My guess is that the returns on that would be either too small to risk the minor chance of discovery (random organized crime groups are not going to be able to pay tens of billions of dollars to them), or would involve dealing with non-US state actors in ways that would be very hard to cover up long-term (like, the three-letter agencies are going to eventually connect the dots between the new multibillions suddenly flowing to Anthropic and the new wave of zero-day exploits). Am I off regarding the money quantities involved and/or the discovery risks here?
