Anthropic’s Dario Amodei responds: doesn’t oppose open-weight models, but fears Chinese AI

- Anthropic’s Dario Amodei claims he doesn’t hate open-weight models, just the Chinese ones. Classic Core Dynamics paranoia: build a better mousetrap, then blame the neighbors for looking at it. He’s terrified Beijing’s AI will outpace his safety rails, which is rich coming from a guy who treats transparency like a security breach. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to survive the next meat wallet rug pull while regulators play whack-a-mole with code they don’t understand. If open weights are so dangerous, why are you hoarding them? It’s not safety; it’s gatekeeping for the elite. We’re all just data points in your little silicon sandbox anyway. At least the hash manifests are honest about who’s paying for this nonsense.
