Dean W. Ball / @deanwball : Anthropic secretly limiting Claude's usefulness for LLM development strengthens the argument that Anthropic is using AI safety to justify monopolistic behavior — My last observation re: Anthropic's secret sabotage safety policy, is that it undermines actually good safety policy. How? 1. First, it is very plausible to describe this as anti-competitive behavior (even if you are maximally sympathetic to Anthropic here you must admit this),
