2c: I guess it's a "wait and see" approach. The AI Bill is making good progress through EU parliament and will soon (?) be enforceable. It includes pretty hefty fines (up to 7% annual turnover for noncompliance) and lots of currently amorphous definitions of harm. And it'll make it necessary for AI firms like Anthropic to make their processes/weights more transparent/explicable. Ironically, Anthropic seem very publicly animated about their research into 'mechanistic interpretability' (i.e. why is the AI behaving the way its behaving?), and they're happy to rake $$ in in the meantime all while maintaining a stance of caution and reluctance to transparency. I will wait and see whether they follow a similar narrative arc to OpenAI. Once 'public good', then 'private profit'.
