChatGPT is very dangerous to be released a long time back. World is fine now!!
Ooh Mythos - I am so scared. Nobody gives two shits about one model or the other. They are hoist by their own petard.
