Dario Amodei: Anthropic never advocated banning open-weights models

In a post on reports that US officials may ban Chinese open-weights models, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the company has never advocated for a ban. He calls open-weights models without dangerous capabilities a public good, and says his top concern is authoritarian governments building AI more powerful than the US's to achieve military superiority or deep repression.
