> “I have determined that appropriate safeguards are in place to permit certain trusted partners to access the Claude Mythos 5 Model,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wrote to Anthropic’s chief compute officer Tom Brown Friday
why is the commerce secretary making this decision

- kurthr 4mo agoSo no need to do any deep consideration or evaluation, just the approval of the Epstein class.
- nickpeterson 4mo agoYou're completely wrong here, they make sure the check clears.
- jchook 4mo agoAnd it's Howard Lutnick... the guy who lived next door to Epstein and magically wasn't at work on 9/11.
- nazgob 4mo agoDoes it apply to USA citizens and organizations as well?

- polski-g 4mo agoYes
- Maxious 4mo agoFun fact the 1996 cryptography restrictions have never been repealed. You just haven't heard of them as open source software has broadly been exempted https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/publications/understanding-us-export-controls-with-open-source-projects https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/publications/under...
- RobotToaster 4mo agoI once had to go through the process of buying a compiled encryption library from a US company, which involved filling in a multi page form basically pinky swearing I wasn't a terrorist and wasn't going to sell it to North Korea. On the bright side I got to add "successfully managed the purchase of controlled munitions" to my CV.
- mattlutze 4mo agoYou haven't heard of them * unless you build hardware that talks to other hardware Then you've had lots of fun with EAR compliance.
- davidjade 4mo agoThat’s also probably why when publishing apps to app stores you have to attest to the forms of encryption your app uses.

- cookiengineer 4mo ago> They got a democratic mandate. Fun fact that is missing in US history education: Hitler was a legally elected chancellor. Don't skip history class, kids.
- qtk8 4mo agoSo?
- estearum 4mo agoAh yes I remember just masses of normal Americans chanting: "nationalize AI! Government should decide what private companies get to sell their products! Ideally they do it based on who is paying them! Tax me more for imports! Go to war with Iran!" I like how straightforward "democratic mandates" are, especially when you're dealing with a pathological liar
- swingboy 4mo agoBecause the American people weren’t outraged enough to push them out.

- ed_elliott_asc 4mo agoMy tin foil hat version of myself says it is because the whole thing is a marketing stunt and certain members of the administration are getting kick backs for it.
- 0000000000100 4mo agoMarketing stunt by who dude? Do you really think Anthropic would really go this far? This whole situation is completely absurd. The federal government is arbitrarily restricting AI models without really providing any reasoning. This is not a clear and transparent government and it just feels like gears are moving behind the scenes that have lead this out of character restriction of private and extremely wealthy (at least on paper) companies without much media or presence of any kind from the fed's side.
- saidnooneever 4mo agowhy not? they have been sued for 1.5Billion, with a B. do you think you get that because you play fair or are such great guys...? how much money do they spend on lobbying? if you count it you will see it. if not then perhaps do some homework and open your eyes.
- ben_w 4mo agoWhile I also regard the "doom from the companies themselves is just a marketing stunt" arguments as conspiracy-theory territory (especially since neither OpenAI nor Anthropic* changed their tune since before they were rich enough for meaningful lobbying): This particular specific doom is from the USG, Trump has a history of kayfabe, and there's a stink of market manipulation coming from the White House. * Musk, however, you can totally have: "With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon" in 2014 to "if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future?" in 2025.
- watwut 4mo agoSo, assuming they are moderately sane is "conspiracy theory"? Assuming they are evil unsane and actually believe that crap while doing what they do looks way more like conspiracy theory.
