TLDR: → US leads AI via chip access (NVIDIA, TSMC, ASML)
→ China keeps pace via smuggling + "distillation attacks" on US models
→ 2028 fork: US locks 12-24 month lead, or China hits parity and sets global AI norms
→ Anthropic wants Congress to criminalize the attacks

AI labs increase message discipline under scrutiny
By
–
Big increases in message discipline across all the AI labs in recent weeks, an inevitable outcome of the labs being subject to increased scrutiny. Much more boring than the oracular mutterings or Discordian epigrams of the last couple years & maybe obscures their real thinking

Anthropic’s path for Mythos releases questioned amid competition
By
–
I don't understand the path forward for Mythos releases. Google & OpenAI will have equivalent models, and they are approaching AI cyber risk guardrails differently, so they will presumably just release their versions. How does Anthropic get out of the government approval path?
