genuinely could not be less excited.

Tons of fear-mongering, guaranteed made-up scenarios, zero tangible release for the public.

What this really is, virtue signaling and a cry for relevance.

Buko Capital writes, Anthropic's marketing strategy is so funny, like, ah, the government is treading on me.

Ah, our models are so good we can't release them.

It would be too dangerous.

Ah, someone stop me.

I'm going to destroy the economy.

Lucas on X writes, Just tell the relevant people what they need to know.

There is no need to run this massive fear-mongering campaign and scare the crap out of my grandma.

Imagine if military contractors did this.

Bro, if we used our new drone on you, nobody would even know where you went.

You would just evaporate.

You are so lucky we aren't droning you.

You're so lucky we're good people who aren't evaporating you with drone-mounted lasers, bro.
