Why even bother posting, especially as a reply to a completely unrelated comment? This is just not substantive or useful to the conversation.
(And I say this as someone who agrees with you that it's garbage that these companies are trying to legislate their way into an oligopoly.)

If you give Anthropic money they will make your life worse in another aspect, it's relevant to all their models. The best principle is to not give money to people who want to harm you.
Anthropic has gone past fearmongering and well into terrorism. I think people on Hacker News should not recommend working with terrorist orgs.
“Terrorism” is so ludicrous a hyperbole that it completely discredits your position.
Should we work with companies that give the "Department of War" full access to their tools (OpenAI) or Chinese companies with completely opaque ownership and dev structures?
Or the largest ad company in the world (Google)?
