These are the people shaping the future of AI? What happened to all the ethical values they love to preach about?

We've held China accountable for counterfeiting products for decades and regulated their exports. So why should Anthropic be allowed to export their products and services after engaging in the same illegal activity?

Comment is more about the pseudo ethical high ground

Companies being above the law does create a stratified system in this country for those who can benefit from said companies and those who cannot. Call it what you like.
