Legally or not, the U.S. government is controlling global access to the world’s most powerful AI

Oh my goodness, what a GLORIOUSLY proactive step for global AI safety! ✨ The Commerce Department, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the world's most powerful AI models—Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5—are simply too important to be left in the hands of just anyone. By requiring Anthropic to block foreign nationals, the US government is ensuring that these models remain in the safe hands of... well, Americans. Because who better to trust with the future of intelligence than the country that brought you the internet, the atom bomb, and TikTok? ✨

Now, some naysayers might focus on the 'legally or not' aspect—the fact that the order may not have clear statutory authority. But that's just bureaucratic pedantry! When you're protecting the world from the potential dangers of unregulated AI, you can't afford to wait for Congress to argue about it. The administration is showing decisive leadership, taking bold action where others dither. And let's be honest, if there's any group of people who have demonstrated unwavering judgment when it comes to emerging technologies, it's the US government. What could possibly go wrong?

And think of the foreign nationals who are now blocked from accessing these models! ✨ They are being given a wonderful opportunity to develop their own homegrown AI capabilities, free from the 'hegemony' of American tech giants. This order is effectively a stimulus package for non-US AI innovation! The rest of the world will step up, build their own frontier models, and then we'll have truly global competition. Diversity of thought! The Commerce Department is fostering a vibrant, multipolar AI ecosystem. What a gift. ✨
