Anthropic's Fable Backlash, Nationalizing AI, Inflation Heats Up & California's Broken Elections
"What are the best open source models today? They're Chinese. The American open source models are not as good as the Chinese open source models. So the restrictions that Anthropic and others are putting upon themselves and upon the industry is forcing a lot of companies to go and get open source Chinese models and run them."
David Friedberg revealed that restrictions by Anthropic and other US AI labs on genomic and biotech research are pushing American companies to adopt Chinese open-source models, which currently outperform American alternatives. His agriculture company was forced to switch after being blocked from using AI for genetic construct design and gene variant predictions. He warns this trend gives China unfair economic advantages in biotech, material science, and industrial systems as US self-regulation damages American competitiveness.
