Anthropic cutting off the Pentagon is saying in no uncertain terms that they support allowing the PRC access to frontier military technology but not the US.

Trump gave China a bunch of Blackwell chips and accelerated their frontier AI deployment in exchange for a big payout to his crypto firm from the UAE, an act which would be considered straightforward high treason if we were in normal times with a functioning government.

There is exactly one party in this debate trying to help the PRC get advanced military tech, and it’s not Anthropic.

Incredibly dumb take considering Dario Amodei has been extremely hawkish on China and especially about selling them chips that may allow them to catch up to the US level of capabilities...

    The Chinese models are 3, maybe 6 months behind Anthropic, they’re not that special.

      Now that they cut them off from distillation attacks I find that dubious. In any case its not relevant to what you said:

      >Anthropic cutting off the Pentagon is saying in no uncertain terms that they support allowing the PRC access to frontier military technology but not the US.

      So by ignoring your own argument I take it you don't support this easily debunked claim.
