The lack of evidence before attributing the attack(s) to a Chinese sponsored group makes me correlate this report with recent statements from companies in the AI space about how China is about to surpass US in the AI race. Ultimately statements and reports like these seem more like an attempt to make the US government step in and be the big investor that keeps the money flowing rather than anything else.

‘No true Scotsman’?

Also, plenty of folks with no allegiance would love to pit everyone else against each other.

Possibly, but:

- Many people in many countries now hate the U.S. and U.S. companies like Anthropic.

- In addition, leaders in the U.S. have been lobbied by OpenAI and invest in it which is a direct competitor and is well-represented on HN.

- China’s government has vested interest in its own companies’ AI ventures.

Given this, I’d hardly say that Anthropic was much of a strong U.S. puppet company, and likely has strong evidence about what happened, why also hoping to spin the PR to get people to buy their services.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that people that write inflammatory posts about Anthropic may have more than an axe to grind against AI and may be influenced by their country and its propaganda or potentially may even be working for them.

You are a communist if you do not like "AI" or sloppy "papers"!
