Thinking out loud (and speculating🤔), it could be possible that #anthropic has pursued a customer segmentation strategy behind their fracas with #Pentagon and, if true, that means they're still also a hyena like the other venal #GenAI (albeit now dressed up as lambs?🧐). In that case, who still wants to "stand with" #claude and the other hyenas? #Regulation and institutionalized #guardrails are critically still absent and #longoverdue imho.🤦♂️

As we have observed from the #oligopolistic #BigTech in the past two decades, these unbridled #capitalistic endeavors do not lend themselves to #selfregulation for the #publicgood. Likewise, it will be naive to carry-on hoping that #OpenAI and the other #generativeAI players will #selfregulate. That's the #duty of elected #governments and #public #agencies, and the promulgation of effective #AI #regulations is now #longOverdue! -
