Anthropic versus the entire tech industry

Anthropic stands alone in opposing open source AI while the rest of the tech industry supports it, according to a post on X. The author warns that Anthropic's lobbying efforts will effectively kneecap open source through incremental restrictions, despite claims to the contrary.

The entire tech industry save for Anthropic has come out in favor of open source AI. So what happens next? Will Anthropic change its lobbying efforts? Not likely. Now the gaslighting begins: “Nobody is trying to ban open source.” “We just want to limit who can use it.” “We just want to limit who can contribute to it.” “We just want to limit how powerful those models can be.” “We just want to make sure the guardrails we lobbied for can’t be removed.” The net effect will be the same. They won’t stop until they kneecap open source. The rest of the industry needs to watch these guys like a hawk. - Since when did the tech industry need open letters to compete? Why doesn’t a competitor just release a superior OW model? @deanwball https://x.com/deanwball blocked me earlier for calling out his BS that "nO oNe iS tRyNiNg tO bAn oPeN sOuRce" Open Source Must Win.
