No. The "good guys" are the ones who provide permanent value: open weight models, hardware we can afford, purchase and own. The good guys offer sovereignty.
The "you'll buy intelligence from us on a meter" rent seekers are technofeudalists. Just a bunch of "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" oligarchs who must be resisted at all costs. Anthropic had a reputation for ethics at first but it quickly became clear it was just like OpenAI but with a patronizing attitude.
The fact China is releasing open weight models will never not be amusing. I expected better from the USA.
They didn't become the good guy, Anthropic became the bad guy instead. The good guys are the chinese firms releasing open weight models.
There's no good guys, just entities you might be able to get marginal value from, who in turn want to get marginal value from you

Eh... I'd say DeepSeek and maybe one more of the small labs. Chinese Big Tech is even worse than US Big Tech.
Whichever firm is distilling the frontier models and releasing the weights is doing god's work. I'll forever thank them for that.

Yeah this is wild stuff. Seeing Anthropic free fall after building up such good will is shocking.
Personally, I think it is manufactured outrage by those with an agenda.
Free fall? None of this recent Mythos / Fable drama is going to even slow Anthropic down.
The HN bubble strikes again.
