  Dario said not nice words about China and open models in general: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-20/anthropic-ceo-says-selling-advanced-ai-chips-to-china-is-crazy https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-20/anthropic...

    I think the least politically divisive issue within the US is concern about China’s growth as it directly threatens the US’s ability to set the world’s agenda. It may be politically divisive if you are aligned with Chinese interests but I don’t see anything politically divisive for a US audience. I expect Chinese CEOs speak in similar terms to a Chinese audience in terms of making sure they’re decoupled from the now unstable US political machine.

      "... for a US audience" And that's the rub. Many of us are not.

      Looking at the last year's US agenda I'm okay with that.

    I mean, there's no way it's about this right? Being critical of favorable actions towards a rival country shouldn't be divisive, and if it is, well, I don't think the problem is in the criticism. Also the link doesn't mention open source? From a google search, he doesn't seem to care much for it.

    From the perspective of competing against China in terms of AI the argument against open models makes sense to me. It’s a terrible problem to have really. Ideally we should all be able to work together in the sandbox towards a better tomorrow but thats not reality. I prefer to have more open models. On the other hand China closes up their open models once they start to show a competitive edge.

  They're supporters of the Trump administration's military, a view which is not universally lauded.
