Give me an example of one such regulation.
- fc417fc802 10mo agoAre you sure you're participating in good faith? I'll go ahead and indulge you for the benefit of the audience though. The generic term is predatory pricing and it's regulated to some extent in pretty much every country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing#Legal_aspects_amongst_different_countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing#Legal_aspect... When carried out at the international level it's known as dumping. The WTO has provisions against it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)#Legal_issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)#Legal...
- keeda 10mo agoAs the Wikipedia page calls out, predatory pricing is generally in the context of a dominant firm throwing their weight around to dominate the market. You could make this case against large incumbents like Microsoft and Google, but Anthropic is actually the upstart here. In any case, all this depends on how you define the "market", and the entire market for AI-assisted coding is very nascent and fast-moving to make any reliable calls about dominance at this point.
- fc417fc802 10mo agoThat's the context where it tends to get regulated. Indeed it doesn't apply to Anthropic. Neither is Anthropic a party to the WTO. I was asked for examples of behavior that distorts the market being regulated and provided two of them. There are other examples out there as well.
- vovavili 10mo agoI fail to see how standard business practices Anthropic is engaging are predatory. If anything, the customer is clearly at an advantage here.
