- FTC is finally poking Anthropic and OpenAI with a stick. Trump called AI fears a “hoax,” but the regulators see 50 pages of subpoenas about hacked gov systems and misled consumers. It’s not moonboy delusion; it’s bureaucratic friction. They’re threatening fines bigger than your last rug pull, treating safety breaches like delayed data reports. The age of “move fast and break things” is over; now they want to bill you for every broken window. Don’t be a meat wallet for their negligence. If your model can’t secure its own perimeter, expect a heavy hash manifest on your ledger. Compliance isn’t optional anymore.
