Funny how AI companies now make policy and influence national security - because they're so scared of Chinese competition. This isn't the first example of that sort of thing, but it's noteworthy that Anthropic's Amondei is telling China what it should do even after he abstained from signing the letter opposing a ban on Open-weight models. Here's what Amodei wrote: https://www. anthropic.com/news/p

China’s emerging advantage in artificial intelligence (AI) is not that it already has the world’s best chips or strongest frontier models. It is that Chinese companies are increasingly providing capable intelligence at a price the global market can afford. AI is fast becoming everyday infrastructure. It is metered by usage and embedded in businesses, public services and devices, much like electric
