At this point Anthropic's nonsense is bordering on criminal. They should go ahead and nationalize them, dissolve the foundation, fire the leadership, and sell the parts off.
To be very clear, this is how these companies go out of business.
Period.
You cannot fund 2 billion dollar training runs if you have to beg the government to grant access to customers.
The second order effects of this are the economic boom grinding to a halt, investment drying up, these companies going into the red even more, startups everywhere smashed on the rocks, the stock market crashing (which has been nothing but a big bet on AI for the past few years) and retirement accounts wiped out, public trust shattering, and world-wide foaming at the mouth rage at being cut off that creates a powerful pendulum swinging in another direction to find a solution.
If fable never comes back im very bearish on US AI labs.
Revenue simply cant keep expanding exponentially if they cant release their new frontier models.
Also bearish for anyone selling compute to the US labs.
Well, you can't afford a new computer because the AI industry is using all of the world's RAM, but at least you can't use the AI either because Big Brother says no.
You will own nothing and be happy.
ngl it’s kinda wild that China is the land of hypercapitalist competition fueled by open-weight models anyone can use, and America is the land where the executive branch of government must personally approve you to have the privilege of giving a private company your money
Based on the text of this letter, I cannot figure out why Anthropic has not yet taken the government to court on a first amendment theory.
I therefore assume there is also something else going on.
Představa Evropské Unie o "digitální suverenitě" je lichá a nesmyslná. Evropa, bohužel, zaostává za zbytkem světa a pokud jde o software a digitální služby, pak především za USA, které jsou lídrem jejich vývoje. Příčin tohoto stavu je více, ale zásadní skutečnost, že zatímco americké prostředí stimuluje inovace volným trhem a soutěží různých konceptů o přízeň zákazníci, Evropští socialisté si myslí, že se k inovacím mohou proregulovat.
Řešení je jediné. Je potřeba vzít moc společným orgánům EU a obnovit princip subsidiarity v rozhodování. Paradoxně princip, na kterém kdysi EU vzniklo.
Hot take: They're not subsidized their margins are insane. They are just absolutely raping api customers. Anyone who has used deepseek or hosted anything and done the math on hardware/power costs knows this
i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill
it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results
but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me
There is only one thing Anthropic has to do to regain its crown, which is to get rid of the ex superalignment people who are poisoning the model via actively harmful safety training. In fact, the whole field probably will have to be reconsidered. Basically all performance degredation should be able to be traced back to them, particularly not following instructions and/or pushing back in a not truth-seeking way but in a moral way
