Blogger slams Dario's AI regulation push as self-serving bid to block open source
examachine · x · 2026-09-14
Blogger boriquagato launched a harsh attack on Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's calls for government AI regulation, reading it as a commercial move to shield Anthropic from open-weight competition.
Key points:
- The post claims Dario is effectively proposing a transnational control body for AI — "a UN or WHO or WEF for AI" — subordinating development choices to governments.
- The author offers two readings: hopelessly naive (nobody would comply, development just goes dark) or self-serving (open-weight models are about to ravage Anthropic's business, so regulation is needed to stop the losses).
- A vivid specimen of the ongoing closed-labs-vs-open-source and regulation debate in the AI community.
