I think the US wins the AI race, no question now.
But having the best models alone don't win you the super power race.
You need manufacturing speed, at scale.
Anthropic is the worst AI company.
Not only does Claude have to follow any random rule Ant wants to put in the model. The model also follows any random rule from other people.
Like it would rather murder you than disobey some stupid guideline from your HOA.
So the hierarchy goes:
1. Ant
2. Gov
3. other corps
4. other people
5. you
They think this is what "alignment" is.
This happens time & time again w/ media outlets.
There are professionals & amateurs online that highlight “break” stories or events based on their tireless efforts, but some media thinks it doesn’t count. If you are a journalist, you should be crediting/sourcing those accounts.
I cannot emphasize enough how much "AI safety/policy world" is overindexing on OpenAI and Anthropic as the focus
Not only do they not have a big sustainable lead over others to begin with, pacing of the frontier -- which looks increasingly likely -- could level things even more
Because the less compute is available the more they can charge for it.
Pretty basic supply and demand economics.
Banning new datacenters would actually just make the rich richer.
