Anthropic literally asked for it.

They begged publicly, multiple times to be regulated. This is before even mentioning the gross exaggeration of their model's dangerous capabilities.

I don't think that exculpates the Trump administration for its arbitrary and capricious use of export controls, an ill-suited legal mechanism, without reasonable process or justification - thereby forcing Anthropic to scramble.

Who cares, that doesn't have anything to do with the way Anthropic behaves. Not everything needs to be turned into something about Trump.

Perhaps if the Trump administration had left Anthropic and OpenAI alone, it wouldn't have turned into something about Trump.
