I can't grok this comment. Are you pro or anti-cartel?

  very much anti cartel Any company using a huge $$ war chest to shower themselves in regulation, is likely trying to usurp market powers from the public -via congressional bribes- to themselves.

      Anthropic officially funds lobbyists in excess than other huge companies like Microsoft or Amazon. Its latest $20M outlay [1] alone is more that the spend of either company. Their lobbying spend combined is now on par with companies like META, which have tons of regulatory battle fronts (unlike Anthropic) [1] https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2026/02/20/ais-biggest-builders-openai-anthropic-among-biggest-government-lobbyists/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2026/02/20/ais-bigges...
