Meaning what? The poor gets to sleep in the guest room of the rich guy's house because muh inequality?

Anthropic paid a lot of money for a moat and want to guard it. It is not wrong, in any sense of the word, for them to do so.

Rich people aren't going to find themselves needing to sleep under a bridge, so the law really only exists as a constraint on the poor. Duh. The flex that "well a rich guy couldn't do it either" is A) at best a myopic misunderstanding perpetuated by out of touch people and B) hopelessly naive, because anny punishment for the rich guy actually sleeping under a bridge is so laughably small it may as well not even exist. Hence, the whole bit of "a legal system to keep these accountable, but not for me".
