both can be true:

-the US gov't is stupid and overly aggressive and absurd

-Anthropic for reasons no one can quite conceive keeps describing every product release of theirs as an imminent threat to civilization (and simultaneously keeps pushing the market forward as fast as they possibly can).

By the pigeonhole principle, "mostly A" and "mainly B" cannot both be true if A and B are not the same entity

They never said Mythos was an imminent threat to civilization. You are constructing a straw man.

		They said it was too dangerous to release before the companies that run internet for civilization could patch the holes it was finding. That's a threat to civilization.

		It's the party line so people forget the week it actually happened - anthropic said they would work with DoD/DoW but with two conditions: 1. Kill orders from ai decisions had to go through a human 2. The govt couldn't use their models for illegal surveillance of Americans Hegseth threw a fit, Trump called them traitors and a supply chain risk, openai said they wouldn't require those restrictions and got all the contracts. Both companies are corrupt and dangerously reckless and have doomsaying advertising (50% of jobs destroyed vs money won't have meaning anymore). One didnt kiss the ring correctly.

>no one can quite conceive

Isn’t it like their main goal is attention capture, and existential threat is extremely effective at capturing human attention? Combine that with the "There is no such thing as bad publicity" mindset, and this explain it all, doesn’t it?
