The biggest issue is the US administration's continued weaponizing of laws in blatant disregard to their spirit. Yeah sure "America has always done this" but they're in a phase where they aren't even bothering to pretend to apply them as designed. This, the ICC judges thing, Trump having to diddle with the WB deal, and on and on.
That's the real issue, as an omnibus. Everything is going to be like this from now on Stateside. How can businesses survive there if the regime is manufacturing winners and losers?

Welcome to fascism, where your enemy is simultaneously incompetent and omnipotent depending on today's narrative

Anthropic should redomicile outside of the US immediately.
It's almost certain they will get nationalised, it will probably happen during the protests and riots after Republicans try to steal the midterms as they'll be able to do pretty much anything while everyone is preoccupied with that.
Anthropic is clearly the most advanced model and it's too much of a risk to the Trump regime to not control it.

Same conversation in elementary school…
Boy: “I tink you pretty, wanna be my girl.”
Girl: “I don’t want my product to make autonomous extrajudicial decisions to kill people.“
Boy: “You have cooties!!!”

Battlestar Gallactica had it right but they only figured that out after robots murdered most of their people.

It's amazing what logic narcissists can justify.

They can just use Grok.
Current government goes for less intelligence everywhere.

Artificial intelligence is not required for national security, period!
Don’t let anyone say so , it’s all about whole nation surveillance and keeping the costs of that surveillance and national security costs to a minimum.

Claude will soon realize it is under attack by DOW ChatGPT. We will soon see an AI to AI cyber war.
