Anthropic’s open-source messaging draw a backlash lesson from the past 24 hours

The post says the last 24 hours have been a useful communications lesson: avoid posting obviously bad takes that will get dogpiled. It argues Anthropic could have framed its message as full support for open source while still opposing unfair distillation by China, and notes that the current version has dominated the poster’s timeline.
In short, this is less about the technical issue itself and more about how an AI company should message a contentious policy position without triggering backlash.
