No frontier lab has ever claimed they would cure cancer without biopharma partnerships, with their technology as a (somewhere on the spectrum of minor to revolutionary) accelerator.

Bro we are talking about using Norway's 2 trillion dollar oil and natural gas surplus to buy OpenAI. Nobody has the environmental high ground here.

Sorry but if you stepped back for a moment you'd realize this is all contrived nonsense to let to have your cake and eat it too. No, Anthropic did not mind-game the US government into being worried about cybersecurity. The NSA has bee
