> or why the narrative here is all about this being payback

The 'narrative' is focused on the corruption because government corruption is a big deal! Even when it's not truly surprising, and even when you have no sympathy for the (immediate) losers, it should be somewhat shocking, or else what are we even doing here.

You talk about Anthropic giving the government 'enough rope' and getting 'owned', which seems like a tacit acknowledgement that the government does not give a shit about whatever the surface-level justification for this ban is. And you even explicitly acknowledge "the possiblility of insider plays by the current administration w/ OpenAI or SpaceX". What level of cynicism/tribalism are you on, that you don't see this as obviously the main story here?

I think you’re whitewashing Dario’s abhorrent behavior, and you think I’m whitewashing the government’s.

Unfortunately there’s no law against being a piece of shit and trying to pull the ladder up behind you, lobby for locking out your competitors under the guise of safety, etc..

So I have to settle for him getting swallowed by the morons he was influencing.

And if you think his concerns over safety were genuine I have a bridge to sell you.
