Security researcher challenges Dario Amodei's framing of Anthropic's US policy rollout misstep
davidmanheim · x · 2026-10-21
Security researcher David Kasten publicly pushed back on Dario Amodei's explanation of a controversial Anthropic policy rollout that would affect US law nationwide and preempt the laws of Dario's home state. Dario had characterized it as "rhetoric or policy communication that wasn't carefully written" and a failure of fast-changing circumstances propagating between teams.
Kasten doubts that framing and root-cause diagnosis: even granting it, he asks what Anthropic is doing to ensure its government affairs team learns to heed the concerns of its broader technical staff, and where the blameless postmortem is to prevent recurrence on matters of national security policy consequence.
