Anthropic's CEO, Dario is a clown that has been fear mongering and inviting the state to regulate AI for a very long time. Here's a short breakdown of his chicken little tactics:

•In 2019 while at OpenAI, he helped push the call that GPT-2 was too dangerous to release fully. It eventually came out regardless, and here we are. Did the sky fall?

• He then left OpenAI in a huff and started Anthropic, preaching “safe” AI with heavy guardrails, Constitutional AI, bla bla bla.

• Then came the endless public pleas for pauses, regulations, government audits, FAA-style oversight, export controls, and the power to block deployments. Essay after essay warning about risks while his company kept scaling.

• Right up to recent weeks, Dario was still out there calling for stronger rules, pauses on frontier models, and giving governments the kill switch.

Now his own Mythos-class models got yanked by the state he helped invite in. What an absolute mess! The two biggest takeaways from this are that:

1)Centralized models are like CBDCs, someone else has the kill switch and can turn it off at will.

2) Open-source alternatives are the future as most users will never trust a company like Anthropic again.
