> Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models.
> All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.
Yeah, just like voting eligibility tests aren't not to prevent people you dislike from voting! /s

tl;dr: we only want the USA to dominate because we think their military would never abuse AI (disproven a few months ago)

TL;DR - We don't care about most open models. They are weak, and we don't care how they're used.
We care about specifically Chinese models, because China distills our models. And that's real competition. So we want to ban those.
PS. Oh yeah, in case any open non-Chinese model will one day be good enough to compete with us, we will want to ban you as well, just FYI.
Kthxbye.
TL;DR:
It is ok that we digest all information we can get, (il)legally and/or (a)morally because we are the good guys. Trust me bro.
It is not ok if others digest from us. They are bad guys. Ban them pl0x.

Get the fuck out. The amount of self-entitlement and hypocrisy in the article is insane, vomit inducing.
despite all evidence, this white guy thinks he is more responsible than both chinese entrepreneurs and chinese authorities
hahha
Most hated company in record time, this Dario is insufferable.
This is a whole lot of words to say "we don't support open weight models".
It's so obvious they are hoping to regulate out their competition rather than compete
China is simply undercutting again, by copying and subsidising, to ensure another industry in the west fails.
Just like batteries, the automotive industry and in fact most machining.
We really ought to boycott Chinese products from stolen tech and patents from entering our markets
Guy that stole the whole internet is now concerned about other models learning from his grand theft? Make that make sense.
"'To summarize my and Anthropic’s position, we have not and are not advocating for a ban on open-weights models as a category. We should instead focus on keeping powerful chips out of authoritarian hands, stopping industrial-scale distillation, and requiring safety testing of all sufficiently capable models, open and closed." This is all I needed to know: Dario Amodei is a f*king lizard who wants to create the next AI oligarchy. Instead of just signing the letter, he's bitching and denying that he opposes open-source models. I wonder if any Anthropic employees actually disagree with him.
What is even the point of discussing any of this? It's clear the US will be ruled by corporations who don't give a shit about us.
This reads like a child who lost and now wants his mommy and daddy to punish the kid who beat him. To quote rounders, "He beat (you)... Straight up... Pay him... Pay that man his money."
