Anthropic's own marketing and urban legends spawned by them is to blame too. They built up too much BS around mythos and project glasswing

Marketing is never ever to blame. Remember a few months ago when the U.S. government labelled them a supply chain risk? What eventually happened was that a federal judge issued a temporary injunction while calling it a "classic First Amendment retaliation." The Constitution protects such marketing; the government is not allowed to be maddened by such marketing.

  • They certainly can restrict technology that is deemed to be a national security risk.

    • Not much stops them from saying it's due to national security, when it's actually due to the guy in the chair having a fit of emotions. And the current admin has a very long streak of declaring things as national emergencies when those things just so happen to be something they recently lost face on.

  • The government can not be mad, it’s an organization. People in the government are “allowed” to feel however they’d like; their actions are restricted. And the point being made above is that the government might’ve believed their marketing and acted accordingly.
