The antitrust claims are a complete smokescreen. Industries can and do adopt safety standards without government intervention.

So what? Anthropic believes their work has a 10% chance of killing all humans. I think risking the destruction of Anthropic's business should be worth avoiding that, if that's what they believe. And with one half of the frontier duopoly gone, the other half would have no incentive to race forward. And I know there's China, but they just get all their capabilities from distilling Claude, right? So, problem solved there, too.
