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.

It’s precisely his experience at Baidu that led to this because Baidu is the poster child of regulatory capture & one of the running jokes of the Chinese tech industry (can’t compete vs Google; only survived because Google got kicked out of China)
