That part is up to Anthropic. KYC[0] is not exotic, it's just a pain in the butt: if Fable is that good, they can do the KYC.

I don't think this is the right move from the government, but we shouldn't pretend that "citizens only" is an insurmountable hurdle for a company that just got a $65B capital infusion.

Sure, but what if that "known good customer" proxied access to someone else?

Then Anthropic did their part and blames the good customer after implementing "reasonable" measures to prevent it. They still get paid.

This is a problem that banks deal with all the time.

It truly is a pain in the butt. But if access to (US banking | Fable) is worth it, you do the annoying work, and the customers accept the annoying limitations.
