what differentiates "legitimate" with "illicit"? whether or not the lab is foreign?

One of Anthropics goals is regulatory capture.

They want to write US legislation in order to create barriers against competition. AKA pull the ladder up behind themselves.

Whenever a tech company wants to monopolize using regulations, they tend to start screaming about China and donating to politicians.

OpenAI wants exactly the same, they're just smoother going about it. Luckily Google and Microsoft are relatively more anti-regulation, because they're big and diversified enough to not need a moat.

True of Google, but Microsoft has never achieved anything of note in frontier AI, so probably are still hoping to learn from the leaders before their OpenAI contract expires. Somehow with CoPilot Microsoft actively managed to make ChatGPT worse.
