Are you saying the only ethically valid path is for all companies to oppose all regulation? Supporting any regulation at all can only be from bad motives, and therefore should be avoided?

>Supporting any regulation at all can only be from bad motives, and therefore should be avoided?

It's just vibe check heuristic -- if the regulated throws a tantrum telling how switching to USB-C charging or opening up the app store will get them out of businees (spoilers -- it never does), it's probably a good one, if the regulated cheers on, it may be to stiff competition.

The opposite is true with certain countries -- whenever you hear one telling loudly that "sanctions don't hurt at all and only make me stronger", then you know it hurts.

How on earth did you come to the conclusion that anyone here is talking about all regulation?

This is a very specific form of regulation, and one that very clearly only benefits incumbents with (vast sums of) previous investment. Anthropic is advocating applying "regulation-for-thee, but not for me."
