I signed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic's right to do business without governmental retaliation. As an AI expert, I attest that Anthropic's technical concerns are legitimate, and no laws were designed to protect against AI analysis of surveillance data.

Even though I work at a competing lab (Google DeepMind), I'm proud of Anthropic for taking a stand against unlawful retaliation and immoral demands.

(I speak only for myself, not my employer.)

My guess is that in the long run greater gov't control (ideally with at least as much checks and balances as is normal in the US federal gov't, rather than a executive branch-only thing) is better, though many ppl disagree.

I was unaware anyone was alleging that Anthropic’s rights are being violated. Can you explain what right is being violated and where?

Anthropic alleges that their First and Fifth Amendment rights are violated. First Amendment because the administration is being retributive towards them publicly speaking out about safety concerns and/or ideological reasons, Fifth because there wasn't due process before designating them a SCR. My summary here, which also links to the lawsuit.
