“Anthropic is trying to prevent catastrophic misuse, and some limits are necessary.”
No. Anthropic is trying to justify its trillion-dollar valuation by making software seem like the invention of fire or nuclear weapons. It’s a PR strategy and has been one since the beginning. Now it’s trying to slow the market because it’s got a big lead but no profits and no pricing power thanks to open-weights Chinese models.

No, it’s not. Too many people watched that movie and thought it was real. It wasn’t. What we call “AI” is not alive, not autonomous, and does not act in unanticipated ways. The people pushing this narrative are idiots, or think you are.

His story is actually going viral because it was posted on X, was critical of OpenAI and Anthropic, and Elon's algos are promoting the hell out of it.

They’re lying. They can’t do this. They’re trying to get the government to shut out competitors.
