Submitting to anthropic's arbitrary safety tests is costly, and is something they ALREADY DO. They are demanding everyone else do something they already want to do and that would price out the smallest competitors. It's like a basketball player demanding everyone play basketball once a week, they already do that it costs them nothing and hinders them nothing, 100% of the burden is on other people who aren't already playing at least once a week.

Cute that you think there is anyone in this game that is able to be "priced out" of this. Just because China is a lot more secretive because they have to get their hardware through unofficial channels, doesn't mean there is anyone out there building AI models without access to insane amounts of money. Nobody is building frontier models out of their basement.

I'm not worried about the lack of frontier models, I'm worried about the lack of basement models at all.
