Trump just found the worst way to regulate AI
@allinallnotbad Samuel Roland on x
This reveals an astonishingly ill-informed view about the industry if true (which makes me inclined to think this was fully two separate parts of government acting). The AI industry simply doesn't exist in the U.S. without foreign national talent. Banning them would destroy it.
@shashj Shashank Joshi on x
Is there an opportunity for Europe to lure away foreign talent or would most AI researchers prefer to work on near-frontier models in a compute rich environment over working unshackled in a more compute-constrained one?
@deredleritt3r Prinz on x
Financial Times, quoting a person close to OpenAI: “In recent days, the [AI] industry has been working [with the USG] on ensuring foreign national researchers could continue to work on developing the most advanced models, a practice that the Anthropic directive has now banned.” […

Top cybersecurity leaders urge US government to unban Mythos.
@austen Austen Allred on x
The thing about Anthropic warning about massive unemployment, comparing AI to nuclear weapons, and calling for regulation is *they truly believe it.* The issue is that they think they're going to be the ones who determine what will happen if that's all true. And they won't be.

Maybe the best analysis on the topic.

Ben Thompson nails it: history shows us that benevolent dictators usually lose their benevolence long before they give up the ability to dictate.

Ant has great models but you really can't ignore the signals they've been giving off. Open source and open weights have to succeed otherwise we will live in a world where one company can control access to intelligence. [image]

Y'know, considering how everyone with money and power is saying AI is the future, perhaps they should notice the federal gov't forcing a frontier model offline for reasons hovering between a tantrum and coded solicitation of a bribe ('speak our language,' etc). — www.axios.com/…

NEW @WIRED: Trump admin officials concluded talks today with Anthropic without lifting export controls on Claude Fable 5, and next steps are unclear — Admin continues to believe that there are ways to jailbreak Fable 5 and access the capabilities of Mythos — Anthropic continues

Update on Fable5/Anthropic: Anthropic flew its top security people to DC. The export controls are still there. Via Wired Anthropic and the Trump administration wrapped up talks on Monday with no resolution - the export controls on Claude Fable 5 are still in place. No end in [ima…

Trump officials won't allow G7 countries to access Anthropic's most advanced AI models: ‘Completely illogical’
@charliebull0ck Charlie Bullock on x
So, I've now read the “is informed” letter that Lutnick sent to Anthropic requiring them to shut down Fable access (PDF isn't public yet, but I imagine it will be soon. It's mostly a bunch of legalese; references to export control laws and regulations). Initial take: BIS's legal
