I wonder who gets to decide which companies make important and critical software and which ones get the scraps later.

No need to wonder.

The answer is, the organization making the powerful tool. The people in charge of Anthropic.

Not only that, but they've also written at length about exactly what their opinions and values are: https://darioamodei.com/

You may not agree with the decisions that they make, but they're hardly mysterious. Not something to wonder about.

That would be Anthropic.

Well, Anthropic thinks it should be the Trump administration [1].

This whole business just keeps getting dumber.

Read the actual essay. I cannot possibly imagine how you come to that conclusion unless you're just arguing in bad faith.

No. You read the actual essay, then explain how we're supposed to interpret this more charitably:

    Frontier AI models, like airplanes, should 
    be required to go through technical testing 
    and auditing, and their release should be 
    blocked or reversed as a threat to public 
    safety if they do not meet high standards 
    of safety. I am grateful to see the Trump 
    administration’s Executive Order move 
    incrementally towards a greater role for 
    government in AI, though Anthropic’s proposal 
    recommends even further action.

They are all-but-literally sucking up to the administration that declared their company a supply-chain risk, arguing that the same administration should be given gatekeeping authority over all high-quality LLMs including open-weight releases. Go gaslight somebody else.

This is a pretty reasonable statement and I'm not sure how you could interpret this as "sucking up to the admin."

It's a pretty reasonable statement if you work for Anthropic and are eyeing your stock options nervously and your competitors even more so.
