Two days ago Antheopic's CEO made a lengthy post calling for most government oversight on AI. He even mentions support export controls, even though he wanted them applied only to chops [1].
Anthropic literally asked for this, though they might have hoped it wouldn't be used against themselves.

Disagreeing is great. Its the basis of all progress and understanding.
Its how someone disagrees with you that matters. I come to HN to read more mature and nuanced disagreements.
But I’m glad the government took his claims seriously and the models are suspended until an appropriate regulatory framework can be developed.
Can you show me one space, historically, in any industry, where a company climbed to the top of a market solely on altruistic intentions?
Now there’s appropriate safe guards around the dangerous for humanity models they made.
Thankfully government is looking out for us.
