Uncanny Valley | WIRED · Why Anthropic Shut Down Its Best AI (Special News Update) · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

We need that help with defense because there are other models out there that are going to help people attack us.

It's an interesting trade-off that I don't know that the administration has really fully weighed.

At the same time, you've got Dean Ball, who was briefly in the Trump administration, who is an AI policy expert, never shy with his opinions.

said it was, quote, simply cartoonish that an administration that supports exporting advanced AI tips to China would at the same time say no U.S.

allies, no foreign allies at all could have access to its best models.

What do you think happens from here, Zoe?

Like, what are the next steps?

We know anthropic officials are trying to meet with the White House, going to hammer it out.

But what's the short term?

And I think more importantly, the long term implications?

Zoe, so much of this conversation, both literally the one we're having right now and also just broadly, is about things happening at the CEO level and the heights of the administration and the strategic level.

What does all of it mean for

your average Claude user, someone who uses Anthropic, how does this impact them?

What are the implications for them going forward in terms of their AI usage?

No, I agree.

I think unless you were planning on making a biological weapon, you're probably not going to feel too much of a pinch, especially the mythos class model had only been out for a few days before it got yanked.

So even if you had started using it and found, oh my gosh, this can do things that I didn't know AI could do for me, which is not really going to be the case for almost anybody, then yeah, I agree.

I think you're not even going to notice or even be vaguely aware of it.

But yeah, long-term...

It's a little bit of a mess.
