I agree with this

I do no like David Sacks but how do you say this is gloating about it?

Again, I do believe this is political, but Sacks is saying "you said this is dangerous and wanted regulation, and we believe you. Fix this because it's dangerous and we'll let it out again".

How is this gloating?

he is emphasizing that they used their own words against them. everyone knows the security threat is a pretext. the message is that he is smart and they are stupid and he won, which is what I call gloating.

> "Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong."

an obvious lie, which is inserted to emphasize that it is a lie. when you purposefully lie, not to deceive, but with the intent that the counter-party knows you are lying and must accept the lie, that is an assertion of power.

"everyone knows the security threat is a pretext." On what planet? Anthropic itself made a big stink about Mythos being able to hack every app out there, and very dangerous as a result. Many reports have confirmed this.

He is reinforcing his point by referencing Anthropic’s statements.

Virtually every debater is gloating by that measure.

In this case, the govt used Anthropic's word in the way Anthropic wanted them to.

Anthropic has publicly stated that AI is too powerful and needs to be regulated. They've done this repeatedly. More recently, they've withheld releasing Mythos claiming that it's not safe.

Sacks isn't using Anthropic's words against them. He's more or less doing what they asked!

Sacks works for the government now. Everything is political. This happening on the day SpaceX IPO’d? It’s a flex, and a message.

what's the flex? what's the message? how does it relate to the IPO?

Isn't Grok part of the IPO?

It is gloating in the context of it being the exact same form of dangerous as all the other frontier models out there?
