...You realize the only valid uses of supply chain risk you mentioned were DJI and Huawei. TikTok isn't providing services to the U.S. Gov. Anthropic is an American company with no foreign ownership. A supplier does not have to sell it's product to a government it knows is liable to misuse it. Not as a SaaS provider. Nvidia and ASML are both now covered under ITAR. Your specification of Democrat &Republican admins just demonstrates both are two sides of the same coin. Both need a good and thorough cleaning out.

Anthropic has private ownership from a bunch of foreign investors GIC and MGX for one.

Not saying this action is correct or not but Anthropic has no reason to decline Chinese investment if they could get it. Neither does openAI.

It's insane people consider private companies should have free speech.

When they can't and aren't willing to do the same for private citizens. People being shot on streets didn't see any court cases?

I find hn to be quite brain dead in terms of what it chooses to care about.
