In a world of security through general incompetence, competence is a threat.

> Anthropic and Google have both accused China-based rivals including DeepSeek of using “distillation attacks” to train their models by siphoning knowledge from American companies’ AI.

“distillation attacks” is definitely an interesting way to phrase that.

Don't people get it by now?

This administration will do or say something crazy to a private company, then this private company sends an envoy to the White House to negotiate, then the White House asks for 10% of the company or other concessions.

The White House wants 10% of Anthropic.

This is just a negotiation tactic that Trump keeps on using.

More likely, they didn't freak out at all.

It was an excuse to fuck with them, just like the "supply chain risk" finding a few months back.

Reminds me of how CCP manages Chinese internet companies.

I won’t be surprised if USG ends up owning 5-50% of ant and oai.

Like it or not, communism , or a flavor of it, is where we are heading towards.

i asked claude something about what happens at execution time of a binary and the thinking prompts flashed "considering the moral implications of ...something..." before giving me a correct (and predictably mundane) answer

I think this is just yet another act in theater around Anthropic IPO.

I doubt Anthropic has enough computing resources, to satisfy demand for Fable. More so with long 1M context many users take full advantage off. On other side they needed to make Fable public, in "trial version" so people could independently experiment and verify it.

I think this ban is the best outcome for Anthropic. It means they want bleed out cash and compute, gave them cheap publicity, and allowed users to try it! Actual paying customers will still get full access!

Why isn’t codex banned? Will the ban be miraculously lifted once OpenAI releases their mythos-level model?

The executive is holding American business in a Putin-style prisoner dilemma.

Kids playing with their toys without understanding it, sigh. Of course open source code needs to have testcases to verify nothing else breaks it in the future. That's a feature, not a bug
