His entire "I Have No Moat And I Must Scream" essay rests on the assumption that our government will remain aligned with both his own company's interests and those of our democratic society as a whole... as if our government is even starting out from such a position. After his recent head-butting defeat by Hegseth's Department of War (sic), it's just downright surreal to read passages like this: Frontier AI models, like airplanes, should be required to go through technical testing and auditing, and their release should be blocked or reversed as a threat to public safety if they do not meet high standards of safety. I am grateful to see the Trump administration’s Executive Order move incrementally towards a greater role for government in AI, though Anthropic’s proposal recommends even further action. Either he's playing us all for fools, or he's playing himself. I suppose both could be true.
