It's projection. These tech CEOs know what they are doing and it scares them that someone else might do the same.

Yeah. Exact same concerns here as a non-american. Their "national security" is a constant threat to the rest of us.

They're Americans trying to appeal to other Americans. Of course everything they do is justified and everything everyone else does is an evil scheme to plot the ruin of American freedoms. How else are you going to convince the dementia patients in charge of the country?

If China, India, the EU, and everyone else has any sense, they should take this letter to heart as much as Anthropic wants the American government to.

Absolutely agree. It wasn't Chinese open weight models that supported an attack on Venezuela because a Yankee pedophile didn't get the Nobel prize he wanted.

It was the same thing with TikTok, wasn't it?

It's bad for TikTok to be controlled by a Chinese company because Americans access it. The solution is to make it US-controlled. The rest of the world? Who cares.

same concerns? why? china is not a warmongering nation like the usa. 80% of people in their 30's own their own house. an ambulance doesn't cost an arm. etc

dǎdǎo imperialism, wànsuì the people's revolution!

Except it's 1,000x worse with the American models, because Trump might just decide that everyone in Europe get their access cut off, or gets a 5,000% tarriff. Or the companies just all agree to hike prices 10x one day. With open Chinese models, we can, in principle, run them ourselves.
