Did Anthropic Ask for This?

# Summary The author argues that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's published policy calling for government power to block AI model deployments for unacceptable risks directly led to a US export control directive restricting foreign access to Anthropic's latest models. The author contends that the government's action precisely matches Amodei's stated regulatory framework, including government blocking authority, third-party risk assessment, and scope limited to specific risks like cybersecurity threats. The author criticizes Anthropic for pushing years of regulation they didn't anticipate would apply to themselves and for continuing to advocate government power over AI despite political changes.
