USSafety Wars The claim

Sacks says Anthropic invented the AI-safety panic to box out rivals.

The catch

Anthropic turned down a Pentagon contract and ate a federal blacklisting rather than drop its safety guardrails.

USSafety Wars The claim

A White House adviser says AI-doomer rhetoric incited the attack on Sam Altman's home.

The catch

The safety groups blamed for it have zero documented contact with the attacker and explicit no-violence policies.
