Amazon owns 5% of Anthropic. I doubt this is the outcome they wanted.
This is the government trying to swing its dick around and kill Anthropic because they wouldn't allow mass domestic surveillance with their models.
They're sending a message to the tech industry as well: "do as we say, or die."
This is the result of decades of Congress abdicating power to the executive.
- PeterStuer 5mo agoAmazon has up to 33 billion in Antrophic, but up to 50 billion in OpenAI. They need keep both of them in balance, to mitigate the threat of being disintermediated.
- rocketpastsix 5mo agoAmazon isn't just going to sit by while $33 billion is set on fire.

- stefan_ 5mo agoIt's one thing to have 5%, it's another for Jassys utter failure in Amazon AI efforts. They are nowhere, and the former isn't gonna save the latter job.
