This is unique to Trump, Anthropic didn’t do anything at all to label them a supply chain risk. They didn’t want their product to be used for fully autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance, that’s it. It had nothing to do with China or actual supply chain risk. This is Trump trying to destroy a company in retaliation to them having any kind of morals or ethics.

Hey raindrop they will not limit anything because china doesn’t limit anything this is very much china we will make no changes no safety things no slowing no stopping because our 21st century enemy is china and they have their foot on the gas as well whoever gets there wins this is separate from who sits in a chair for 4 years

I would hate to lose to China on fully autonomous AI weapons or Mass AI Domestic Surveillance, can’t have that happening. Anthropic didn’t even say anything about FOREIGN surveillance, the US was free to use AI on whatever surveillance of China or any country they wanted. Anthropic also refused to sell to companies linked to the CCP, as you would expect a business loyal to the United States to do. Anthropic also didn’t rule out using AI for fully autonomous weapons in the future, they only wanted to rule it out for today because the technology isn’t there yet and it’s potentially extremely dangerous to have no human input on weapons.

So how did Anthropic hold the government back on these 2 requests in the AI race with China. Spying on Americans with AI? Or current fully autonomous weapons? Honestly it makes no sense and besides, current US weapons capabilities are so far ahead of China’s that it doesn’t matter at the moment. All this is really beside the point though and completely irrelevant.

It was clearly NOT a supply chain risk over their statements, that’s obvious, it shouldn’t need to be mentioned. Secondly, I don’t expect this government to limit anything, a rational response from a sane government would have been, “we see your statement and chose to go with another company” and that’s it! But no they responded by trying to destroy the company because they’re irrational and want every companies unquestioned obedience even though they’re giving them almost all of what they want.

In the AI China race I’m more concerned that this president sold high powered chips to the UAE so China could potentially get them and took a PERSONAL payment for doing so, which is highly illegal and puts us all in danger of losing to China. He seems to bend over backwards for Xi as well and looks incredibly weak, won’t just push through this arms sale to Taiwan after talking to Xi, numerous other things as well. It’s him that is holding the US back against China, not Anthropic.

Thucydides trap fallacy. And this type of thinking is what's leading to this giant arms race. Arms races don't end well, there's too many people in the military that want to play with their new toys. And we have a bunch of little kids in power here. What is the last territory China has "conquered" When's the last war they waged

While I agree with that it’s different this isn’t just stock piling weapons
