@StephenLCasper @natolambert I agree that it’s not the attitude in the EU, and that some US private actors overplayed the anti-OS attitudes for purely partisan reasons.

@Miles_Brundage Though to be clear it’s absolutely strategically ill-advised, yes. Would I be mortified to see it leaked if I worked at Anthropic? Yeah, my thoughts are with all government affairs & policy staff
