The part of this argument that doesn’t work for me is, why Anthropic in particular?
If AI is a nuclear-level technology, then I’d expect the government to be nationalizing all of the AI companies, regardless of contract negotiations, but so far all we’re hearing is that Anthropic specifically should be nationalized, but Google and OpenAI should continue operating as private companies (in one case by not selling this tech at to the military at all, and in another allegedly having the same contract terms as Anthropic).
I’m somewhat sympathetic to both views [AI is normal tech and private property should be respected / AI is a military technology and should be controlled by the government], but not to the position that Claude in particular is a military tech and ChatGPT, Gemini (and Deepseek) aren’t.
