The Trump administration’s decision to halt all foreign use of Anthropic’s most-capable AI models was prompted by conversations between Amazon.com AMZN -1.23%decrease; down pointing triangle Chief Executive Andy Jassy and U.S. officials including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, people familiar with the matter said.

Researchers at Amazon had used a series of prompts to get Anthropic’s Fable 5 model to provide them with information that could be used to aid cyberattacks and was supposed to be off-limits, Jassy told the officials, according to people familiar with the matter. Tech industry executives have been in regular touch with the administration about the power of cutting-edge AI tools.

The funniest part is that those purported capabilities are a complete nothingburger. They just hyped them up to seem more awesome, so they ended up scaring the geniuses at the current us govt to shut them down. Amazing self - own. But I guess it makes for good pr

Great so now the US gov is passing corruption directly into highly competitive fields.

That's awful. That might actually tank the US economy as a whole.

Either you make rules for all of them or nah, but picking out anthropic I'm pretty sure is just plain retaliatory action, which is a very dangerous game to play if you wanna keep your economy up.

Lol, so because Anslopic train on proprietary and security sensitive data, it had to be blocked. I think that exposes the problems with how they retrieve their training material and where they get it from. Maybe the paid prompts which shouldn't be used for training are being used after all? Who would've thought!
