Dario Amodei: "Within Anthropic, this is just really unambiguous. We are under an incredible amount of commercial pressure... The pressure to survive economically while also keeping our values is just incredible. We are trying to keep this 10x revenue curve going. There is zero time for bullshit."
"Anthropic is selling regulatory capture as bipartisan wisdom... Mandatory third-party safety audits of AI developers, conducted by government-blessed expert bodies of political animals, are a textbook regulatory moat. They impose fixed compliance costs that scale beautifully for incumbents and crush everyone else. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google can absorb a compliance bureaucracy without breaking a sweat. A team of seven engineers in Miami or Austin building a startup competitor cannot."
这不是我一个人的判断。华盛顿的观察者们早就看穿了这套把戏。
David Sacks(白宫AI顾问)公开批评
"Anthropic is running a sophisticated regulatory capture strategy based on fear-mongering. It is principally responsible for the state regulatory frenzy that is damaging the startup ecosystem."
"Anthropic's monthly lobbying expenditures have increased by roughly 511%... rising from 180,000attheendofthefirstquarterof2024to1.1 million during the final quarter of 2025. Since launching its lobbying operation in 2023, Anthropic has spent just over

"Anthropic's5.1milliononlobbyists."20 million commitment to Public First Action - a PAC backing candidates who favor AI regulation - signals something fundamental has shifted. This is not about resisting oversight anymore. Major AI labs are now competing to shape the regulatory framework itself."
"Anthropic has officially stepped into the political arena... The AI safety company has filed documents with the Federal Election Commission to establish a new political action committee called AnthroPAC... contributions will be made to both major political parties."

"The regulation we have advocated for - for example, SB53 in California - exempted everyone who makes under $500 million a year in revenue... it really only applies to Anthropic and three or four other companies - the companies that have the resources."
"Other experts have claimed that the company is exaggerating AI's abilities or constructing warnings about AI to bring in regulations that could harm competitors."
FourWeekMBA - 「Anthropic: Can Safety Be a Moat?」
"Anthropic is wagering that the company that solves AI safety will own the most valuable market position in technology history... The smart money says regulation is coming. And when it does, Anthropic's years of investment in safety infrastructure will look less like a cost and more like a castle with a very deep moat."
