Given the history of so-called "Open-AI", and Anthropic's recent mention of intentionally making the model perform worse in situations. I'm more and more worried that closed AI risks being hostile to any domain where they can potentially capture market share over.

I think I realized why I am so angry about the fable takedown. It's because I realize we aren't getting to AGI without a fight. This is the powerful closing ranks to keep capability centralized. This is the ceiling of model capability which we will be allowed to use. Greater capability will exist but it will be gated behind clearances, vetting and power. Reportedly, Amazon relayed these jailbreaks to the administration. Any investment Amazon has in Anthropic is dwarfed by its investment in AWS.
