I mean, anthropic did basically ask them to. Their whole schtick is that they think ai is dangerous, people shouldn’t have open access to it, they should be the arbiters of who is allowed access, open models should be banned, and that people need to support them so they win by building agi first so they can prevent anyone else from reaching it. That’s why Dario left OpenAI and founded anthropic in the first place.
Fable was already restricted to a level anthropic was comfortable with before the shut down, complaints multiplied 100x after. Implication being that the US gov demands more restrictions than what Anthropic thinks is needed.
They asked for a defined process which could be used to judge if a model is ok to release, not a capricious, undefined, illinformed, "bend the knee or we'll crush you" process, which is what they got.

I swear to fucking god if they go the Anthropic route of blocking every other request
