This framing suggests that this is the sum of their business strategy, and strongly implies that it's being pursued cynically.
The risks posed by open access to highly capable AI are unprecedented.
The answer is not to ban open models; nor is it do nothing.
That we don't have answers technical political social or otherwise to how to navigate these risks, is not Anthropic's fault.
It's actively unhelpful IMO to amplify cynical takes which wave off or sideline the risk, or the reality that this is a very hard problem, among the hardest our societies have had to negotiate and navigate. It encourages a naive primary color tribalism that actively prevents process and progress.
It's depressing how poorly most internet spaces promote sincere dialogue. There are so many cynical hot takes that don't seem to accomplish much beyond scoring social points.
