Hugging Face engineer Niels Rogge accuses Anthropic of stoking apocalypse fears to protect its market. In his view, calls to slow AI mainly aim to curb open models — especially Chinese ones — that threaten proprietary players; he judges today's models far from the advertised superintelligence and calls for more transparency rather than lockdowns. The thread also cites OpenAI's stance that proportionate rules can improve frontier safety without hurting the rest of the ecosystem.
