> Technically the US government is allowing Anthropic to serve the models to any US citizen, and it's Anthropic who decided that's impossible to comply with

It is technically impossible. Many of the researchers working on the models aren't US citizens. That's not just within Anthropic. It'd make things 100% worse.

Lockheed Martin is able to restrict access of their product details to only us citizens.

It's not impossible, it's just hard.

The US government has stated that the US is very behind in manufacturing of military equipment vs e.g. China (in terms of scale and speed).

So if your example is gimp it then sure it's possible.

Not every government law is wise or good. But it's still the law.

For just this reason, dialing back ITAR export restrictions has been on the agenda for nearly a decade.

It hasn't yet happened. And, as things stand right now, nobody in their right mind wants to work in a business beholden to ITAR. Strong export controls will kill American AI.

There are tens of thousands of defense contractors that not only work with export-controlled stuff, but even top-secret and other higher levels.

Getting just a secret clearance takes up to a year, and expecting to do this for all employees, in this AI market? Not going to happen, things move way too fast.

People complain about the US approach, but almost every high end manufacturing is being export controlled, from ASML machines to high end optic used in missiles.
