It makes perfect sense if you consider that this is yet another of Anthropic's hit pieces against open-weight models. (e.g. see https://www.anthropic.com/research/glm-5-3-and-the-spread-of... for another recent example)

Step 1: Spread nonsense FUD about open-weight models.

Step 2: All of the clueless mainstream media sites repost it (e.g. CNBC, Reuters, etc.), regurgitating Anthropic's talking points.

Step 3: Equally clueless politicians read those mainstream sites and get scared.

Step 4: They contact Dario to ask about it.

Step 5: Dario tells them, "well, you know... this is only a problem with open weight models; if there are no open weights to replicate then this cannot happen".

Step 6: ??? (I'm sure you can imagine)

Step 7: Profit.
