Our AI czar, David Sacks, whined and moaned about the idea of regulation, even said Anthropic begging for some guidance was asking for “regulatory capture” and was gloating about how right he was they wanted it, 2 weeks ago.

I wonder if he understands why, now.

> Anthropic begging for some guidance

Anthropic was "begging" to make it harder for competing companies to be founded.

They got the "leopards ate my face" ending.

No, it’s not leopards ate my face / irony / comeuppance, because that would involve regulation.

I understand it’s very satisfying if you wanted Anthropic “punished” for asking for real regulation to see this. I can’t deny there was a little bit of me at first that felt that way.

It’s untenable, a first order reaction, that I regret intellectually, because if you were against regulation, you’re certainly against waves whatever this is.

I don't want anyone being punished. I want everyone to stop acting stupid.

I would've much preferred if Dario hadn't run his mouth so much.

You actually think that would’ve changed things? I don’t. We’d still be here.

Your position is “he made it happen by saying he didn’t want it to happen” with maybe a side order of “when he knows Mr. Trump doesn’t like him”

I posit that these ideas are common, and come from a place of Mr. Trump is more or less a normal president because they all do bad stuff, and regulation is Creating Monopilies. To wit, there’s 0 reason to believe the person you originally replied to’s claim that Anthropic wanted to kill startups. It’s just a random implication of what bad regulation can do.

		He made it happen by continuously using doomsday marketing to pump up model capabilities. This is the comeuppance. There is a huge contingent of people who do not interact with AI on a daily basis. Many of them legitimately believe we're seconds away from wiping away white collar America. Many more believe that we are creating the literal singularity. None of them have seen claude try to model a problem they're familiar with.
