Enforcing the SCR designation on Anthropic would be very bad for our industry and our country, and obviously their company. We said to the DoW before and after. We said that part of the reason we were willing to do this quickly was in the hopes of de-esclation. I feel competitive with Anthropic for sure, but successfully building safe superintelligence and widely sharing the benefits is way more important that any company competition. I believe they would do something to try to help us in the face of great injustice if we could. We should all care very much about the precedent. I saw in some other tweet that I must not be willing to criticize the DoW (it said something about sucking their dick too hard to be able to say anything critical, but I assume this was the intent). To say it very clearly: I think this is a very bad decision from the DoW and I hope they reverse it. If we take heat for strongly criticizing it, so be it.
