The Friday night deadline refers to the stated deadline given to Anthropic. The market asks whether Anthropic will give in to this threat before facing the stated/possible consequences.

Why is this so low? I guess people are calling Hegseth's bluff, or expecting Anthropic to do delaying tactics or something? Is this just "nothing ever happens"?

@GarrettBaker it’s largely ‘nothing ever happens’. The ways hegseth can act seem so harmful for so little apparent benefit, and anthropic seems unlikely to respond to the threat before consequences are concretized / believable

@GarrettBaker Occasionally things do happen, but never by Friday night

@morallawwithin Wish this were right.

@GarrettBaker why do you say that? Is there some news on this matter I’d benefit from being aware of

@morallawwithin Anthropic has been designated a supply chain risk

bought Ṁ1 NO

I feel like the odds of this are very low based on the date. Also, what is unfettered access? Is it just the ability to use the model for any "lawful purpose"? (the language that the other providers have)

@CampbellHutcheson that date is the stated date of the deadline given to anthropic, so the intent is to ask, will anthropic give in to the threat, before facing the stated / possible consequences.
Yes, it's to use the model for any "lawful purposes", according to the meaning behind the language used in the reporting

@Bayesian that's fair, I understand the market and why it is set up; I'm just sort of complaining about the twitters I guess : )
